I’ve also created a Spotify playlist at the bottom of this post that includes every album, in this specific order-which I’ve listed roughly from super chill to most energetic.

I’ve included links to Amazon since it’s the easiest, and a lot of these are included with Prime Music if you have that.

You should be able to find these pretty much anywhere, wherever you normally get your music. It’s pretty eclectic and spans several different genres, but definitely leans a little more into the folk, alt-pop, alt-rock, indie rock, and similar areas. And if you’re looking for rap and hip hop or tons of country, this probably isn’t the list for you. No Beach Boys, no songs with “ocean” in the title. Planning a beach or pool vacation? I’ve got you covered with Everything You Need to Pack for a Chill Beach Vacay and My Favorite Summer Beach & Pool Readsįair warning: this isn’t a beach music “theme” list. A perfect auditory mood complement to sun on your skin, sand in your toes, and the distant crash of waves. This isn’t necessarily my ultimate beach music playlist (memo to self: make that), but rather a selection of albums that-when listened to in their entirety-will enhance your beach or pool time. But there’s something particularly impressive when an artist can craft 10 or 12 songs that are individually great, but when listened to in a certain order feel like an *experience*.Īnd a few days at the beach (or pool) provide the perfect opportunity for uninterrupted listening. In today’s world of hit singles, curated playlists, and remixes, it feels like nobody ever listens to an entire album from start to finish anymore.
