Favourite driving music

Recommended Posts

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

I'm like that with SLAYER. My best friend won't let me put them on when I drive.

Chris Isaak - 'Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing'

 

Rolling Stones - 'Emotional Rescue'

 

There are heights you can reach in your car as though you were at karaoke one glass of wine too many!

I'm a huge fan of 80's music while driving - especially anything in the hairband category.

 

But, I think my favourite driving song might be Running Down a Dream by Tom Petty

Thinking of Michael today as it would have been his birthday, and gotta say - The Jackson 5 is some of my favourite music to drive to in the morning - I dare you to not wake up and sing along!

This thread got me to look at the other discs I had in the car.

Aside from some various mixes, I re-discovered the disc with the Grand Theft Auto Vice City radio stations (complete with fake slumbers, fake ads, and fake talk shows).

 

Really weird to drive in real life to tunes associated with driving in a video game.

Slightly overplayed but always a fun driving song is Black Sabbath-Paranoid

 

Also,

and Alice Cooper - Run Down The Devil and

 

Oh! And

(fuck it....anything by Motörhead is excellent driving music lol)

 

 

Goddamn this thread reaaaaaaally makes me want to go out and get my license back!! (with this kind of soundtrack I probably wouldn't keep it for long though lol) :D

It usually depends on my mood but one that never gets old is Steve Miller!

It always reminds me of the road trip I took with some good friends of mine to Kennebunkport in Maine.

 

Happy memories! :)

I have notice that the type of music depends greatly on the type of road that is being traveled. Many of the recommendations are great for big highways.

 

Way back in my previous life I did a lot of driving to New Brunswick. Many times I took a short cut through Maine as the construction was so bad along the Trans Canada (or TCH for the newfies here) in NB at the time.

 

I buddy lent me a mix tape (yes it was that long ago LOL) of bluegrass tunes. In the rolling Appalachian mountains along the border of Maine and NB the music just felt right and I felt I could drive for days.

 

Later on for work a crew of us had to drive down to Alabama. When it was my turn to drive we were taking a short-cut through Blue Ridge mountains. I loaded up my mix tape of bluegrass and we on our way. Most of the guys were metal heads but they all thought this was the best damn music for driving in the mountains. AC/DC, Slayer, etc were best left to when we got back on the interstates.
