Comment:

You’ve doused the coals with lighter fluid, donned your apron and whipped up a marinade so tasty that the moniker King of the Grills is yours for the taking. Before the whoosh that signifies ignition and lift-off, a thought materializes, a tendril wispy as the smoke soon to issue from your grill: where are the tunes? BBQ is not about the food alone — it’s a social experience, and it demands a playlist that can stand up to random chatter and a bottomless icebox of drinks. That’s why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to invite over a few special guests . . . like the Black Eyed Peas (priming your al fresco party with “I Gotta Feeling”), the Eagles (supplying the BBQ mantra with “Take It Easy”), and Bob Marley (packing plenty of sun-kissed Jamaican goodness into “Stir It Up”). Load up these Essentials, fire up the coals and you’re off and running.
