I think at the time it was one step up in price from their least expensive Tele. I’m not…

I can name a whole bunch. I've always loved "A Summer Song" by Chad and Jeremy, though that's more about the end of summer. "Summer Wind" by Frank Sinatra, "Summer in the City" by the Lovin' Spoonful (with… Read more

Reply to Q Songs

Most of what I can think of has already been covered here, but I have a few to add:

Quadrophenia, A Quick One, While He’s Away and The Quiet One – The Who (Quadrophenia is the title of both the album and one of the instrumental songs is contains)

Queen of the Go-Go Girls – Mudcrutch (early Tom Petty band)

Queen or the Roller Derby -…
