I love to drive; I live for road trips. The driving itself is fun, but it's the music that makes it fabulous. What's your favourite? Song/CD/Group/Singer/Genre, whichever best fits. Even if you don't do road trips, what music is your fave to listen to while driving in the car?

Rock
Classical
Nothing

My Special Five Set CD Collection OFFFFF

Random Shit

Containts over 300 Soungs of every single style and artists with the except of Gangster Rap, Country and of Course Gospele

That exclues ACUTAL Country IE Fokes Songs and the like, I have a few like "Goodnight Irine" as sung by invetor(Or repoducer or whatever) in 1907 During a Prison stretch of his

Anyway but normaly I go with just about anything but I tend towards Classic Rock/Insturmentals, a few sprinklings of Modern and of course the Sound-tracks of Cowboy Bebop

Metallica Reload and S&M Disc 1. Best road albums ever. Always listen to them on a road trip, good hard rock. Best thing for a road trip.

I like either jazz or classical music. Sometimes I'll listen to 70's era rock.

Some hard rocks, 70s Rock, sometimes Funk suprisingly, oh Star Wars & Classical. And as Bean said I like actual country as in: anything before 1980. Not Hick, Redneck Rock, or Redneck Rap which it has become.

So Zaia, what's yours?

The whole reason I asked in the first place was because I was driving out to a friend's place yesterday and rediscovered one of my favourite driving cds! (Don't you love it when you rediscover cds you used to love but then sort of forgot about? Ahhh, love that!)

Sorry, I digress. My picks:

"Grand Slam" by Spiderbait (cd I rediscovered yesterday--TOTALLY awesome Aussie band)
"Imaginate" by Taxiride (another kickass Aussie band)
"Songs In the Attic" by Billy Joel
"Revolver" by the Beatles
"Sgt. Pepper" by the Beatles
"Try Anything Once" by the Alan Parsons
"Room for Squares" by John Mayer
Soundtracks to 'The Matrix' and 'Office Space'
Assorted Metallica, Tori (the loud ones, not the weepy ones), and Indigo Girls (when I'm in the mood to serenade the other people on the highway)

That's pretty much it, I think.

w00t! Spiderbait!

I tend to listen to Foo Fighters, Gorillaz, Sonic Animation, or a Triple J hottest 100...

The music I listen while driving?? HOUSE MUSIC all the way!!!!!!!!

Usually I listen to these tunes when driving:
Ayumi Hamasaki - M
Harmonix - Landslide
Sasha - Expander
Chemical Brothers - It Began In Africa
Carl Cox - Manual
Robert Miles - X-Files Theme Song
Robert Miles - Children
Safri Duo - Played-A-Live
110 - Rupture

(by the way, WHAT brake?)

Born to be wild(Great on the highway)
SHine(by Bond, it's great when you're driving across an open landscape)

My friend gave me some really cool Greek music. Although I'm Greek, my musical knowledge sucks. Hey, it sounds good though.

Rock or classical. Sometimes jazz.

Lonely Grill - Lonestar

Seinsucht - Rammstein

The Soundtracks from:

Transformers
SW (all of them)
Lord of the Rings
Beavis and Butthead do America (LMAO)

anything fast and with a killer bass line.

generally:

techno
death metal
goth metal/rock
some rock
VG music (FF battlemusic)
movie/TV soundtracks

When I usually ride around the 'hood at about 2 miles per hour I usually crank the bass to some old school snoop dawg' shit.

Depends on my driving mood:

Somber (post date or pre-date): Jewel or Dido
Average Day: Michelle Branch
Angry: Eminem
Angry and Somber: Default or Lifehouse

Has any body ever wound the windows down and blasted gangsta rap or disco music at full volume? I see those quite a lot...

fuck tha (c)rap shit, i roll down the windows and blast hardcore techno or goth metal, really gets some odd looks as i'm just sitting there as if nothing's out of the ordinary (not "jamming" to the music), and i appear perfectly calm (which i am when listening to fast music as it sync's with the speed of my mind usually.) btw, fast music helps me think clearer, has to do purely with the speed of my mind, slow music drives me nuts.

THE single best album I can think of for that is Tool's Aenima, followed closely by Switchblade Symphony's Serpentine Gallery and Orgy's Candyass.

Aenima is fucking awesome for driving.

Seeing as I don't have a CD player in my car, I usually listen to one of the rock stations in my area. I do have a favored selection of road songs...

Bob Seger - Turn the Page - Dark, smooth and moody.
Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive - For me, the quintessential outlaw song.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird - YOU try not rocking out after the lyrics are through and the guitar begins fucking jamming the fuck out.
The Offspring - Totalimmortal - Done well over the speed limit with this one...

AND of course...the one song that is blasted, sung to and rocked out on regardless of time or who's in the car...

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

Usually it's my cd's that I burn unless I have a new one. I listen to the radio a bit too. It's mostly rock/alternative for the most part. I will have to say, Cardigans My Favourite Game gets a lot of play time if I feel like driving fast, and furious. boo yah.

I like just about everything. But here's the list of what was in the duffel bag from my last road trip:

Arrested Development - Unplugged
Big Country - best of
Bjork - Post
Disturbed - The Sickness
Marvin Gaye - TimeLife best of
Steve Earle - El Corazon
Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape
Ben Harper - Welcome to the Cruel World
Incubus - Morning View
Chris Isaak - Always Got Tonight
Lemonheads - Come On Feel
The Posies - Frosting on the Beater
The Replacements - All for Nothing (best of & b-sides)
Garrison Starr - Eighteen Over Me
Stroke 9 - Nasty Little Thoughts
Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Global A Go-Go
Swervedriver - Raise
Taj Majal - Giant Step
The Temptations - TimeLife best of
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak

Personally I'd go with the Metallica version but neh.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird - YOU try not rocking out after the lyrics are through and the guitar begins fucking jamming the fuck out.

THE greatest driving song ever...just stretch that FREEEEEEEEEE BIIIIIIRD YEEEEAAAHHHH! Awesome awesome song and the guitar duel just makes you wanna drive faster (or perhaps make a few radical u-bies or lead a convoy from the rear car)
