Thread: Driving music.

  1. #1

    Default Driving music.

    Recommend some good music to drive to. I can think of three general categories of music I find good driving music - late night stuff, pumped up morning stuff, and chill afternoon stuff.

    For pumped up morning stuff, I mean stuff like AC/DC - Highway to Hell and Jet - Get Me Outta Here are golden. So is Blackalicious - First in Flight. Guns 'n Roses - Sweet Child of Mine is a good transition.

    For late night stuff, I like Rob Dougan - Nothing at All, Pearl Jam - Light Years, even J Ralph - One Million Miles away. You get the idea.

    For afternoon chill stuff, this is where I have problems - My Two Friends - In The Fall is nice and chill, as is some tracks off the Moon Safari album by Air. But I don't have much in the way of this, I suppose.

    So, I'm asking you for good driving music. Feel free to pick from any genre.

    Bruckner symphonies are great for long interstate roadtrips. So is John Adams's opera <i>Nixon in China</i>.

    For jaunts around town recently I've liked Amon Tobin's <i>Supermodified</i>.

    I listen to a lot of orchestra, some soundstracks, and alternative rock in the car. These choices are likely in the minority compared to what everyone else listens to.

    I usually like playing anything from Lost Prophets and 3 Doors Down. Not any type of music that will make me wanna fall asleep while driving, though, heh.

    My cousin likes listening to the Initial D music. Personally, I'm a classical fan, so I generally tune into the classical stations. Another thing I enjoy is listening to the news, it makes me feel productive even while driving. Jazz is also good.

    In the morning time, <i>Rocky Mountain High</i> always wakes me up real good. During the evening, I prefer a song like <i>Wild Montana Skies</i> or something. Maybe <i>Shanghai Breezes</i>.

    I can't listen to music while I'm driving because otherwise I start listening too hard and forget to drive right and have a car crash and die.

    I don't drive yet, about a year and 27 days until I finally am able to, but it'd be anything I could like to sing to Billy Joel's Piano Man and stuff like that.

    Heehee I don't drive yet either; but my parents do good for them and when I'm riding in the car, the music I like listening to has to be upbeat and happie, if it's sunshiney. If it's raining, I like slow, sad piano music and stuff. ^_^ Anything goes.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    xD

    I listen to the radio when I drive mostly cause I don't have a CD player in my car. This will not change in the near future. However, given the choice, I always choose something fast I can sing a long to and not have to think about, because if I start thinking about it Meat Puppet happens. Lucky Boys Confusion is fun stuff to drive too, especially songs like Broken and Hey Driver (obvious), and classic rock stuff by Blue Oyster Cult and Bad Company. Some Metallica stuff is a lot of fun to drive to... but a lot of this depends on how you drive. >

    EDIT: Jerk smilies *shakes fist*

    Signature by rubah. I think.
