I was listening to the radio yesterday (having only had a radio in the Elise for a few months after years of being stereoless) and I was rewarded with Feeder-Just a Day.

If you've spent as much time playing GT3 as I have, and you hear that song, while being sat in a car that's in the title movie, you turn it up.

I've got it on the hard drive as well (hard drive and radio only, because it had to be a light stereo), but if I listen to that sort of thing all the time while driving I'll do stupid things.

A lot of these songs never come on the radio. Or at least not the stations I listen to...

A secret wish is my favourite CD,gets played on loop on long trips.

To answer the OP,I have a lot of tunes that the volume goes way up for.
That's a great album, all good except tracks 3 y 7.

I always skip track 5.

It's the only track which didn't appear on the cassette tape which I had long before the CD.

I managed to get hold of a copy of the instrumental soundtrack to 'Badboys' last week, it's a bit repetitive as the same riff is used in different contexts throughout the CD/film but i'm glad whoever specced my car from new ticked the box for the big sound system.

If it was an old pagoda top SL that's pretty classy, other wise meh. Bob Seger's Hollywood nights is another one that encourages a little more volume and speed.

That's one of the best, frozen faces.

OT I used to turn up 'Love potion number 9 by The Coasters' when I had the Later magazine CD.
