BILL POSTERS Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 A comment by Spectorema about Tull being winter music has got me thinking, are there really seasons for different bands or even genres ? I know the Beach Boys are summer, but thats just from when they get airplay. I'm thinking a bit deeper than that. For example Lindisfarne always seemed wintery to me, same with Paul Simon. Doobies will always be early summer. Beatles are for Christmas. But is that just from my own experiences or does everyone feel the same?

icastle Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Lindisfarne are for life, not just xmas. I do know what you mean though, 10cc always remind me of Cambridge and I have absolutely no idea why as they came from Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 There are definitely certain artists who I am much more likely to listen to in Summer than Winter. It's not an intentional thing. It's more that warm weather reminds me of certain artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Is this a topic about Donna Summer, or Johnny Winter..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribbetingfrog Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I always find my Saint Ettienne album on the first day of spring and promptly lose it as soon as summer ends. Happens every year. Odd, but works well, very summery music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Yes, I tend to listen to ska and pop-punk a lot more in the summer - first sunny day of the year usually sees me breaking out the Sublime and Offspring records. Equally, whilst I listen to doom and black metal all year round, it makes a lot more sense in the winter.

Roger2611 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I only tend to play Simple Mind's "Someone, Somewhere in Summertime" in the summer as it doesn't feel right listening to it in the winter.....but I am not sure this contributes much to the conversation!

colgraff Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 For me Meat Loaf is summer, but that might be the California thing. Iron Maiden and New Model Army are winter, but that might be from sitting in my room listening to records over long winter nights as a youth.

Number6 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I find Ozric Tentacles is summer / festival music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I agree Tull are a winter band. I'd never thought of it, but even if you listen to them in Summer, they evoke a Wintery feeling. Solstice et all. As for the Beatles, they shouldn't be listened to at any time of the year, regardless of mood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
