A selection of songs that would have been on popular music radio in the 70s, 80s and 90s. This is the basic format of existing "oldies" stations such as Greatest Hits and Gold Radio, but with the added bonus of getting a playlist that changes with the seasons (and without DJ chatter!).

The Ultimate Summer Playlist

Summer is here, and what better way to celebrate than with a playlist that's guaranteed to get you in the mood for sun-kissed days and warm, balmy nights? This playlist is a journey through the decades, featuring a diverse range of tracks that are sure to get you singing along.

We're kicking off with some classic summer vibes from the 70s, with Vincent by Don McLean and Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep by Middle Of The Road setting the tone. The 80s bring us iconic tracks like Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood and You'll Never Walk Alone by The Crowd, a stirring anthem that's sure to give you goosebumps.

As we move into the 90s, the playlist gets even more eclectic, with hits like Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! by Vengaboys and I Wanna Sex You Up by Color Me Badd getting the party started. We're also treated to some soulful sounds from the likes of Being With You by Smokey Robinson and Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart.

The 2000s bring us a fresh wave of talent, with Beautiful Stranger by Madonna and It Feels So Good by Sonique showcasing their unique styles. Throughout the playlist, you'll also discover some unexpected gems, like The Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim and Porcelain by Moby.

One of the joys of this playlist is its ability to transport you back to a particular time and place. Whether you're a fan of 70s rock, 80s pop, or 90s R&B, there's something here for everyone. So go ahead, press play, and let the music take you on a journey through the seasons.

As the playlist winds down, we're left with a sense of nostalgia and a newfound appreciation for the power of music to bring us together. With its diverse range of tracks and timeless appeal, this playlist is the perfect companion for any summer gathering or lazy afternoon in the sun.
