O/T Music you drive to ......

stevef doesn't listen to music because you can't fit gramaphones in the dash. It has nowt to do with 12cyls.

Varies a lot dependent on mood. Prodigy, Scissor Sisters, James Brown, Catatonia, Tom Jones, classical. All sorts.

James Blunt appears to be on my "most recently played" list on the iPod (which is connected to the car stereo).

I also listen to Radio 2 more and more (seemed to start when I was 32 and is getting worse).

And I hope you appreciate no mention of horses, or tracks that other halves make you play

 

"I won't let you down"
by Jim Diamond

taken from internet:
"Jim Diamond, the “small Scotsman” as he is often referred to, shot onto the music scene in May 1983 after he formed Ph.D with the epic ballad ‘I Won’t Let You Down’. The song came from Ph.D’s self titled debut album. The track originally failed to venture anywhere until WEA realised the band’s talent and instantly signed them up. The song meanwhile went on to become a classic in its own right."

 

It's an interesting question and one that reminds me of the pathetic (IMO) poll they did on Top Gear where the top 5 favourite driving songs were all hideous old rock or metal songs from the dark ages. IT almost put me off driving forever if that's the sort of company I'm keeping They sure know how to waste a lot of decent viewing time on that programme

I generally find the engine is music enough, but if in need of some tunes I am currently favouring the Fun Loving Criminals new album, followed closely by Supergrass and St Etienne

 

In the CD player at the moment are: Coldplay, Jamiroquai, Duran Duran, Dark side of the 80's and I forgot the others.

I can't change them yet as the others are packed away ready for my house move.

I listen to the radio most of the time and have a bad habit of retuning every 5 mins. Although I still don't class myself old enough for radio 2 (even though I am).

 

Drum 'n' bass, wicked.

(Radio 1 usually)

 

Just before the 355 blew up I had Lemon Jelly as well as Mylo on a fair few times, there is always some sort of dodgy Ministry CD in my car, although the last decent one was probably back in '99 - Clubbers Guide to Ibiza '99 is one of my alltime favourites (mixed by ATB), and is always in whichever car I own - infact I managed to rescue it from the burining 355 (buy them as a matter of habit now!).

Hed Kandi's are also a big fav.

Recently I have been enjoying Forever Faithless even though I have all the tracks elsewhere already..

Think I left a selection of dodgy trance CD's in JRS's 355 Challenge after he rescued me from said burning vehicle - which I can only apologise for if he put them in his CD player

 

Chilling - Hans Raj Hans or Gurdass maan
Bopping - Malkit Singh

 

Radio Station: Kiss 100
Music: Emenim, 50 Cent, Snoop Dog.
Oh and if you want to drive really fast song 2 by blur.

 

do you listen to the theme tune from black beauty?

 

Electric Samuraii by Tomayasu Hotei
Van Halen by Van Halen
Surfing with the Alien by Joe Satriani
Shuttlecock by Supertransatlantic
Carved in Stone by Vince Neil
Ain't Life Grand by Slash's Snakepit

....and I always drive smoothly!

Lets rock......

 

At the moment:-

Rush
Led Zep
Black Sabbeth
Rainbow
Twisted Sister
Van Halen

Seen them all live as well.
Only in the daily runabout,never listen to music in the Ferrari.

 

american head charge
scars of life
black flood diesel
stemm
sepultura


at the moment anyway

 

See I'm not the only one who likes it heavy!

 

Are they still a band?

 

dunno listening to a complilation album in the car and they are on the song is "bullitt the blue sky"

 

You mean are they still alive?

 

Do you wear leathers and all that metal stuff when you're driving too? I thought that was bikers' terrain

 

Oi! Nicola! I'm "only" 35. Just can't abide the mongos presenting on Radio 1 and the other stations in London that play OK music (Capital, Kiss, Virgin etc) are so full of ads it drives me mad. These days Radios 3 and 4 are where old people go (or perhaps it's all relative ).

And Jonathan Ross is worth listening to on a Saturday.

closeshave - Eminem's also one of my most played.

stevep - is that the same "bullet the blue sky" that U2 did? Starts off with some slow rythmic drumming and then plenty of guitar (one of the lines is "and I can see those fighter planes")? Great song if it is.

U2 are another regularly played...

 

Varies, but highest percentage of tunes in the car would be categorised as;

88 ~ 90 Hardcore (Acen, etc.)
Dance (Euro house, Trance)
R&B (with a heavy b-line).

Also agree that Blur's Song 2 is a top tune!

 

thats the one

 

Yep, although I do it the unorthadox way. I wear a 17th century suit of armour with leather trimmings. Get's a bit sweaty, but sufferance is good for the soul!

 

Both I suppose.

Murph,
I have tuned in by accident to radio 2 a few times and enjoyed it, once I realised what the station was, I quickly retuned.
How long until I give in and just listen...35?

 

You should get a 355 with an F1 box then Stig. It would make driving a lot easier for you
