That's a purdy good stab at it, Michael and I think the rest of us should make
suggestions. It needs Squad Car and Mr. Rebel. There are a few on there that are
beyond the core. Blue Surf, Blunderbus, Chiflado may be great tunes but I've
rarely heard anyone do those tunes. I only know of the Challengers version of
Chiflado and the Rhythm Kings version of Blue Surf. I've never heard Blunderbus.

What do you think the "core" surf repertoire is-beyond Wipeout,
ipeline, and Walk, Don't Run? I really want stuff that is
recognizable by the non-musicians I'm playing for.
Thanks, Michael

Last Date

Endless Summer
Journey to the Stars
James Bond
Tidal Wave
The Hearse
Chiflado
Kamikaze
All these songs were either covered at leat 2 or 3 times
by "original" (early 60's) surf bands or were included because of
probable familiarity to audience (ex.: Shut Down II by the Beach
Boys was on an album that sold a zillion copies) If I remember
correctly I also left out certain covers that kept coming up like
Louie Louie, What I Say, because they weren't surfish and I left off
Batman (even if Link Wray did it) just because.
Also on the basis of being played often on "surf radio" stations and
on discusions in this group. I would offer the following totally
tentative short list of "modern classics:"
Killer Dana
Having an Average Weekend
Polaris
Calhoun Surf
Solaris Stomp
Storm Dancer
Tailspin
University Ave
Good Luck,
Dave
