Your Driving Songs

[Heraclid]

Just wondering what you all like to listen to in your VX. I know this has been discussed before, but it's been a long time since the subject has come up. I just burned a new CD for cruising in the VX, and her's my own eclectic mix...

Start Me Up - The Rolling Stones
Hell On Wheels - Fu Manchu
Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf
My Wheels - Field Mob
Fast Cars, Fast Women - Craig David
Mud On The Tires - Brad Paisley
Pedal To The Metal - Kazzer
Eatin' Dust - Fu Manchu
I Can't Drive 55 - Sammy Hagar
Wheels Of Fire - Judas Priest
You Win My Love - Shania Twain
Hot Wheels - Jim Crow
Need For Speed - Petey Pablo
Drive It Like I Stole It - Apathy
Rollin' - Limp Bizkit
Wheels Of Fire - Man O' War
Take It Away - The Used
Four Wheel Drive - John Michael Montgomery
Driving My Life Away - Eddie Rabbitt
Ride Like The Wind - Christopher Cross

[WormGod]

#1 has to be Southbound Pachyderm by Primus. That song just gets me going and lets everyone around me know that I am a force to be reckoned with. ;)

Then, my fun jam tune is Windowlicker by Aphex Twin.

Having my pretty beefy system allows me to be a complete nuisance if I feel the need.

Oh, and if I am REALLY in a mood, I get a little weird on people. I will pop in some Afro Celt Sound System. ANYTHING by them. Just imagine Celtic/World Drum and Bass.... ya, weird, but awesome.

[etlsport]

i know this is an old post... but with nice weather coming id love to see some more songs on here for good music while crusin down the road with the windows down... a few of my fav driving songs (in no particular order)...

Guns n Roses - paraside city
Ra - do you call my name
ozzy osbourne - hellraiser
soundgarden - outshined
audioslave - set it off
styles of beyond - nine thou (superstars remix)
DMX - ruff ryders anthem
dope - debonair
finger eleven - stay in shadow
metallica - wherever i may roam
motley crew - dr feelgood
saliva- superstar

and thousands more..

im a firm believer in sharing music if anyone wants any of these songs

[WyldWeasel]

Hey WormGod, if you like Afro-Celtic music, check out a band called Brother. They are Scottish by way of Australia and have some awesome Celtic Rock with Digeridoo's and stuff.

Brother Music (http://www.brothermusic.com/)

[Anita]

Gnarls Barkley
She Wants Revenge
Kanye West
Mozart Requiem
Elly Ameling - Schubert Songs

eclectic, huh

[mbeach]

If I were to limit "driving" music to songs that explicitly mention driving a vehicle, I'd have to say that my favorites are:
-Radar Love = Golden Earring
-Asleep at the Wheel = The Bloodhound Gang
-Hit and Run Holiday = The Thrill Kill Kult
-Jesus Built My Hotrod = Ministry
-40 Miles to Vegas = Southern Culture on the Skids

...and some more that escape me at the moment. I really should sit down with the collection and burn a real driving CD.

[biju]

according to my ipod here are the top 10 most (randomly) played songs in the VX... so I guess by default they're my current 'driving songs'...

Sigur Ros: Untitled #8
Beck: Girl
Young Jeezy: Gangsta Music
The Wrens: This Boy Is Exhausted
At the Drive-In: One Armed Scissor
Band of Horses: The Funeral
Slim Thug: Already Platinum
Built to Spill: Car
Nirvana: Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
Radiohead: There There

[darkl4805]

I flew to Denver yesterday to pick up my 01 VX and drive it back to Park City, UT... Altogether right under 500 miles. My music line up was by album, not individual song because I had 7 or so hours of driving.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Billy Idol - Best Hits
Nightwish - Wishmaster & Once
Lacuna Coil - All 4 albums (first time listening to Karmacode and it rocked!)
Kidney Thieves - Trickstereprocess and some of Zer0space
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
Nirvana - Nevermind & In Utero
Tool - First 4 albums
Theatre of Tragedy - Aegis

I'd have to say the Black Sabbath, David Bowie, and Nightwish were the best albums for the ride.

