Genesis. Lots of early Genesis.

Boxsters have radios and CD players?:D

KRAM36 02-15-2015 07:09 AM

Normal driving my radio stays on 98.9 The Rock here in Kansas City, but when I'm hitting my favorite twisties, radio goes off.

"Sand dance" by temples

"Into the void" by nine inch nails (you have to have some period music!)

Angel - shaggy (period music)

I grew up with computers, circuit bending and any thing with heavy synth, so anything like:

edIT
Jega
Infected Mushroom
Glitch Mob
Boreta
Kraddy
Mochipet
Matty G
Ooah

I know I'm strange

Xpit77 02-16-2015 08:39 AM

Top down Afro-Latino rock.

ルーカス 02-16-2015 09:39 AM

Hmm the best song to blare is the flat 6 behind me.. It goes something like brraaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPP BRAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPP. :D

BoxsterSteve 02-16-2015 10:02 AM

Nothing quite like 70's hard rock
 
Anything like this for cruising around, although the flat 6 symphony rocks it out really nice in the twisties.

Machine Head by DEEP PURPLE!!

Giller 02-17-2015 12:55 PM

Let the 80's role IMO. A little Bryan Adams Summer of 69 followed by some Huey Lewis. Anything harder seems to make the car go too fast - those songs seem to sing nicely within legal speed limits!

Coffinhunter 02-17-2015 01:30 PM

With the top up/commuting, I end up listening to podcasts.

Top down is another story all together....

Oingo Boingo
Offspring
Police
Beatles
The Clash
Guns and Roses
Nine Inch Nails
Led Zepplin
Beach Boys
The Cure
Just about anything "alternative" from the 80's

Paul 02-17-2015 06:04 PM

Frankenstein, Edgar Winter Group.

luckyed7711 02-17-2015 07:43 PM

Haven't had my car for that long. But, so far it's "Johnny Guitar", From Johnny Winter's "Hey, Where's Your Brother?" album. Tends to make you pick up speed.

Retroman1969 02-17-2015 08:30 PM

On the rare occasion I want to listen to music in a Boxster, I have a few depending on my mood:

Get It To Go (Maynard Ferguson)
I'm Gonna Live Til I Die (Frank Sinatra version)
William Tell Overture (Gioachino Rossini)
Clutch (The Seatbelts)
Tunak Tunak Tun (Daler Mehndi)
Guitar Boogie (Tommy Emmanuel)
Midnight Blue (Kenny Burrell)
LaGrange (ZZ Top)
Take Your Love And Shove It Up Your Big Fat Ass! (Joe Pesci)

Fintro11 02-17-2015 08:36 PM

I either end up tuning out the music or have nothing but the engine revs :)

fishski 02-18-2015 01:17 PM

Boys of Summer by Don Henley...

I listen to a lot of the same stuff. 80s alt rock is my fav. Lately I've been listening to the New Order station I created on Pandora, but I also listen to 1st wave on XM a lot. Takes me back to growing up in Los Angeles and listening to KROQ.

Too funny. I worked at KROQ in the late 80's early 90's. Grew up in Orange County and it was always KROQ or 91X

Kinda cool. Both KROQ and KROQ HD2 stream through my iPhone. I find myself listening to them both in the Boxster just for nostalgia every now and then.

When I work in my garage, which up until recently is quite a bit, it's always streaming KROQ. I've built quite a few air cooled VW engines with KROQ as the soundtrack. Just wish they'd stop playing the God awful Chili Peppers so often. I get it. They're an LA based band. Doesn't make them any less played out.

Love a deadhead sticker on a Porsche! Years ago I had a jet black Toyota Celica GT. I have Dead banner sticker across the rear window. Long story short I got stopped in the middle of nowhere in the Everglades crossing the Tamiami Trail at night by a cop that was sure I had drugs in the car. I gave permission for a search of my car because I had nothing to hide and 2 hours later I was able to leave. My first experience with profiling.

ugatha 02-23-2015 09:18 AM

Top up - Eagles and Bob Seger.

Top down - me and the car are singing our own music.

I think this thread needs a resurrection.

Also this is my favorite song to listen to when sitting in the car with it off before leaving, particularly on cloudy mornings.
