We hope you have enjoyed your summer, and Inside The Rock Era is doing our part with the Classic Summer Songs* series.
With a brief break in our succession of spectacular music specials this Summer and Fall, it's a good time to hand out a handy guide to the series. We didn't choose every song ever released in the summer; rather, the songs were selected because they were memorable songs released in the summertime.
If you've missed some, now would be a good time to catch up!
