Best Driving Music
 

I'm going on a small road trip in a little while and it made me think of what music I should bring with me. So I wanted to know what everyone here listens to when they're driving. What makes you want to drive really fast or keeps you awake at night? What are some of the best albums to play with the windows down?

A few of my choices are:
Springsteen- Born to Run
Minor Threat
The Clash- London Calling (Great album with lots of different sounds, plus it's really long.)

Reverend Horton Heat "Big Sky/Baddest of the Bad."

They are two songs, but they are meant to be heard together. I think it is excellent music to speed to.

get the theme to the tim burton "batman", the one composed by danny elfman. while you're driving, i swear, it'll make you feel invincible.

since I'm always in traffic here in NYC...someone recently turned me onto Ludacris' Move Bitch...

Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way

May I also suggest "Bad Habit" by Offspring:

"Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I feel like I'm God
You stupid dumbshit goddam MOTHERFUCKER!"

Personally, I like EBM, Techno, and Industrial when i'm driving.

Good beats, lots of bass, etc. Works for me :)

Any Reverend Horton Heat is good for speed. We are talking about the drug right?

For hip hop

Wu-Tang Forever

For ROCK!

Bad Company - 10 to 6

WHAM's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"

and The Foundations "Build Me Up Buttercup"

...

waiting for the incredulous stares.

You gotta include "Radar Love" by Golden Earing. It's made to be played while driving.

I always have the urge to crank the volume to Kenny Loggins song....'Highway to the Danger Zone'. (from Top Gun)

Warning: May make you exceed the speed limit!

led zeppelin- travelling riverside blues
kyuss- gardenia, 100 degrees, asteroid
queens of the stone age- millonaire, songs for the deaf, mexicola, feel good hit

John Mayer

/predictable

I tend to like a nice mix of Slipknot/Sevendust/Rob Zombie/Marilyn Manson or classic punk.

Anything by Rush suite me just fine.

There is a song by Pete Yorn called "Life On A Chain" that I just love....
godDENIM thats a good driving song...

I second that on The Rev. Five-0 Ford is another good high-speed song.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd- Trouble is...
Nashville Pussy- Shoot First and Run Like Hell
Stuart Hamm- If You're Scared, Stay Home!
Steve Vai- The Attitude Song

"karma" from Delirium.

Soundtrack to "Queen of the Damned."

I've always thought that Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" was the ultimate, driving at night while smoking a cigarette, driving song.

Lost Highway soundtrack is a good one. :)

Techno is pretty good for driving at night. Paul Oakenfold's Tranceport CD is pretty basic, but gets the job done.

Sometimes if I'm cruising down the freeways here in ATL late at night, I'll break out the trance.

All of this music will keep you awake, but it also will probably want to make you drive faster too, so watch that speed.

I've actually heard somewhere that they did and study, and found the most dangerous song to drive to is Ride of the Valkyries. I think they found it causes the driver to feel indestructible or something like that.

Its fun! lol

any zombie stuff rob or white zombie... u cant keep ur foot out of the throttle... go to ls1speed.com and on the left corner u will see movies... click on intmd8 760rwhp burnout... u will see what i mean

Wagner - Ride of the Valkryies. Very loudly with the windows down.

Motely Crue - kickstart my heart - you can't not speed :)

Back when it was legal for me to drive, I would mainly listen to Industrial, extremely loud, with the windows down. I would FORCE my music on other people. The side effect of this, of course is that I would speed all the time. And thus why I cannot drive anymore.

Lost in Translation (soundtrack) recommended for scenic driving, especially on a cloudy day.

Thorogood.... George....

Bad to the Bone
No Particular Place to Go
One Bourbon, One Whiskey, One Beer :thumbsup:

and the only Sammy Hagar song worth listening to:

I Can't Drive...... Sixtyyyyyy Five :D

when driving down a highway ain't nothing better except maybe Steppenwolf's Born To Be Wild... but that is so cliche :hmm:

You got your license permanently revoked for speeding? How many times did you get caught?

Rush - Red Barchetta
Rob Zombie - Dragula
Thomas Dolby - Keys to her Ferrari
Satch - Train of Angels

Counting Crows - Rain King: This one works for me, but not may others

For late night long distance: STP - Interstate Love Song

Slayer
The Haunted
Blind Guardian

its all good.

"My Maserati does 185
I lost my liscense now I don't drive....

Life's been good to me so far...."

Reminded me of the great song by Joe Walsh.

Limp Bizkit - Rollin'


good for when you want to drive fast...but anything with lots of bass for me....love to give my subs a good work out :thumbsup:

Hooverphonic's A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular album keeps me awake ;)

Bob Seger, period. There is no other driving music, it's all a lie.

Any classic Stones album should do.

If you want to be fairly mellow but stay awake late at night, think Motown. Martha Reeves, Smokey Robinson, Supremes, Marvin Gaye, all those. They're not that intense, but they've definitely got the beat and are good to sing along with.

the queen of the damned soundtrack, Korn and Disturbed when your want to drive fast.
And if you feel a little down, Nickelback (not the latest album, The Long Road) and The Poets of the Fall-Late Goodbye

1979 - Smashing Pumpkins
Mr. E's Beautiful Blues - Eels
Zion - Fluke
Clint Eastwood - Gorillaz
Miss You - Rolling Stones
Einstein on a Beach - Counting Crows

ANY song off Weezer's blue album.

the best driving song ever is Sky, by Ra

download it!!

I'm going to have to be stereotypical and go with AC/DC - highway to hell, it's personaly my favourite driving song.
