If we stick to the Box's German roots, I supposed Wagner is the only way to go!

Two of my personal favorites, in addition to anything by Wagner, Mahler & Strauss (no waltzes, tho) are:
Kraftwerk (especially Europe Endless & Trans Europe Express) and
the Eurythmics' Love is a Stranger In An Open Car

I agree with Jeph and the others that ZZ Top should only be played if your Boxster is equipped with a gun rack.
That being said, my Ipod does have a playlist reserved for high-speed or top-up driving so that others are not subjected to trashy but good driving music like:
Hungry Like the wolf - Duran Duran
Journey - Separate Ways
Take Me Home Tonight - Eddie Money
If any of you guys like trance, I'd categorize the following as good to drive to:
The Beach - ATB
Communication - Armin Van Buuren
Delerium - The Silence - Paul Oakenfold
Tell Me Why - Paul Van Dyk
Ready, Steady, Go - Paul Oakenfold
or non-trance:
It's No Good - Depeche Mode
Gangsta Party - Tu-Pac, Snoop Dogg (when you're driving in the 'hood')
She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult (your stereo had better be good)
Thunderstruck - ACDC
Where the Streets Have No Name - U2
If I had to drive to one CD for the rest of my life it would be Tranceport , mixed by Paul Oakenfold

Gotta go with U2. My wife tried to bring a Madonna cd into the car...she was properly chastised and schooled on what will and will not be played in the car. Anybody go to the U2 Vertigo concert this year? Didn't think it was as good as the last one.

I saw U2 this year. I thought it was a good show. Haven't seen any other U2 shows but they sound great live, unlike... (ahem) Counting Crows who can't seem to hit the right notes when I've seen them. Additionally, Bono really inspires me to vote.

Who needs U-2 give me an ultralight
U-2 difficult plane to fly, great design by Kelly Johnson from Skunks work. Bono too full of himself with world politics an arena that he has no expertise. Nice to preach to forgive debt to 3rd world countries maybe he should sell his villas and jet plane for those countries.

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.

Need for Speed Soundtracks
The game soundtracks are a blast to listen. Underground 1 and 2 especially. However, they make you drive very very aggressive. So, beware...

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!

I remember reading these threads a couple of months ago...
The funny thing is, when I bought the Boxster, I loaded the CD of ZZ Top's Greatest Hits on my Ipod, even though I hadn't listened to the CD since college.
I was wondering to myself, what in the world is up with the correlation between ZZ Top and Porsche Boxsters  ?

Try:
James Dean by the Eagles. Especially if you have a silver Boxster.

In keeping with the Boxster's German roots I suggest Nihil, XTORT, and Symbols by German industrial giants KMFDM.
The following CDs get me to work at least 10 minutes faster:
Ministry - Psalm 69
Ministry - Houses of the Mole
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Metallica - ...And Justice for All
Megadeth - Capital Punishment
Fear Factory - Archetype
Pantera - 101 Proof Live
For laid back cruising with the top down I recommend Chimera by Delerium, Mezzanine or Protection by Massive Attack, or for a bit of an edgier listen Life In the So-Called Space Age by God Lives Underwater.
Lately I can't seem to take a CD wallet out of the house that doesn't contain at least two Tool CDs, currently I've go 10,000 days, Lateralus, and Aenima in the car.

For all you Chicagoans...check out Material Issue. Older band and the singer committed suicide, but good tunes nonetheless.

nice call rail.....very familiar....went to his death show at the metro...strong nod to Kraker again on the MCR...I don't love you may well be hands down one of the greatest songs period....
as for the rest of you......sigh......blink, come on ZZ Top! no way man....and Bruce with no Van Halen? I'm not a van halen fan at all but ain't talkin bout love is just a roaring song, can't take that away from them....
listen, I can feel confident giving advice on three subjects now, music, changing to clear side markers, and effectively burning out your clutch.....you guys want some help with the tunes just ask a brother....
for all the people dropping U2....great job....hands down the best band ever....JT Justified is a great record, Grizz, I'm getting you a copy
but lets everybody step far.....very far away from the likes of nickleback and creed  you owe it to yourselves
