Favourite driving music

Recommended Posts

My favourite CD to listen to with the windows rolled up, singing along at the top of my lungs, is Aerosmiths Greatest Hits. Ba-ee-bay bay you're my aaaaaaaaaaaaangel

 

You?

I like so many categories, but for driving, alternative rock or modern country, even some older country.

NICE!

Gotta have tunes going while driving

 

I find I have be careful what selections get listened to in the car as music can have a direct effect on my foot and it's distance to the floor of the car.

 

Generally Jack Johnson or Ben Harper to reduce murderous thoughts while i'm stuck in traffic.

 

Windows rolled up and singing without shame would have to be Elton John and Poison (or Reel Big Fish covering Poison)

 

An open Highway ahead of me or late at night tends to be Metal or Punk as the speed limit is much higher, or in the case of late night, less people are out.. Lately Gama Bomb, Municipal Waste, Pennywise and Good Riddance have been in heavy rotation.

 

Probably my favorite guilty pleasure that i'll listen to in pretty much any situation would be Open Road Song by Eve 6

Funny that you started this thread today Cleo.... I was driving home this morning at about one listening to The Chain by Fleetwood Mac off the remastered Rumours recording.

Dark backroads and I'm lucky enough to have a great surround sound in my truck. Pretty cool so i thought about what else would sound really good.

 

Depends on the mood though,

Bruce Springsteen's Thunder Road is a favourite

Dire Straits, Telegraph Road

A lady got me listening to Pink, Ave Mary A which sounds great driving too.

 

So many more to think about

Embarrassingly,

 

Def Leppard - the whole Hysteria cd

 

And I want (and I want)

And I need (and I need)

And I love (and I love)

Animal (animal)

 

or

 

Love me like a bomb

baby come on get it on

Livin' like a lover

With a radar phone

 

Lookin' like a tramp

Like a video vamp

Demolition woman

Can I be your man

 

or

 

When we make love

Do you look in the mirror?

Who do you think of?

Does he look like me?

 

 

Ok, if I'm not feeling like high school then Pretender by the Foos or Monster by Kanye

Either Dropkick Murphys "The Meanest of Times" or Foo Fighters "Wasting Light"

 

Both awesome albums. Typically I like to have a mix of stuff on. Also a HUGE Sinatra fan so when I want to roll the sleeves down on occasion Frank will help get me there.

Did anyone else used to painstakingly make mix tapes for their car?

 

Even as cd burning and mp3 players rose in popularity I still stuck by my old cassettes. God I miss the cassette deck in my old car, I'd probably still be making bloody tapes!

I am HUGE lover of independent Canadian music and have a playlist on CBCRadio3.

I have bought every song on it through iTunes.

When I go for long rides, I listen to all of them and at over 300 songs, it can take a while.

 

Otherwise, I listen to podcasts while driving the car.

Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Rolling Stones

 

Great song to kill 7 or so minutes of driving time

For my long rides I try to have the following CDs in the car

 

Jackson Browne - Running on Empty

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska and/or Born to Run

Steve Earle - Exit 0 and/or Guitar Town

Oh Susanna - Johnstown

Sarah Harmer - Songs for Clem and/or You were Here

Kathleen Edwards - Failer

Jimmy George - A month of Sundays (only the local Ottawa lads will remember these guys - Long live the Duke of Somerset !!)

 

Every one of these were an essential part of some memorable trip.

I also have some mixed discs (heck, a while back I'd do crossfades between the tunes with matching beats, à la DJ).

 

Some of my favorites (i.e.: those I can remember by name after all this time):

 

Massive / Utah Saints

Supermoves / Overseer

Fuel / Metallica

Spybreak / Properllerheads

The Chauffeur / Deftones

Chop Suey / System of a Down

I guess it sometimes depends on my mood or if I'm in stop and go city traffic. I sometimes listen to 80's Hairnation on the satellite but my all-time favourite highway driving song is Enter Sandman by Metallica. The downside is I tend to go way over the speed limit when it's playing!

Anything by White Zombie is DANGEROUS driving music! You find yourself doing freakin' ridiculous speeds without even realizing it! I used to get into tons of trouble driving while listening to them lol

 

A couple that spring to mind were

,
, and Electric Head Part 2
