What's the perfect soundtrack to hear as summer rolls in? You've told us, and we'll play your requests all weekend! 

Over Memorial Day weekend, we want to play the music that welcomes the warm, breezy, carefree days of summer. And between May 1 and 10, you had the chance to tell us what that music is.

The most requested was a tie between Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and Beethoven's 6th Symphony, with Strauss's Blue Danube Waltz and Vaughan Williams's The Lark Ascending a close second and third. The weekend is full of fantastic summery tunes, and we can't wait to share them with you. Listen through the holiday weekend to welcome the season!
