    Now we're talkin'

    I love electronica/industrial when I drive (or run). Some of my fav's are:

    NIN (Nine Inch Nails)
    Die Warzau
    Apoptygma Berzerk
    Nitzer Ebb
    Gravity Kills
    Covenant
    Mesh
    Front Line Assembly
    Front 242
    Leaether Strip
    Ministry
    Skinny Puppy
    Armageddon Dildos
    A Split Second
    Rob Zombie

    I also like 80's new wave, such as:

    Depeche Mode
    New Order
    Duran Duran
    Soft Cell (well one song)

    I like the new stuff too. Basically, anything that gets me to involuntarily start to boogy is great stuff for driving.

    I rarely listen to music in the car, but when I do it's either classic funk or alt-country. My husband says I have the weirdest taste in music ever.

    Local trips -- NPR

    Long drives -- any of the '60's & '70's 33 1/3 rpm LP record albums that I've been recording to CD, scratches & all. (Much better than their new CD incarnations)

    interesting thread.

    since i listen to many different kinds of music, from segovia to slayer, i gotta say it depends on my mood. although i gotta say when i listen to the speed metal, i gotta keep it on cruise control or else i'll find myself tapping out at 100mph.
