Love Jack FM to bits. Only downside is that they play a bit of Scouting For Girls and Don't stop Believing by Journey which I can't stand at all.

I turn up the radio to anything by Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Gimme Shelter or Satisfaction by the Stones, or whatever Dr Mösh plays on Simon Mayos show on Wednesday.

I had compiled a list of my top 100 songs. Took me two years.

I then deleted it.

Apart from S Club 7 there was;
Kylie - Spinning around
Waterfall - All Saints
Jemiroqui - Feel So Good
Steps - Stomp

All a bit G.A.Y but I feel fabulous!

No. I dislike show tunes....however, my 12yo and 4yo daughters listen to the Frozen songs constantly and I kind of like the main song "Let it go".

It's quite rousing.

[kdri155]

I don't have the radio on much mainly cd's I'm quite happy with the factory standard players in my cars.

The Verve --- Bitter sweet symphony
Prodigy --- Firestarter
Massive Attack --- Teardrop
Dean Martin --- Mack The Knife
Frank Sinatra --- My way
Holst --- The Planets Mars
Kenny Rogers --- The Gambler
AC/DC --- If you want blood

I've got a varied taste in music as you can see.

[DJFish]

Ones that immediately spring to mind are:
Beastie Boys-Sabotage
Foo Fighters-White Limo
Stone Roses-Love Spreads

The best AC/DC track, no question:

'Sabotage' by the Beastie Boys
'Push it' by Salt N Pepa
'Money for Nothing' by Dire Straits
'Welcome to the Jungle' by Guns and Roses
'Ice ice baby' by Vanilla Ice
'You can do it..' by Ice Cube
'No good, (start the dance)' by The Prodigy
'Still D.R.E' by Dr Dre and Snoop
'Ghosts N Stuff' by Deadmau5

Oh and anything by Roxette

That is so eclectic that I like it, although you can ram your Roxette nonsense and I'll have...

Absolute Radio have most of these covered too.

[J8 SVG]

My stereo is usually too loud anyway but classics from Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, ELO, Any Trouble or Billy Joel can take it to a new level. Not much that's played on the radio made after I was born that will actually get turned up

[iva cosworth]

5 minutes ago ,turned up to 11 for Chris Cornell,You know my name,the Bond fill theme.

Chooon.......

[iva cosworth]

Propaganda - Duel

Top tune!

Stick with it.... you will recognise it

Edited by HaloGen8 on Friday 18th July 22:10

I think you could be right, epic track either way .... here's another linky:

http://videos.sapo.pt/5gQ8SI7fb7mzZIPQKr4N




Won't play for me. The rally music is Jeweled isn't it which is a remix?

Not in-car, but if you haven't listened to the SACD of A Secret Wish, and your have the appropriate surround equipment, then you will be in for real treat. That and Pink Floyd DSOTM are my two reference discs for SACD which make full use of the surround channels. I love the way that 'Dream Within A Dream' rotates clockwise around the room.

[entropy]

I remember the other day I heard Radio 2 play Guns of Navaronne and just had to turn it up.

Van Halen - Panama. Proper driving tune.

Yep, from the off. Still remember having a copy of 1984 (or was it 5150??) in my Mk2 Escort back in the late 80s...

Anyway, in addition to many already mentioned, I'll add

KLF - 3am Eternal
SOAD - Radio/Video (which my 4yo daughter loves...)
Daft Punk - Contact
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Muse - Hysteria
Small Faces - Flying

Probably loads of others, though I'll admit to not seeing the appeal of 'Duel' - just another 80s track to me.

[iva cosworth]

Only 1 from todays radio,"here comes the sun" my fave Beatles track,lyrics by George I think.......
