Driving Music

[vvvroom]

The songs that you have on loudly, as you blast down the Motorway, sneering at rival motors, ever accelerating. Wha
If you could make a cd of songs for fast cars, what would you put on it?

Some great suggestions that would make my Driving Music Compilation CD:

Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf
Alright Now by Free
Smells like teen spirit by Nirvana
Ace of Spades by Motorhead
Passenger (version of your choice)
Highway to Hell by ACDC
Anarchy in the UK by Sex Pistols
Go your own way by Fleetwood Mac (ideal for secenic routes around sun set)
Money for nothic by Dire Straits.

[Nicholas Blair]

You missed

Heatseaker AC/DC
Thunderstruck AC/DC LIve

There are others, just can't think at the moment.

[vvvroom]

Quite! Let us not forget You shook me all night long or legs by ZZ Top.

In 1991 zz top appeared onstage surrounded by a mixture of spiders, snakes and bugs. It wasn't part of the show mind, they'd simply combed out their beards that day.

[morgala]

anything by the Stone Roses

[peteh]

When the sun is shining and the roof is off then it's got to be 'Boys of Summer' by that bloke from the Eagles..........

[wildego1]

Don't forget Led Zep - Whole lotta love

Wheels of Steel by Saxon. Okay, I know it's about a '68 Chevy but it complements a wedge exhaust rather well.

Or how about Ride of the Valkyrie..?

[oxbow]

Go my website and listen.

[Satchman]

Joe Satriani has a bunch of cool instrumentals that are just great (IMHO) if you are out for a blast. Here are a few to check out. (Several of the track titles seem particularly appropriate whilst TreVoRing.)

Satch Boogie
Summer Song
Motorcycle Driver
Flying In A Blue Dream
Surfing With The Alien
Mighty Turtle Head
Back To Shalla Ball
Speed Of Light
One Big Rush
The Journey
Mind Storm
Why?
War

And even a few with lyrics (although he's no vocalist):-

Ride
Crazy
Big Bad Moon
Can't Slow Down

[razzle99]

Some top tunes suggested so far, but personally love to hear Insomnia by Faithless - when it finally kicks off after that relentless build up, it's very difficult not to bury that loud pedal ! (only up to the legal limit obviously!!)

[mrmaggit]

That reminds me, Satchman, must get some Satriani on when I get home. Haven't listen to some of that stuff for ages.

Have to add, if you want a driving CD, you need some Jimmy Barnes on it.

[S1X OK]

It must be the conflict between exhaust note ICE that means the music needs guts to stand any chance of being heard.

I was compiling a few in-car CDs the other day, consisting of:
Fluke:
various remixes of Atom Bomb,
Spacey (Catch 22 Dub) Six wheels on my wagon
Astrosapiens - Six wheels on my wagon
Life Support - Six wheels on my wagon
All of Oto, plus most of Risotto
Slid - Justin Robertson's Scat and Sax Frenzy
Bubble - Braillebubble

Then a whole heap of Underworld, specifically tracks from Dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest in the Infants and a couple of real bangers from One Hundred days off.
All finished off with lashings of Massive Attack Vs The Mad Professor and some Mirwais - Production.

[blueyes]

"Speed 6" or "V8" by TVR.

I wish I could flick a switch and have either.
The former for fast twisties , the latter for town centres.

[li'l pugs]

Razzle99 - Insomnia is a deffinite
blueyes - V8 by TVR (or Rover in a TVR) again

And I cannot believe no-one has yet mentioned the mighty David Grohl in either Foo Fighter or QOTSA guise !!
