Okay, what makes a good backyard BBQ? Is it the burgers? The friends? Maybe it’s the lame dad flipping the Costco burgers 16 times. But, if any of those were your initial thoughts, well then….
What makes a good BBQ is a superior playlist.
As excited as I am to share with you the top Christmas music you should be listening to from November 1st until Dec 26th at 12:01 AM, here are the summer toons that will get your BBQ rocking.
1. Helluva Life by Frankie Ballard
2. Hard-Core Troubadour by Steve Earle
3. Island in the Sun by Weezer
4. Learning to Fly by Tom Petty
5. Learn to Fly by the Foo Fighters (that’s a two for Tuesday special)
6. Give it Up by KC and the Sunshine Band
7. Africa by Toto
8. Driving Home For Christmas by Chris Rea (here’s where you get to pull off your dad jokes, oh how did Christmas make its way to the BBQ?)
9. Main Street by Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band
10. Everywhere (live at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, CA 5/23/97) by Fleetwood Mac (the older I get, the better Fleetwood Mac sounds)
Honorable Mention: Don’t Stop Believing (little overplayed), Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen, and Little Silver Ring by The Samples (this is your sweet brag indie rock band conversation starter).
Remember dads, they may have come for the food, but they’ll leave with your sweet summertime music selections stuck in their heads. Choose wisely.
