Boner Jamz Redux and/or Summer Jamz

I'm on a summer kick. I'm sun burnt, warm as all can be, and feeling good about miles covered and prospects of skateboarding. And yeah, to repeat, it's summer. One always has a song of the summer, a song that pulls together the vibes and the times of specific places and phases. I'm going to try to come up with mine and approximate summer dates to go with them:

-Summer of 1999: Nas, One Love.

-Summer of 2000: Freddy Foxxx, 24 Hours.

-Summer of 2001: Thin Lizzy, Jail Break.

-Summer of 2002: MOP, Ante Up.

-Data is missing for 2003 and 2004

-Summer of 2005: Judas Priest, Living After Midnight, and The Rolling Stones, Can't You Hear Me Knocking?, and The Game, Hate It or Love It.

-Summer of 2006: Fat Joe, Make It Rain.

-Summer of 2007: A three way tie of sorts; Belle & Sebastian, You're Cover's Blown, anything by Justice, and Rhianna, Umbrella.

-Summer of 2008: First, Sonic Youth, Teen Age Riot, then, Belle & Sebastian, Lazy Line Painter Jane.

-Summer of 2009: Thus far, nothing yet. Right now on the I-pod I'm playing an amalgamation of past jamz. Probably not a contender, but I've been vibing on the good ol' De La Soul, I Am, I Be, for some weeks now.

Share current and past summer jamz in the comments.
