best Boxster cruising music? (subjective)
 

OBVIOUSLY, the answer to BEST CAR MUSIC is completely personal, but what SONG or GENRE comes to mind with you think about your Boxster? And what do you play the MOST while driving? MUSIC ONLY, don't say "talk radio".

For no logical reason, I keep hearing TOM SAWYER by Rush - and I am not even a fan, but it will be the first song I crank up when I pick it up my new ride tomorrow.

Otherwise, mostly instrumental will be wafting out: Atmospheric Breaks (causes speeding and tickets, not recommended but I like it), the basics of Classic Jazz, Trance, Chillwave or Downtempo, Sade, Nickleback, and more!

What about you?

My Boxster is pushing just over 1000 watts..... sooo

I am 90's rock/grunge guy. STP, Soundgarden, NIN, Alice in Chains... plus the local alt radio station.

Now.... when I am at the base of the twisties, or strapping on my helmet for Autocross...... Metallica all the way. :cheers:

I Can’t Drive 55 by Sammy Haggar! Or ZZ Top.

anything by Little Feat.

The exhaust note......

Simon & Garfunkel...The Boxer!.

Im not sure if my radio works.... that's not what i listen to.... hahaha

if you are into jazz as well as more thoughtful electronic music, check out what is happening with modern jazz these days ...

gogo penguin
a.d.h.d.
badbadnotgood
christian scott

and if you really want to slow it down, check out the soundtrack work by jonny greenwood, cliff martinez, mica levi.

if you like rush (ie, 'prog') and jazz, check out the interface of the two - early fusion - atlantis by mccoy tyner, gateway by dave holland, and of course bright sized life. and the best modern prog i've heard recently is the album reflections of a floating world by elder.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
When I listen to AC/DC,
My neighbors do too.

Highway to Hell :cheers:
:D

Marshall Tucker,. CCR and the stones

...wow you guys can actually hear your sound system??

upgrades?

Sirius XM Fly Channel 47

We seem to have similar musical tastes..... I saw 'GoGo Penguin' at a small venue during the Jazz Fest last summer. Simply amazing. Another act in that genre is 'Fox Capture Plan' If you are really into Prog/Jazz/Fusion check out 'Ambient Jazz Ensemble' or 'Dean Watson'. For a harder edge and real virtuosity listen to anything by 'Tribal Tech' from the 90's through the 00's. And for a jazz/rock guitar send up pick up Lee Ritenour's 'Six String Theory' with Slash, Lee, Neal Schon, George Benson, Keb Mo and others. It is a superb album to drive to.

Cool Variety here! :D And I have some new music to hunt down.

After posting, I pondered how I always shut off all in-game music in racing video games, so betting I will do some of that in the Boxster also. I DO love the sound of the motor working with the shifting and all that.

Pink Floyd

Wide Spread Panic

Tom Sawyer is a magical, time changing song.

+1
A hearty Amen to that! Especially if it's Lowell George-vintage LF! :dance:

:D Yeah! I don't know why it seemed to fit, but I drove it off the lot with Rush screaming. It was almost magical! it's off to a grand start!

Meatloaf -- Bat Out Of Hell

PERFECT!! :cheers:

What cunningr said

I have learned about some new music in this thread, thanks!
In no particular order: Radiohead, 1970's Roots Reggae, Dub music from the same time period, The Clash, Grateful Dead, Early Queen <"Night at The Opera", The Orb, Pink Floyd, Arctic Monkeys, Miles Davis, Florence & The Machine, Hendrix, The Libertines, Little Feat (50 years strong!), Silversun Pickups....YMMV....

Great stuff! Thanks!!!!

This thread is interesting, but it's almost like asking, "What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?"

alright, for a complete derail. if you are liking the christian scott et al, check out makaya mccraven for more of the same. for some real ambient noise, anything by tim hecker is good. for slow with vocals and a side of odd (ie, micheal buble after a night of cough syrup and tequila) try the album 'bleu jane' by julien sagot (sorry, gotta get my canadian content in). and if you like that then anything by damien jurado is good if a bit more contempary. and boards of canada hey; dayvan cowboy that video!!!

rob, of the black clothes and greying hair ilk, check out the album 'atomic subsonic' by dubmatix for a ranking canadian selektor. if you want bass that will reverberate so deep into space and time that your neighbours will hate you years before they move next door to you, check out the bug, specifically this thing:

thanks. i spent some well earned friday night me time working my way through your selections. i heard a thing on cbc the other night that i have yet to explore; apparently prince's last guitarist is from toronto and just put out a solo album that is 'fusiony' and very influenced by ********************es brew; donna grantis i think? the few tracks they played on the radio sounded proper.

That's easy, Maple Walnut!

Awesome Radium King, thank you! Good call.

Quite a surprising album by Donna Grantis, beautiful guitar work ....... some moody ambient jazz...... and then some searing guitar solo work with her dualling Mike McCready, Pearl Jams guitarist. She grew up in Mississauga around the corner from where I lived in the late '80's. Takes Jazz Fusion on a new path.

A great thread......keeping my ears (and wallet) open....keep 'em coming...all genres...or is it all 1 genre?....some great new (to me, at least) finds.....

Duh...Life is a Highway, Rascal Flatts, no contest. Second Place, Free Ride, Edgar Winter. Both with the flat six singing harmony at, oh, about 5,000 RPM.

just looking for patterns in the chaos. :D

Tunes
 

Jeff Beck is always good, and lately for some reason I have been on a Collective Soul kick.

Beck has been one of my guitar heroes since the '60's Check out his performance at Ronnie Scot's Live in 2007. Brilliant. Collective Soul is a very underrated band who deserve more recognition for the great music they put out in the late 90's early 00's. They are still touring, I saw them at a venue here in Winnipeg a couple of years ago.

built in unit only plays CDs, not MP3, so......http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1553885357.jpg
