Posted July 5, 200520 yr comment_2764647 With my move (and the road trip) just seven weeks away, I want to start compiling music to take on the road with me now. I was hoping to get some good "driving songs" recommendations. Feel free to recommend huge amounts because I've got a 20-hour drive.
July 5, 200520 yr comment_2765037 Heh, how about The Cars? LOL! Seriously though, I've been listening to them a lot lately. They really did have a lot of hits. Underrated band. Umm, I've been listening to Heart, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Seger lately. Most of that shit is pretty mellow and easy listening, so I figure it'd be idea to ride to. Of course, occasionally, each of them can pick up the tempo as well, so it'd be great in the afternoon when you don't want too much mellow.
July 5, 200520 yr comment_2765505 Hmm...Most of these probably aren't good if you're looking for mellow songs. Trying to give songs that would be considered eclectic or offbeat choices. Hope some of this helps you out. "Bad Habit" - Offspring (Good if you want to get road rage at some point) "Dragula" - Rob Zombie "Thunderkiss '65" - White Zombie "More Human Than Human" - White Zombie "Son of a Gun" - Nirvana "Roll With It" - Oasis "Fear of Dying" - Jack Off Jill "Far Away Coast" - Dropkick Murphys "Easily" - Red Hot Chili Peppers "OK" - Rosetta Stone "Lazy Mary" - Orange Goblin "War Pigs" - Black Sabbath "Trapped in a Box" - No Doubt "Here Is to No Why" - Smashing Pumpkins "Out of Step" - Minor Threat "Psycho" - System of a Down "Immortal" - Kittie (Instrumental) "Mr. Crowley" - Ozzy Osbourne "Drain the Blood" - Distillers "Freebird" - Lynyrd Skynyrd "Rage of Angels" - Orange Goblin
July 5, 200520 yr comment_2765577 Just pop in Pink Floyd's "Echoes." You should be there by the end of the song.
July 5, 200520 yr comment_2766172 Loss, what type of music are you most partial to AND is there a type you cant stand? Itd be silly for us to sit here and tell us what we like, and then assume that youre automatically gonna like it too. If Ive got all these great rap tracks that I listen on the road but you hate rap, then Itd be pointless to reccommend them to you etc etc.
July 5, 200520 yr Author comment_2766186 I like all types of music, but I don't like all music. That's usually my answer to that question. I'm partial to kind of a trip-hop sound or whatever you'd call it (Portishead, Bjork, Tricky, etc), but hardly limited to that.
July 5, 200520 yr comment_2766234 So you answer the question by not really answering and just confusing me? Just pop in WCW slam Jam and let it be it. "Man they Call Sting" is great for u turns and lane changes.
July 5, 200520 yr Author comment_2766251 I'm not going to tell you I hate some style of music when there are none I hate. You're making this harder than it has to be. If you like it, whoever you are, chances are I'll like it. Very little music that a lot of people like that I don't.
July 5, 200520 yr comment_2766376 Check out Nick Drake's three major albums, "Pink Moon," "Five Leaves Left," and "Bryter Layter."
July 5, 200520 yr comment_2766432 Sorry, I find that alot of people jus ask questions, when theyre really not as open to the options as the question states. Its like You: "Man, Im bored. What should I do?" Your atheltic friend: "Man, you show go play some rugby" You (whom arent nearly as atheltic and dont wanna spend all day getting kneed in the face by ugly assholes): "Why praytell would I do that?" Your Friend: "Dunno thats what I would do" Different strokes for Different folks. Anyway- Fugees- The Score Dr Hook- Greatest hits Jay Z- Vol 2: Hard knock Life Ludacris- Back for the first time Warren G- Regulate G funk era Now youve got tell us about after your trip though. What you got and what you liked and didnt like.
July 5, 200520 yr comment_2767240 How about Flogging Molly? Irish band if you're into that sort of thing.
July 5, 200520 yr comment_2767532 Automatic For The People, Dark Side Of The Moon or Foo Fighters first album. All three if it's a long trip. Musicforthemorningafter is good also. Maybe Nebraska for night drives, although Automatic For The People or Dark Side Of The Moon work just as well then also.
July 6, 200520 yr comment_2768681 "Cowboy Song" by Thin Lizzy. "Turn The Page" by Metallica or Bob Seger. I lean towards the Metallica version.
July 6, 200520 yr comment_2771495 Pop in Black Sabbath's self-titled, and listen to the whole thing. You got time.
July 6, 200520 yr comment_2771795 The best driving song you can play when leaving a place for good is Pearl Jam's "Rearview Mirror".
July 7, 200520 yr comment_2780985 John Legend Get Lifted.. well, maybe not the best DRIVING music, but the album is just jammin', bro.
September 12, 200520 yr Author comment_3413008 I ended up making quite the mix that I'm going to keep quiet for now, because I'm using it as my Christmas '05 mix, and some people on this board are going to get a copy of it (the same ones who got the mix last year). I think this one is much better because my musical tastes, even in the last six months, have changed and expanded.
October 14, 200519 yr Author comment_3669089 Sort of on topic, here's a *really* early draft of what my Christmas CD is going to be looking like this year. Some stuff will be eliminated, some will be added. The challenge is going to be finding a way to make this all fit into a cohesive mix, and I think I learned from some of the mistakes I made last year and this will be better for it. Anyway, if you got one last year, you'll get one this year. This is related to this thread in that a large part of the songs listed here (though not all of them) are ones I had on the road with me, and I'm using that mix as a base for the Christmas CD. As an added note, I was single last year and I am not this year, so it's a double effort this time around, meaning I'm sending out a *two-disc set* with closer to 300 songs than 150 songs. Mmm ... collaborations. I'll post a final list with the final selection in a month or so. I'm also sure I'll have a few extras I'll mail out to people who want a copy. *wink* Baltimora - Tarzan Boy The Fixx - One Thing Leads To Another Pantera - Walk Al Green - Let's Stay Together The Clash - London Calling The Who - My Generation The Who - Baba O'Reilly U2 - Two Hearts Beat As One U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name U2 - All I Want Is You Tori Amos - Crucify Squirrel Nut Zippers - Low Down Man Radiohead - Creep Primus - Over The Electric Grapevine The Pretenders - Message Of Love Portishead - Humming Pink Floyd - Time Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea Nine Inch Nails - Into The Void Nine Inch Nails - Terrible Lie (Empathetic Mix) Liz Phair - Flower Led Zeppelin - The Ocean Billy Squier - Everybody Wants You Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon Bounty Killer feat.

October 24, 200519 yr Author comment_3749044 God, this Christmas mix was a bad idea. The fella was responsible for coming up with 150 songs, just as I was, and he told me his list was done today. I go to check it out, and he's cocked it up with Backstreet Boys/Britney Spears/Daniel Bedingfield/Blink 182/Bon Jovi/Alanis Morissette stuff. I feel a major fight with feelings hurt coming on, but maybe I can avoid it.
October 24, 200519 yr Author comment_3749342 Ok, I think I've figured out a way to include all of that stuff without taking away from the better stuff, so nevermind.
