Thanks for your father-related suggestions, even if some of them brought me out in hives. On this topic, more than most, we'll have to agree to disagree. Mike & the Mechanics? Gah.
The problem with summer playlists is that they're invariably dominated by the usual suspects. It's as if the entire season is owned by a cartel consisting of the Lovin' Spoonful, the Beach Boys and Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. As cartels go, that's a pretty great one but in the interests of shunning the predictable, this week's theme is not summer but the sun. You can have anything that explicitly concerns sunshine, sunlight, sunrises, sunsets, etc. But not Sunday, or sunflowers, or Sunblest, the enduringly popular sliced loaf.
Deadline for recommendations is Monday 1pm. The archive of previous columns is accessible here, and you can also see an A-Z of every single song that has appeared in the weekly playlists.
