Tunes to make your BBQ grove

Well, as summer is upon us, and everyone is gonna be removing the BBQ from the shed, finding it covered in last years food, and spending 2 hours cleaning the grill :D

But all the hard work has been done, the beers are chilled, you're spraying the fire with lighter fluid to get that flame grilled taste, people are running round your garden throwing buckets of water at each other, its paradise.

Question is, what tunes are you going to use to accentuate this fine moment? Songs that everyone loves, and that really capture that feeling of summer? For me, they all come from the mid to late 90's.

DJ Piper & the masters of the ceremony - Do you really like it
Spiller - Grovejet (if this aint love)
Architectes - Body grove
Craig David - fill me in
Vanessa amorosi - absolutly everybody

What would your suggestions be? Knox & swafe, we all you love the heavy metal, but to me screaming over instruments being tortured doesn't really say "summer" :p

Alrite, if your gonna ban me from heavy metal.......

Rolling Stones - Paint It Black
Radiohead - Just
Run DMC vs. Aerosmith - Walk This way
House Of Pain - Jump Around
Will Smith - Summertime
Tupac - California Love
The Streets - Fit but you know it
Stereophonics - Bartender and the Thief
Ocean Colour Scene - Mile High City
Blur - Park Life
AC/DC - Highway to Hell

I'm not banning you, i'm limiting you :p

Last person that tried to limit me was from my credit card company, I taught him a lesson by going overdrawn......oh yeah.......thats bad ain't it :Oops:

Only for you :p

*Slips First piece of heavy metal past ben*

Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar

*Creeps back into the shadows*

Noooo. This will always go down in my mind as the track which made SEB decide she could do solo/mainstream work, thereby bringing theaudience to an end. And they weren't bad either.

</rant>

Edit: However it does belong on that list I suppose

Oh yes they were... :)

Run DMC vs Jason Nevins - It's Like That
Christopher Just - I'm a Disco Dancer

Remind me of the summer whenever I hear them (because of the free 'Summer' Magazine CD I have them on).

Well, he's honest :p

Fatboy slim - Right here right now
Roger Sanchez - Another Chance
Daft Punk - One more time / Digital Love
Bassment Jaxx - Romeo
Ian Brown - F.E.A.R. (unkle rmx)
3 Drives - Greece 2000

are what I'd put on if I wanted to make sure everyone liked it :)

Need some of The Thrills on the playlist as well, chuck on a couple of tracks off the first album.

See the sig image for clarification of why I said that :P

/sarcasm mode=30 %

Tunes to make my BBQ Grove......

well.....to make a grove you need lots of tree's.

However, to make it groOve I'd go with lots of AC/DC.

Rock n Roll makes people happy :)

right, zak is no longer invited :p

Despite their lack of excessive mainstream exposure, the new Hopesfall album "A-Types"makes for relative easy listening rock that even my rap loving best mate has taken a impressive interest in. While their older work is far better, most barbeque goers would probably enjoy it.

BTW... on a completely unrelated sidenote, I find it intriguing how people can have certain main tastes, enjoy some genres, but despise other genres - which are very similar to the other genre. Example. Chris enjoys his hip hop, RHCP and all that. However, he also loves AFI, the Blood Brothers and Hopesfall (All I've managed to get him into so far), whilst hating Poison the Well, Refused and Alexisonfire.

Baffling!

Back on topic... there is ONE track that should be at EVERY SINGLE barbeque in the world. Throwdown - Baby Got Back.

YES.

How can anyone? :eek: :rockon:

Getting back on track (no pun intended)

Being down here on the coast and near the beach, summer music to me always means classic rock, surf music and maybe a bit of motown

The lovin' spoonful - "Summer in the city" (at the start of Die Hard 3 if anyone can't remember it)
Lots of Jimi Hendrix
Lots of Led Zeppelin
Reef - "Place your hands" or "Naked" well any Reef
Rootjoose - "Can't keep living this way" or "Mr Fixit" (they are local though so i'm not sure how far they spread)
Joe Cocker - "Little help from my friends"
Otis Redding - "Sitting by the dock of the bay"
War - "Why can't we be friends"
Some Jackson 5 ( definitely "I want you back" though)
Smokey Robinson - "Tracks of my tears"
The Commodores or Faith No More - "Easy" (both awesome versions)
Thin Lizzy - "Boys are back in town", and "Jailbreak"
Norma Jean - "Memphis will be laid to waste" (Ok, maybe i'm kidding there :p )
Queen - "Don't stop me now" + so many others
Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Sweet Home Alabama"
Chuck Berry - "Johnny B. Goode" (although there are hundred of versions of it)
Dust Junkys - Done and Dusted the Album (just a personal fav album though)
Sublime - "What I got"
Incubus - "Wish you were here" or "Echo"
Kiss - "God gave rock and roll to you", "Crazy crazy nights" or "Detroit rock city"
Mr Scruff - the "Keep it unreal" album is a personal fav for funky background music at gatherings, but definitely "Spandex Man"
The Who - "My Generation"
Smashing Pumpkins - "1979"
The Blues Brothers soundtrack

I've probably forgot and managed to miss loads off my usual summer list though

Now there is a man with some serious taste in music and welcome at any of my BBQ's :)

Seeing as that I live in a cottage with large gardens and no-one around for miles, i tend to have a BBQ almost every other day in the hight of summer (which tend to get a bit silly and last into the following morning ;)), I have a large collection of 'BBQ favourites' which I might post when I get home. Probably have a few more when i get back from the Big Chill in August too :):)

But appart from what Barakka said, for me there has got to be some Herbaliser, 2 Many DJ's mixs, Lemon Jelly, Scruff, Hexstatic, DJ Shadow, Bent, Morcheeba and maybe Kruder & Dorfmeister in there too. Oh, and I could not have a BBQ without a little Groove Armada too.

BTW, the J5 sugestion freaked me out a little. As soon as i saw the thread title that song popped into my head!

Howsabout:

Snuff - Arsehole
Rancid - Time Bomb

Anyone here heard of Jack Johnson? Discovered his music on my travels, great summer music!
