My top three picks today are perfect for any summer playlist! They are: Billie Jean by Michael Jackson (may he r.i.p.), Hotel Yorba by The White Stripes (a bit of a throwback, I know), and last but not least In Transit by Albert Hammond Jr.
First off: Billie Jean is still relevant today. That song will never get old and that beginning riff is something that will always get me dancing. That album is the top selling album of all time and its no wonder why. With infectious beats and relatable lyrics, anyone can see why songs like Billie Jean are still playing on people's iPods. It really is perfect for summertime tunage and its a PERFECT car song. When your driving with your friends, this is the kinda song you want playing in the background. I mean EVERYONE knows this song.
Next we have Hotel Yorba by The White Stripes. I went through a huge White Stripes phase a few years ago and this was my favorite song by the dark-haired-duo. It's upbeat and acoustic which is a great formula for a "chilling on the beach" song. I'm also obsessed with the music video. It's a great addition to anyone's latest playlist.
Last we have In Transit. I have been playing this song basically non-stop since last summer. Albert Hammond Jr. is one of those bands that you just CAN'T hate. They just know how to add those addicting riffs and easy-to-learn lyrics that are perfect to listen to as you walk around the city or bike by the beach. This band also has the blessing of sounding amazing both live and in-studio, which isn't really easy to come by. This song is a MUST-have.
