What music is in your car cd/mp3/cassette player when you are driving?
We have at the minute an 80's collection and mr bones top gun and s.w.a.t soundtracks, which will be being lashed out of the window on the motorway as I cant stand em LOL lol
I just love my driving music and at the moment I have a mixed disc with Meatloaf (bat out of hell, ultimate driving sound), a couple of Bon Jovi tracks, Nirvana, and Guns and Roses, all in a mixed up order. Queen are also good driving music, and you can turn up the volume and sing along to your hearts content.
Although it can be worrying when parked up in traffic jam and you realise that the person parked by the side of you, is giving you rather funny looks cause you are doing the 'head banging' dance, last seen in Waynes World redface
I listen to a really really mixed bunch when I'm driving "short" distances. Aerosmith, Tracy Chapman, Bob Marley, Scissor Sisters, Dixie Chicks, Prince......the list goes on.
Really long distance drives however- such as the 12 hour stint back from the Alps at christmas, require Bob Seger and the silver bullet band.
"Turn the Page" and "Roll me Away" should be compulsory for any would be bikers too :thumbup:
Depends what mood I am in / and where I am driving.
But the one that springs to mind is the Road to Hell by Chris Rea when stuck on the M25!!
biggrin
Led Zepplin, Canned heat, Lynard Skynard, The Who, The Eagles, Uriah heap, ACDC, Judas Priest, Evanescance, Nazareth Oh a 'kin hundreds more in that vein. Saying that it ain't worth listening to unless its listened to LOUD!!
can passengers join in? redface
"The wheels on the car go round and round"
"Are we nearly there yet"
"I need a wee wee"
"stop fecking kicking my seat"
"the dogs sicked again"

Heart - Alone

I always have that one loud.. it's mandatory! :lol:
Autobahn by Kraftwerk ought to be okay. cool
My CD player is bust so I have the radio on.
Weeks back I was driving though driving rain up the M6 past Brum - it was so hard I could hardly see, spray everywhere, it was dark cos of the clouds etc. And on the radio came the Dieseree (sp?) from Verdi's Requiem - full choral, huge orchestra belting out like the day of judgement had arrived. FANTASTIC.
I still think the best ever music to drive to is the James Bond On her Majestys Secret Service soundtrack. Not all the tracks of course but a good handful make you the best (and coolest) driver on the road.
One thing I try to do when driving, to stay calm, is to call all the motorists going slower than me 'Morons' and all the cars going faster than me 'Idiots'. Works for me biggrin
picture the scene...
you're in your weapon of choice;
Mine, for the purpose of this fantasy... is once again a VW Split-Screen 1966 camper... rack on the roof (no pop-top on this journey).. the bus is slightly lowered.. in the back I'm running a Porche something-or-other.. the tank is full... the brakes are good. In the rear, below the furniture, the speakers are indeed very, very large.
The Bus was packed last night.
I'm rested. It's dawn.. the roads are quiet, very quiet. It's the beginning of an early summer day.
And I've had my coffee.
On the entry road to the Motorway I see clear lanes... not another vehicle in sight. The windows are down and fresh crisp air is flowing in... a slight mist still clings to the lowland and birdsong is sharp, clear... new.
Speed is picking-up as I straighten the Bus into the middle lane of empty carriage-way.
I click and continue to build speed as the jangly bit goes to work on my excitement at the journey ahead... when the intro finishes (and you'll know the point I mean... I hit some form of 'overdrive' and the road vanishes beneath me.
I'm driving into the sun

I gotta say if u can get a nice clean best of chuck berry its a wonderful driving vibe. Wtach out tho cos a lot of the compilations are thin.
At the mo I like the foofighters while I'm driving to work and loud ! lol
It just seems sometimes that people look so miserable driving in the morning and there I am singing away and jiggerling me bod..........I must look like a right ol fruit cake :giggle:
I think for me, its different music for different roads and moods,but if I were to pick one, purely for clear country roads, then it would have to be Race with Devil On Spanish Highway, by Al Dimeloa, it gets me going every time.
Depends on my mood ...for longer Journeys I may have queens greatest hits triple CD ...not a bad song on it.
Shorter journeys maybe REM or the lovely Leona ...
I also did myself a compilation cd from 70's 80's with Al Green, Commodores, Marvin Gaye, Bob Seger , Billy Paul(or was it preston) n Syreta, Chi Lites as just a few to mention ...Played that one so much its worn out now.
Like Mrs FC I can't help singing me heart out and having a mini bum bop in the seat. redface
Dearest Member's,
My top all time Two L.P's to listen whilst Driving at night are....

I don't drive but when am in my friend's Car we just play this & ride out real smooth.
