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.)

anleja

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.

soopafreek

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.

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!"

Stare At The Sun

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

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

World's King

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

kalashnikov

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

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

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.

Church

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

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.

"My Maserati does 185

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

Reminded me of the great song by Joe Walsh.

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

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

I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

Paradise Lost

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.

Kirgar

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
