Song recommendations for songs that evoke a mood similar to "The Boys of Summer" by the Ataris?

Question

I need.
I'll be checking each and every recommendation, because I am trying to make a CD for my friend.
This is very different from the genre of music I normally listen to, so I'd appreciate it if you could help. Thanks.

Answer 1

Yellowcard - Ocean Ave
NOFX - Champs Elysees
Fall Out Boy - I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me
Rancid - Time Bomb, Ruby Soho

Answer 2

Boys of summer was originally sang by Don henley. Good song, i'd listen to some dashboard confessional,secondhand seranade,story of the year, ect. to get that mellow/lovey feel.
