California Songs - Episode 116

What music makes you feel like summer? Tunesmate created a list of the greatest summer songs a while back, but could one state capture the ultimate summer soundtrack? Join Ray and Marc as they count down the top songs about California. These are tracks that transport you to sunny beaches, warm ocean breezes, and endless road trips. What defines the California sound? Is it the surf harmonies of the Beach Boys? The funky rock of the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Or perhaps the psychedelic sounds of The Doors and the Grateful Dead? Maybe it's the folk-pop of The Mamas & the Papas and The Byrds, or the country rock of the Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). Or is the true California sound found in the groundbreaking West Coast hip-hop of Tupac Shakur and Dr. Dre? Check out the episode to discover which California anthem takes the top spot.
