The 2009 instrumental surf tunes of the year as voted by you!

Each month, just for the fun of it, we’ve been doing a quick post identifying which tune has been the most popular over the preceding month. With a few tie breaking considerations, the winning tune has been determined primarily from the number of thumb’s up votes received… which is why we say, “If you like the tune, give it a thumb’s up vote in your Live365 player window.” This has worked out well since we started the station last December and should do so in the future.

Here’s the list, by tune, album and band, of those winners over this past year…

12/08 Shark Breath from Time Surfin’ by The Breakaways

1/09 Bolero For a King from Coming Up For Air by The Surf Kings

2/09 Bombay Highway, Part II from Shark Attack!!! by The Surf Lords

3/09 Titus from Gun Sho Gun by Secret Samurai

4/09 Prima Vara from Headin’ Out by The Vara-Tones

5/09 Lil’ Waquin from Warning: Heavy Surf Advisory by The Concaves

6/09 Two Angels from Eleki! by The Mach IV

7/09 Back Home from Guitars In Orbit by Los Twang! Marvels

8/09 Another Time, Another Place from Locked & Loaded by The Penetrators

9/09 Saucers In the Sunset from Surf vs. the Flying Saucers by The Urban Surf Kings

10/09 Mimi’s Theme from Fathom This! by The Fathoms

11/09 Catharsis from Las Excentricas Aventuras Del Profesor Volcanova by The Kilaueas

There you have it! Twelve tracks from the best surf music compilation CD never produced. This list reflects the true appreciation by our listening audience for some really fine music and a no-prize nod to the bands that they have done well.

Our thanks and congratulations go out to everyone involved! Happy Holidays!
