Driving music
 

What do you listen to or suggest?

I like a wide variety of music and I'd like to compile a playlist from your suggestions

One of my go to songs is by Michael Lington: "You and I"

Some Monty Montgomery.

Let's hear it. :D

Andy Gibb's greatest hits is a must !!

First thing I listened to whenever I bought a German car was Autobahn by Kraftwerk.

Kraftwerk Autobahn full - YouTube

After the headers and Dansk I liked to listen to the engine. However, almost any cut off of Kansas Song for America side 1.
OR if you need some speeding points and an ass chew try: (partial list)

Rush Distant Early Warning

Mellencamp Love & Happiness

Unchained Van Halen

Cracker Low

Almost any Government Mule song

And if obscure is your taste try Umm & Arrgh Anthony Phillips

I think he's way too young to remember this college tune but here ya go Jonny, this is your theme song, give a careful listen!!

Danger Money - UK - YouTube

Deep Purple, Highway Star.
Yup, I'm that old.
One of the best guitar riffs ever too.

There's a techno tune from this Michael Mann (love his stuff) movie with Tom Cruise playing a very un-like Tom Cruise character (anti-hero/villian) that is very Bad-A$$. Collateral I think its called. There's this very violent night-club scene. Crowded dance floor with this tune called Ready Steady Go by Paul Oakenfold. Check it out:

Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady Go (Korean Style) - YouTube :dance:

Miles Davis. Springville - Miles Davis - YouTube

For some reason this Tears for Fears tune is something I love listening to with the top down on a nice scenic road maybe by the ocean:

Tears For Fears - "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" - ORIGINAL VIDEO - YouTube

If you're alone and in a retrospective mood. Nothing beats this Van Morrison
tune Van Morrison- Philosopher's Stone - YouTube

The Dark Knight Theme is haunting, intense The Dark Knight - End Credits Music (HQ) - YouTube

Hendrix, cuz its just bad a$$: All Along the Watchtower - The Jimi Hendrix Experience - YouTube

And if you've got a lady friend with you ? Try this. Chicks dig this tune: Get Here (Oleta Adams) - YouTube

For top down hot summer night downtown cruising : UB40 24/7 -I Shot the Sheriff - EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED BY WWW.REGGAE-RECORDS.CO.UK - YouTube :dance:

That all Me got Mon :D

Thats's really bad !

Michael Jackson bad or truly bad? It wasn't for the tune dude it was for the "secret agent" content. Besides, John Whetton is a good musician, cheer up maybe someone will make a hip hop remix so you can relate.

Bluegrass, baby!

The Porsche is the only car I have ever had that I seldom, if ever turn on the radio. I thought about upgrading it, even added a iphone connection and still don't use it. I'd rather hear the engine.

How 'bout that...I thought I was the only one. I've been turning down JD Crowe at the traffic lights so people didn't know.

I should have gone with my original title that included ".....besides the engine"

:)

Lanrovered is right ! Do it all the time. Bliss.

Scorpions
Disturbed
Metallica
Nickelback
And the Bee Gees Greatest Hits :)

Love JD Crowe. A good rule of life is whenever there's a problem, add a little more banjo.

I agree here. No radio for me. The different "tracks" I like are just different RPM ranges. Love the sound of the engine. :)

Bob Seger!

Lately Grateful Dead, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan...

I have the Bose option, and "Porn Star Dancing" by My Darkest Days sounds intoxicating. Hinder, Three Days Grace, Seether, Theory of a Deadman and Saving Abel all will make you feel alive and want to break the sound barrier in your car.

Anything by Volbeat.

1: Engine/Exhaust/Intake
2: ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man

4: Didn't know anyone else knew of Monte Montgomery, insane acoustic guitar!

Currently: Killswitch Engage / Marco Sfogli

Any Santana, Wild Innocent and E Street Shuffle, NGDB Circle Album

I'm ashamed to admit that before I got my iPod interface installed my favorite CD to cruise to - top down - was Bruce Willis' Bruno album. Post iPod interface my favorites are Cake and Streetlight Manifesto. :)

Everytime I get a new ride, the first song I play is YES: Relayer. Been doing it since 1980. Other cool tunes:
Grateful Dead: Cassidy
The Outlaws: Holiday
Tool: Vicarious
Motley Crue: Wild Side

I like to hear some laid back tunes also so Buffet, Mathews and TSO. I like the fact that it is simple, easy going maybe it helps keep me a little under control.

Good songs that i recommend to driving relaxed to are:

Every Little Beat, Above and Beyond ft. Richard Bedford
Even If, Calibre

but I personally like songs with out lyrics because it lets me imagine what ever I want

Campfire, Dinka
Miracle, Blackmill or any song by Blackmill
String Theory, Apex

So ya I don't know if you'll like any of them and Im sorry if im throwing out names that not many people have heard of.

Blue Car, by Greg Brown. Also pretty much anything by John Prine, Lucinda Wiliams, or John Hiatt. When I want to crank it up, The Rolling Stones are my go to band.

Favorite song for the ages, the guy just passed away, here's to you Ronnie.

Every 13 yr old boy was a Toni Tennille kind of guy in the early 70's. :D

Thirty something years ago I remember driving down the freeway at night in my
'67 Camero convertible. It was a warm summer night, I had the top up but all the windows open and was listening to deep Purple "Machine head " when the
8-track ate the tape. It was the third tape that week that got eaten. I was so mad
I ripped the tape out of the deck and threw it out the window.
It was dark and I was doing about 60 MPH a few minutes later after I cooled off
I noticed I had this tape strung across my chest , the tape was still stuck in the deck and had unwound and the tape case was bouncing along about fifty feet
behind the car. Must have looked funny to the car following me.

I sure don't miss 8 tracks.
