Driving Music...

Mr Escanlon

Music taste is tops - especially Pink Floyd and the Allan Parson Project and Jethro Tull and.........

You did not mention Emerson Lake and Palmer adding a dash of Iron Butterfly - Inagadddavida - yum yum

:cheeky:

no running car yet so heres my garage music. what can I say? I'm a ween freak! abou 75% of the time anyway - the ton of bootlegs and b-sides/out-takes discs I have keep me going. if you haven't heard them see my main homepage for an mp3 download of the week (now playing Sweet Texas Fire). if not that, I'm listening to Moistboyz(!!!), Morphine, anything by Les Claypool, anything by Richie Hawtin, the classic rock station or National Public Radio.

Phew, my tastes vary like the weather, However thankfully I have a musical selection just as diverse.

Generally though I have to say my favorite stuff to pound the pavement to is def zep (especially 06-27-69 Playhouse theater London) , anything PRE 72 floyd, def the dead, Allman Brothers, and gov't mule.

Being a taper, I have had the pleasure to build a live musical archive that needed the second bedroom of the house.

Here;s a link if anyone is interested in what's in the archivearchive link

I'm with Enrique on his choices, plus 38 Special, Bob Seger, ZZ Top, REO, Bryan Adams, Eagles, and a few more I can hardly remember.....

Ah, the "good old days"... biggest worry was how to pool enough money to buy a six-pack and put enough gas in the tank to cruise half the night....

The music of the radials singing to the tune of the exhaust! No better sound.

[kmack]

Hmmm.... this could get long, but I'll try to keep it short.

Started out I had no radio in my car so it was just the scream of a tightly-wound L6!

But now....

Hard-Rock: Metallica, Rob (White) Zombie, Powerman 5000, Godsmack, Disturbed, P.O.D., Nickleback

Some Country (only in the garage, though)

Classic Rock: Rush, Aerosmith, Van Halen, AC/DC, Jimmy Hendrix, more AC/DC, more Rush

Old-School Punk: Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedy's (unfortunately all I have left is on vinyl )

now that my z is running fine again i am listening to alice in chains, van halen and some local heros- hootie and the blowfish.

[EScanlon]

38 Special, Bob Seger, ZZ Top, REO, Bryan Adams, Eagles, and a few more I can hardly remember.....

DITTO! But there are so many to remember.

Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, America all had excellent long distance driving tunes. Then there were the one/two hit wonder groups Golden Earring - Radar Love; The Night Chicago Died- Don't Recall; Billy Idol-Eyes without a face, White Wedding amongst others.

As far as complete albums, I've mentioned Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, but another good one is Meatloaf- Bat out of Hell. If you've EVER necked in a car, then you MUST root for the guy in Paradise by the Dashboard Light, and if you're married (whether good or bad) you can empathize with the follow up song Waiting for the End of Time. Although he tried to emulate the same spirit in his second album (originally named Bat INTO Hell), the songs don't have the same in your face attitude.

Sometimes a good driving tune can be due to WHERE you were, and with WHO you were with.

Christopher Cross-Sailing--I won't elucidate, but hmmmmmmm.

Early Michael Jackson-.....

Whether you agree with the choices, or have a completely opposite point of view, the key point is that a good tune in the Z can make it that much more enjoyable.

Thanks for sharing guys.

Egad, how did I forget Meatloaf?:stupid: In the days before Cd's I had to buy a new cassette about every 8 months as I'd wear that one out.......

Guess my favorite "driving" related songs would have to be:

Seger- Turn the Page

Hootie and the Blowfish- "Long Valley Road"

Seger- Mainstreet

I'm not even to the legal drinking age yet so my music naturally will make most of you others cringe and get earplugs.

Cruising:anything with a good hook or bassline (rap)

Pissed off :anything hard, fast, loud, screaming (nu metal)

to work:something I know all the words to (anything but country)

this list is vague cuz if I put specific bands ill be thrown out for listening to 'noise' or 'crap'...doesn't really matter right now cuz my '72 240 is both without a CD player (or tape for that matter) and no one speaker....it's also not tagged or legal yet so its almost ok. my '81 280 has got a sweet clarion CD/mp3 but only 3 speakers... .... i miss the days of the dakota sport with earth shattering 150+ db dual 15" bostwick HD pro subwoofers running off the audiotech 1800 mean machine amp....ha it's all going into the '72..peace

I was wondering what other music to add to my collection and there are pleanty here that I've never heard of I'll be looking for'em.

St Stephen. I know many a people that would give there first born for some of bootlegs you've got, I never could take to that. I like a good engineer on the job they can make a good player Great.
