driving music
 

I trying to put together a good driving album. Im into rock music alot, with kick ass riffs. Some songs Ive already chosen are

Deep Purple - Highway Star (obviously)
The White Stripes - Broken Bricks (great riff)
James Brown - Hot Pants (i like the bass line)


Not much of a list. I was hoping to get some suggestions on what to burn. Can be anything really, as long its got a good sound, and flows with the rest of the album.

Any ideas?

Red Barchetta - Rush

stephenwolf-magic carpet ride
Blur song 2
metallica one

San Francisco Symphony + Chorus - O Fortuna (this should be track one)
Clutch - Elephant Riders
Snot - Joy Ride
Powerman 5000 - Car Crash
Morphine - Thursday
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Mamma's Gravy - Big Brown Shoe
Los Straightjackets - Sing Sing Sing (studio version)
Chuck Barry - Reelin' and Rockin' (Live version)

You always have to put ministry - jesus built my hotrod on a driving tape. ;)

Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild"!!!

I like fu manchu
and slayer when I'm pissed/aggressive

Goldfingers cover of 99 Red Balloons (Thanks Jimmy)
Emperor - Anthems To Wilken At Dusk & Curse You All Men
Slipknot - Spit It Out
Iron Maiden - Aces High

Tool and Pink Floyd because they have albums that have a whole feel to them continuing over from song to song making listening to the whole thing an enjoyable experience.

most techno

Joe Satriani - Summer Song
Alice in Chains - Them Bones
Motörhead - Bomber
Megadeth - 502

curtis mayfield-superfly
joy division-love will tear us apart
tears for fears-everybody wants to rule the world
the meters-just kissed my baby

Techno or Initial D

Whoa, I'm am very impressed by the presence of Steppenwolf and Chuck Berry in this thread. 99 Red's a good one too.

I would say
-Black Betty - Ram Jam
-The Joker - Steve Miller Band
-Jumpin Jack Flash - Rolling Stones (best driving song EVER)
-Everything You've Done Wrong - Sloan
-Love Me Two Times - The Doors
-Lust For Life - Iggy Pop

Oh yeah, and No Sugar Tonight by The Guess Who
Band on the Run by Paul McCartney's not bad either

highway to hell, AC/DC
Open Road song, Eve 6
can't stop the rock, apollo four forty

those usually get a spot in my driving mixes...

The Offspring - Smashed album. Most of the album is upbeat and makes you keep your foot on the floor. Especially the second song, Nitro.

Cake- Devil is my Motor
Fenix Tx- A song for Everyone

Another One Bites the Dust

This is just funny to me, cause my best friend and I used to roll into out high school's parking lot with this blasting out of his car that he bought for 100 bucks.

haha, good times

try putting on the danny elfman theme for "batman", then crank it up.... i swear it'll make you feel invincible.

Steve Vai - "The Audience is Listening" - its got a kick ass riff and just really rocks

Bush - "Machine Head"
Van Halen - "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" - classic riff, very cool
Led Zeppelin - "Rock and Roll"
Whitesnake - "Still of the Night"
Pink Floyd - "Young Lust" - its just a great song

Creedance Clearwater. Its also The Dude's choice.

Depend where and when I'm driving I guess.

Sometimes I enjoy some light listenting - old Tom Waits, Blues, Trailer Bride, Beck's latest, mainly vocal-heavy stuff.

Sometimes Jazz.

During the day if I want power music it's usally something "driving" any of Nick Caves songs that kick your ass (Mercy Seat, Papa Won't Leave You Henry, Babe, I'm on Fire, etc...) are excellent for this.

At night I go more towards techno and drum and bass stuff. The James Hardway "Easy Is A Four Letter Word" CD is great for this.

Flashing city lights + flashing beats = Flashing police lights.

Man that Tenacious D track "the road" or whatever is awesome for trips, because it starts out all fast and quick, like when you start a long trip, but then the middle gets all serious like when all that energy is depleted and you are looking out the window are melancoly like. Its super fun
