Noooooooo.

I never played my kids stuff like that in the car. They listened to what I listened to whether it was Hendrix, Ray Charles, Santana, Eagles, Motown etc.

Great fun to be had when they were toddlers by buying Kazoo's so they could be part of the Memphis Horns to the Otis Redding choons.

Now they have an appreciation of "proper music" and go to gigs with me.

I had my son singing along to God Save the Queen when he was five - no, not the national anthem, but the Pistols classic..got told I was a bad influence!!

He's now eight and has so far seen Depeche Mode and the Foo Fighters. When it was released, I went through a phase of playing DM's last Sounds of the Universe album constantly in the car which he liked, and loved the gig.

Anyway back on topic, the current stuff in residence in the cars has been two Kosheen albums Damage and Independence, both great to listen to when driving.

London Grammar 'If You Wait' hasn't left my car all year.

Hasn't left mine either, because it's on the iPod Classic in the centre console (along with several hundred other albums).

6 C D Charger in the car, current discs are disc 1 Pink Floyd Pulse 1, disc 2 Pulse 2, disc 3 best of Dire Straits, disc 4 Cream of Eric Clapton, Disc 5 own produced disc of Billy Joel live tracks from Shea Stadium C D and disc 6 Deep Purple Made in Japan .
The old focus can get a little loud at times !!!!!!!!!!

The car hard disk is on shuffle, so I never know.

I can't remember the last time I played an individual CD in the car as I've had either an Ipod or Iphone for years now.

It's mostly all compilations.

This although if I had to stick just one CD in the car it would probably be Editors - An End Has A Start.

All so true. Four of the six CD's in the changer are compilations made for the kids, aged 7 and 4. Current fave tracks are

Bohemian Rhapsody
Our Time is Running Out
She Sells Sanctuary
Sleeping Satellite
Atomic
Fun Lovin' Criminal

The other two are currently Cafe Del Mar Vol 6 and Vulture Street by Powderfinger. Last week it was Mezzanine and Ten.

Pretty much all the CDs in my car are live albums, I think five Stranglers and one Hugh Cornwell album, just because the CD player will play without breaks between tracks and the MP3 player always puts a gap in and ruins the live effect. The MP3 has a load of stuff from various sources, most recent track loaded was a shortened version of "For Richard" (or something like that) by Caravan.

Not a CD per se, but on the ipod at the moment I'm very much enjoying listening to Brothers in Arms right now

[IanMorewood]

Disney Frozen soundtrack

[AnimalMkIV]

I tend to burn CD's with multiple albums/tracks by artists to maximise playing time so;
More or less permanently in:
1 - Evil:Scarecrow "Crowcification" & "Helldog"
2 - Evil:Scarecrow "Sixty-Six Minutes Past Six" & "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Crows"
3 - Evil:Scarecrow "Galactic Hunt" & 3 live acoustic tracks done for Metal Hammer radio

also currently in:
4 - Lawnmower Deth "Mower Liberation Front" & "Ooh Crikey Its..."
5 - Mosh Pit Justice - "Justice Is Served"
6 - a mix of UK Thrash including Bludvera, Incinery, Kremated, Seregon, Evile, Morti Viventi, Desolator and Redmist Destruction.

I listen to a lot of Radio 2 but do usually put CDs on when on the way home on Friday or when I'm just in a good mood and fancy some loud guitar.

Try to vary it a bit but in reality I listen to these a lot more than most others:

AC/DC - Back in black, Black Ice, Highway to hell
G'n'R - Appetite for destruction
Airbourne - Runnin wild, Black dog barking

[robsco]

Currently in the car, I have:

Kimono My House - Sparks (40th anniversary of this album around about now, so apt)
Playland - Johnny Marr
Seven - James
The Queen Is Dead - The Smiths

The Queen Is Dead barely ever leaves the car, but I have invested in an FM transmitter recently to plug the iPod into, which has left the CD player almost redundant.

I don't know how people put up with all that kiddie stuff on the stereo, when I was little any music in the car was either mum or dads choice not mine or by bothers.

I think if I ever get to the point where something like that goes in the stereo I will remove the stereo and put another three gauges in.

[minky monkey]

iPod on random. With my taste in music it's like Russian roulette!

[HaroldBishop]

Our current line up:

CD1: Some sort of Christmas compilation CD thanks to SWMBO
CD2: Ben Howard - I Forget Where We Were
CD3: ELO - The Best Of
CD4: Top Gear's Driving Songs
CD5: Elbow - The Take Off & Landing of Everything
CD6: Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am

Never really noticed how varied that is till I wrote it down...

CD? Who on earth still uses CDs?

My car's stereo has a front USB slot (currently has a very low profile 64GB drive in it that's barely bigger than the USB plug itself) and also an SD slot (which currently has a 32GB card in it). I don't think I have ever used the CD drive nor probably ever will.

Some car radios are starting to come without a CD slot at all, making them much more shallow and easy to install. I can see that trend accelerating.

Anyway, sorry. That went a little off topic.

The answer to the question posed by the OP is "my entire MP3 collection".

Thats what I use, 64gb Sandisk USB drive. It is nothing more than a full size male USB connector with a little lump on the top of it. I think it was £30 from eBay. Though if I hadn't gone from the stock double DIN stereo to a single DIN and three gauges I'd still have a number of MP3 filled CD's in the stock unit.

[snowley]

All about Michael Buble Christams at the moment.

Doesn't get better at this time of year!!

Yup. That's the fella.

[TR4man]

History of the Eagles is the only CD I have in my daily car.

Otherwise it's music from my IPod

In the TR there is still an old push button radio which I've never got round to fixing/replacing in the 18 years I've owned the car.