[etlsport]

looking through these lists, ive played most of these songs in my VX... gotta love how similar us VXers can be

[E-ZooZoo One]

... gotta love how similar us VXers can be
So, is it just me, or has anyone else ever had their CD changer loaded full of Tom Waits?

I need an in-dash mp3 player, that's way too many discs...

[Tobert]

For driving (other tasks require different music):

3.5L Isuzu V-6 coupled with a TOD 4L30E transmission.

I just like to listen to my engine most days. I've saved my own *** more times than I can count by hearing changes in road conditions or engine performance.

But when I'm out for something to keep me awake:

Carl Orff: Carmina Burana
Gustav Mahler: 5th symphony (Chicago w/ Solti) ... Mahler 5 rules for destroying sound systems (quiet, quiet, quiet .... fff full orchestra)
JS Bach: anything .. fugues RULE!
Metallica: Ride the Lightning (their finest work IMO)
Brian Setzer: Jump Jive and Wail
Rammstein: Rammstein
Mortal Kombat soundtrack
The Matrix soundtrack
Nobuo Uematsu: Final Fantasy 1-11 soundtracks
NPR - whatever's on ... starting to have too many commercials (stupid sponsor announcements and fund drives amount to commercials without the cheese)

Also, whatever else I grab on the way out of the house ... a lot of stuff I like I don't even have on CD, especially Jazz and orchestral music. XM radio is looking awful attractive.

So, in order my genres are: automobile sounds, orchestra/classical, trombone misc., Jazz, heavy metal.

I listen mainly to various electronica and game music stations on Shoutcast at work. They tend to fade into the background of my conciousness and not distract me from what I'm working on.

AH! My Man! You rule! I currently have Waits and Primus in the changer in my WRX. People look at me like I am some deranged serial killer as I drive by. I wouldnt have it any other way. :thumbup:

:laughgray :laughgray :laughgray

I know exactly what you mean…

I was sitting in the fire lane at the mall, immediately after dropping-off Miss Kathy, when an amazingly drop-dead-gorgeous young woman started walking towards the VX on her way to the entrance… I caught her looking and smiling toward ‘us’ -- Well, that is, until she got within earshot of my open driver's-side window, and heard…

“Anchors away with the Black Rider
I'll drink your blood like wine
I'll drop you off in Harlem with the Black Rider
Out where the bullets shine

And when you're done
You cock your gun
The blood will run
Like ribbons in your hair”

…from The Black Rider (http://www.officialtomwaits.com/music/m_br_lyr.htm#Black_Rider).


That bubbly smile of hers disappeared immediately… replaced by a look of intense revulsion and horror! :smilewink :razzgray: :laughgray

[etlsport]

for those of us with stock audio... i discovered a couple of days ago that through the stock stereo the song "mistakes" by godsmack sounds fairly amazing.. thats my new showing off the car song :cool:

[nfpgasmask]

Ahhh X-Dream- We Interface, that is a great CD! And Utah Saints! Man, I can't believe someone else out there is still listening to them!!

I have an in-dash single DIN JVC player that plays MP3s off of DVDr!!! It rocks! 4.7 GIGs of MP3s on one disc! PM me if you want details!

WHAT! Thats all weak! Nothing but Reggetton in my VX. As a matter of fact when I was driving out of Hells gate in Moab who was on my radio? Daddy Yankee "GASOLINA" Broom Broom Dale Mas Gasolina... LOL!

[WyrreJ]

Just this weekend I discovered the whole bollywood-meets-reggaeton fad (apparently its already yesterday's news in Mumbai) and I must have played Mirame by Daddy Yankee about 50 times. I have yet to burn a CD of the tracks I like - still exploring.
