Comment:

The R&B and hip-hop worlds aren't the only ones known for their summer jams. The alternative nation has had their fair share of sunny day anthems. As summer begins, iTunes looks at some of the alt-rockers who have found inspiration in these months. Kick things off with the Atari's updated take on the Don Henley favorite, "Boys of Summer," and stick around for Pavement's disjointed ode to a "Summer Babe."
