The summer season is notorious for producing great music that will define the memories of cookouts, shore time and road trips for the rest of the year. We here at Campus Philly put our heads together and came up with 20 songs that best represented our summer this year.

Some songs have survived from the start of vacation (May for college kids) and some have been overplayed to the point of brainwashing. You will notice that a few songs did not come out in 2009, but represent some of the biggest tours of the summer. While a handful of these artists may not be known to you, one will stand out to you as a man whose songs will never be removed from the shuffle.
