Punk on the way down ... Ramones, Buzzcocks and Undertones will feature heavily.
Once there the PC music machine goes on random and it's fairly much lucky dip. 10p\cents in the pot everytime you demand a track is skipped .... cash gets changed up once back and starts next year's beer fund.
Chill out grooves for the drive home.

Can't beleive I'm first to do this?
The music will start with that metalic scretch as the starter engages.
A blast of thunder from the exhaust that soon settles to a low rumble from the distance as the cams clatter out their tune like a machine gun on full auto.
As the cam clatter receeds to a soft Adagio, the exhaust lifts itself to a gentle Cantabile which Canons as the shrill whir from the gears rises in Chorale harmony until top is reached.
Suddenly the accomponiment of high pitched sirens joins the cacophony of sound. Blue lights, Impromptu, try their hardest to engage the Ensemble as a PA blasts out a Mezzo Oratorio order to stop!
The Operetta now holds a Fermata, as I take the Grave decision!
Modulation of the Monotone Movement is required.
The Fith is dropped in Portamento as a Prelude to the Finale about to be played out.
My feet play a Scherzo on the pedals as the Staccato from the exhaust indicates my intentions.
Off we go, as the Tempo rises Accelerando to a new Crescendo of sound.
A new Exposition now plays out, Triple time, as the scean blurs with a Serenade of Trill Verismo.
Distance dulls the Audio accompaniment that rudely distracted the piece, as the Unison of level now reaches a Vivace Virtuoso of sound.
A smiles Sharp, crosses my face as the needle passes 8 score and twenty!
Freedom flits its absent face across the screen as I press on to the music we all dream to hear in a Rondo of mechanical Ricercar.
On the other hand I think I'll just put on Bat out of Hell!

Some stuff that I didn't understand, but at least it was interesting...
... Whereas everyone else's selections were, with one or two exceptions (Al Wilson - niiiice), dull and predictable. Bland pop, bloated hippy/prog and movie soundtracks - yawn.I realise that the above could be thought of as slightly provocative, and, of course, will put my own selections up for very close scrutiny and probable ridicule, but c'mon guys, pretty much everyone's gonna be listening to something on the way down so what's the point of posting on this thread unless wot your listening to is interesting?
For my own part I shall be attempting to introduce some of the relevant modern technology into my car to enable me to listen to some old mix-tapes I have lying around.
At some point the sounds may well flow something along the lines of (and I hesitate to admit this now):
Maynard Ferguson; Awright, Awright.
Erwin Lehn Orchestra; Color.
Som Tres; Homonagem a mongo.
Pharoah Sanders; Gotta have freedom.
Mark Murphy; Vera Cruz.
Freddy Hubbard; Red Clay.
... and then maybe Bat Out Of Hell.
You Brits have weird music taste. 70's rock is just so.. 70's rock. You might as well buy a Ford Escort to go with the untastefullness 
Just joking, whatever floats your boat.
I'll be looking more in the region of the following artist(s);
Sébastien Léger - Hypnotized
Télépopmusik - Breathe
Groove Armada - Superstylin'
Röyskopp - What else is there
Röyskopp - So Easy
etc. etc.

Just scanning through my playlist and there's everything from the Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Grateful Dead, Oasis, Elvis Presley, Joe Satriani all the way through to ZZ Top.
Also a few 'surprises' in there to annoy the passengers
There is one tune which, if played often and loudly enough, they'll all be singing away quietly to themselves by the end of the weekend... Gassing Station | Le Mans | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
