Driving Music

[Rail26]

cleaning the rear window...one of my favorite topics! I think we should repeat that on a regular basis.

Umm... "I'm thinking about buying a Boxster but I hear they have lots of problems... should I get one and what should I look for?"

Awesome, that was from the video game Gran Turismo (2, I think). A great one though (It's not bad to work out to too).

I think this topic is can be brought up again, as music and musical preferences are always changing... although the list above looks rather... dare I say, old school (ZZ TOP? [no offense]).

I'm 28, so my list may be different... I don't care for Techno music all that much, but when I'm driving... I can dig it. I try to time the stripes in the road to the uber-fast beats, yo.

Also, my list changes whether or not it's day or night, AND whether or not I've got the top down or the hard top on. Plus my current musical phases play a big part of it. Currently I enjoy Death Cab for Cutie (It's not as bad as it sounds), Newsboys, and The Killers.

How about Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car - Billy Ocean
Can't go wrong with that song!

Ooh, this is a good time to plug www.allofmp3.com. Does anyone here use this? I love it! Buy entire CDs for a little over a dollar! If ya pay for it, it MUST be legal, right?
(Thank you Mother Russia.)

I am only 18 and listen to ZZ Top and have been since I was 16. Great music can be enjoyed by all generations.

That it is true my brutha... but something about ZZ Top strikes me as very... un-Porsche-ish, if i may coin a new term.

Anything by:

Dire Straights

Bachman Turner Overdrive

Eagles

Beach Boys

Van Halen

I will think of more later.

To each his/her own...but I agree, something about ZZ Top and that old school rock coming out of a Porsche....ouch.

Now I am 38, and have actually seen ZZ Top live, but tend to gravitate towards the modern alternative stuff. I like to keep up with the times and enjoy the likes if Franz Ferdinand, Green Day, Death Cab For Cutie (folkish and quite mellow...you'd be surprised), Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, and the world's greatest rock and roll band of all time.............U2.

As a matter of fact, I just had a new Kenwood head unit and MB Quart system put in my '97 Boxster and am loving this new level of sound.

Next up...a new amp and perhaps a subwoofer! WOO HOO!

Any good music - I have pretty varied tastes, probably non-Porsch-ish, but here goes:

THE Boxster song for me: Green Day/Holiday. Always played before and after track.

Interstate/freeway music: All the way from Nat King Cole to Allison Krause & Union Station to Keith Urban to old REM stuff. Variety is good. Easy listening music helps me keep the speed down and avoid tickets. If I put on rock, the go pedal tends to go down farther.

ZZ Top is good, "Legs" is a old favorite and the video had the cool red car in it.

And a good bit of the time: Engine sounds only.

I am looking at getting an iRock FM transmitter for the MP3 player - only $40 so if it's static-y will post & let you know.

Jeph, that was a hell of a good recommendation on that Allofmp3 site. Gracias !

My only concern was that it seems like 50% of all evil on the Net comes from Soviet servers but the site seems pretty robust to be just a vehicle of bad intent. No problems so far with my comp, I guess that KGB spyware integrates seamlessly. Their music library is pretty insane, and has been able to meet even my most obscure searches. The prices are obviously great, but I'm sure they're making a mintload in rubles albeit a few pennies at a time.

Yeah, everyone I get to take the allofmp3.com plunge loves it... all you have to do is get over that Russian Mafia hurdle. And the KGB spyware integrates seamlessly on any platform!
