Favorite Driving Music

I think the B-52's were on Leno, but didn't see it.
Good show, anyone ?

 

got Bon Jovi's "wanted dead or alive" stuck in my head ... freakin rock band :rockon:

 

Right now the six CDs I've lot loaded in the car are:

1. Nael Yaim - she's the song on the Apple Air Book commercial (good CD)
2. Rufus Wainwright - Want One - love him - great to sing to
3. Carla Bruni - former French model and wonderful singer - recently married Pres of France
4. Timbaland - well, do I HAVE to explain - turn up the music
5. Will I Am - same
6. Ingrid Michaelson - another "commercial" - the Old Navy Sweater song. Good CD.

Rather mixed taste - love just about everything.

 

99% Live Grateful Dead

 

Radio: Almost exclusively CBC Radio 2. "Music and Company" in the morning, and "Disc Drive" in the afternoon. How Canadian, eh?

CDs: Although my taste in music is varied (classical, rock, world, rap, jazz, blues), while driving, I listen mostly to classical. Nothing beats Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" (the music playing in the "Apocalypse Now" AirCav scene) for cutting through the afternoon rush hour!

 

Just a partial list:

Dianne Schuur:
"Swingin' For Schuur"
"Dianne Schuur and the Count Basie Orchestra"

Maynard Ferguson:
"Chameleon"
"Live at Jimmies"
"The One and Only Maynard Ferguson"
"MF Horn"
"MF Horn VI: Live at Ronnie's"

The Manhattan Transfer:
"The Offbeat of Avenues"
"Vocalese"

The Singers Unlimited:
"Magic Voices"

Buddy Rich:
"The Roar of '74"
"Class of '78"
"Live at Ronnie Scott's"

The Toshiko Akiyoshi / Lew Tabackin Big Band:
"Road Time"

 

Asleep At The Wheel -- Texas swing

 

Clubbed To Death - Rob D from The Matrix movie in stealth / EV mode.

The coolest feeling when rolling at low speed with this music.

 

Two from my iPod that are currently faves to drive to:

Jesus Built My Hot Rod -- Ministry

Electric Version -- The New Pornographers

 

I heard this on “American Idol†a few weeks ago – Pocket Full of Sunshine – bought the CD. Natasha Bedingfield has the prettiest voice I’ve heard in a long time! The last 25 seconds of “Angel†gives me goosebumps. She really “got pipes†as Randy would say…
So right now it’s “Pocket Full of Sunshineâ€

Dragonforce speed metal is awesome. Through the Fire and the Flames!
Hendrix is a GOD!:hail::hail::hail::hail:
Kiss – one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
Grateful Dead – the stuff with Jerry, not the new stuff so much, in fact I don’t even have a CD of the new stuff. Saw them in 1969 in Buffalo. The FIRST rock concert I had ever been allowed to go to.
Allman Bros. – second concert I went to, also in Buffalo. Had floor tickets, center section, row 3. Yes, Dicky Betts has a red guitar…when you get that close, it was all stage sound back then. With the 2 drummers the stereo effects were amazing.

Guy in WNY

 

The new Simple Plan CD. It's awesome!

 

Pink Floyd...

Unless I'm in the Vette... then I don't turn on the radio.

 

The Mermen

This is a very good instrumental band with over 80 live shows available for download at the internet archive. For a sample of their live show, look at this video.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSJs9b3-Cok"]YouTube - Mermen - Quest For Fear Jam[/ame]

If you're interested in listening to an entire concert, I'd recommend this show from January of 2008 when the video above was shot.

Everything to me is driving music I love driving and I love my music, I listen to just about everything except classical, just can't get into that, although I love the Nutcracker CD.

 

Golden oldies all the way, mainly 1960's. Shirelles, Temptations, Bill Comet, etc.

 

Depends on the kind of driving I'm doing. For long hauls I like the Tannahill Weavers.

If I need to relax, I like the soundtrack from March of the Penguins.

 

in my prius almost anything goes!!!

to date: old and new underground hip hop

 

I like this version by Elvis Hitler.
