Does anyone play certain songs at certain times of the year?

Christmas aside, does anyone out there like to play certain songs or
albums at certain times of the year?

For example, I will only play the Cocteau Twins album "Victorialand" in
the wintertime. Kind of a tradition thing.

I usually break out the ska during the summer and the whole two days of sunshine we get here.

I always dig the Specials - "Ghost Town". One of my faves!

Swedish pop group Gyllene tider shall definatley be listened to in summertime. Many songs are about summer.

I also break out some ska in the summertime. Dave Matthews is also good summer music. I tend to listen to edgier stuff in the winter.

I find myself putting on Type O Negative's October Rust album during the autumn season. Also, about 10 years ago, I got Metallica's Reload for Christmas, so once in a while I'll put on some songs from that album during the holidays up until February.

I always accompany my 4th of July explosions with "Mighty Wings" from the Top Gun soundtrack.

Before moving to Dallas from Houston, I always had trip music (on cassette) to play along the way to Dallas along I-45 & other highwys.

I-45
CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU: Heard this on the radio twice going into Conroe. So it's been tradition to play that Frankie Valli tune.

MMMBOP: When nearing Huntsville, we always pass by the Sam Houston statue to that Hanson tune.

FINGERPRINTS: Scott Baio tune played @ Huntsville in honor of the Texas state prison. A cop has to get a prisoner's fingerprints.

YOU CAN'T ROLLERSKATE IN A BUFFALO HERD: Roger Miller tune going into the small town of Buffalo, TX (LOL).

TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS: Mary MacGregor song played when reaching Corsicana, TX.

There are other songs I'd like to list, but it's too long.

My sister and I usually pull out the original cast recording of The Phantom of the Opera around Christmas...I got the cassette for Christmas one year so we always try to make it a point to listen to it at least once during the Christmas season.

I also enjoy the tradition of playing I Smell Winter by The Housemartins during the first snowfall. It's a little thing Ram Bam introduced me to when we started dating

That's a great idea for another thread - Tunes you like to play whilst
on certain highways. I don't want to go too off topic, but I love
listening to Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence while on the 401 going
into Toronto, Ontario (That's the first time I heard that song on the radio).

Sorry I misunderstood the topic.

Usually, I would play a CD to honor someone's birthday. For example.

JANUARY 23; Tony Lucca, APRIL 20; Joey Lawrence, JUNE 13; Jamie Walters, etc.
