Really good tunes for driving.....

Sure we all love to listen to music when we drive, but do you have any favourite tunes that just seem to be really well suited for road trips?

Personally, if I have to haul ass for about 100+ miles at high speed, some music from the late 60's early 70's is great.
Lots of music recorded at that time has sophisticated arrangements and complex harmonies to keep me entertained with a good driving beat for shifting the gears.

My favourites are:
The Doors (Especially: LA Woman and Light My Fire)
Chicago's first album
Lighthouse (not the recent band, the old one from the 60's)
Bruce Springsteen from the 70's
some tunes from the Allman Brothers.
Creedance Clearwater Revival

Since my favoured roads are twisty and tight, I really don't listen to music, I much prefer the sound of a 1.5 single-carb 1.5 :p Nah, I went for a drive today and tried listening to the radio, but turned it off in disgust.

But if I'm cruising, then I normally just chuck on a Compilmation of new wave music from the 80's :D

I'd enjoy listening to my engine if it wasn't ruined by the slushomatic piece of shit.

Any Jurassic 5 is always great to drive to

Los Lobos: Good Morning Aztlan
Motley Crue: Kickstart My Heart
Metallica: Master of Puppets
Deicide: Once Upon the Cross
Led Zeppelin: Rock and Roll
Pantera: I'm Broken
The Who: Won't Get Fooled Again
Stevie Ray Vaughan: Wham!

That's over a half hour right there. Happy driving!

depends on the kind of driving i'm doing what i'm listing too.
On track just the motor
highway twisty roads techno rap
city old rock punk ska chilled stuff

Cypress Hill - Child of the Wild West

Slipknot, Mudvayne if i feel like drivin fast, Lynyrd Skynyrd if i feel like redneck drivin

techno.... not just because i love it anyway, but it makes such good car music, it really gets u pumped... im into trance, dance, NRG, hardhouse, hardcore and some other misc stuff. apart from the people that genuinely like it, i hate the fags who pump their rap music when their cruisin around busy streets at 15 mph or any time they are trying to look cool. i like rap, well some of it the good stuff, but i dont play it around other people much because its not really a reflection of me.

My fave roadtrip tunes are as follows:

Metallica - Wherever I May Roam
AC/DC - Highway To Hell
'Tallica - Fuel
The Doors - Roadhouse Blues
Pink Floyd - Wish You Where Here
Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock!
Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart
AutoGraph - Turn Up The Radio
"The Entire 'Vice City - VRock' Soundtrack!!"
AudioSlave - I Am The Highway

And tons more

most Audioslave is good, as is most Deftones (especially "Passenger"). Of course you can't forget Jesus Built My Hotrod by Ministry :)

Judas Priest - Turbo Lover

The distance - Cake

Of course you can't forget Jesus Built My Hotrod by Ministry :)

soon i discovered that this rock thing was true
jerry lee lewis was the devil
jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
all of a sudden, i found myself in love with the world
so there was only one thing that i could do
was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long



The Jesus line cracks me up every time i hear it. :lol:

My favourites are:
The Doors (Especially: LA Woman and Light My Fire)
Chicago's first album
Lighthouse (not the recent band, the old one from the 60's)
Bruce Springsteen from the 70's
some tunes from the Allman Brothers.
Creedance Clearwater Revival

Speaking of the Doors. Go get yourself their Live in Concert 2 disc album. Road House Blues (Disc one) is a badass driving tune!!

Don Henley - Boys of summer

Eric B & Rakim - Eric B for President

Good cruising....hmmm.... As of now this is my current cruise selection


Tupac
Credence(of course)
Lucky Boys Confusion
Split Habit

I listen to metallica especially the old stuff like kill'em all i just love the way the guitars sound on that album

give these a try:

Spirited Racing:
The Offspring - Staring at the sun
The Offsrping - Kids Aren't Alright
The Knack - My Sharona

Mellow Cruisin':
Ja Rule - Race Against Time
Tupac - Starin' Through my Rearview

I was always thought All Eyes on Me, book's 1 and 2 were good CD's to go cruising with. You can listen to every song and they're all good for ridin.

with some of the rare driving experiences I've had (I don't legally drive yet), I like blasting techno/trance and rave, and some rap. Driving with high bass tunes with the windows down really rocks.

Jurassic 5-power in number
wu tang clan-iron flag
kool moe dee-funky funky wisdom
red man/method man-black out
motor head-brithday
slayer-seasons in the abyss
ministry-jesus built my hot rod
michael jackson-thriller(dont laugh..good beats)

Doors lovers unite! If it's late though I can listen to Jay-z (Grey Album) or trance. Depends on the mood and my driving.

Jurassic 5-power in numberS

Big and Rich-Horse of a Different Color. Awsome CD.

Split Habit

ANy Beastie boys track - esp. from Check Your Head
Any Wu Tang Track
Any Deftones track from White pony
DJ Food - Nocturne
DJ Shadow - Six Day War
Eric B & Rakim - Paid in Full
Closer - NIN
When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin.

I'd enjoy listening to my engine if it wasn't ruined by the slushomatic piece of shit.

ditto... oh wait I'm in a LEXUS AND CAN'T EVEN HEAR THE ENGINE AT ALL DAMMIT! :grinno:

but seriously, one of these lexus engines would be very nice if dropped into an m5 or other BMW, where I would actually be able to hear it. Would likely have to fabricate a custom flywheel and/or clutch among other things to do such a swap though.
