gema Posted February 27, 2004 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2004 I consider my car more of a journey than an automobile. It is something glorious from days far before I was even a thought, and it is a legacy in a sense, passed down from my Dad to me ( he had one back in the day). That being said...I want to try and 'experience' the Z as I would have in the 70's. So, all you old-timers...if you could pick two or three albums for me to listen to while I drive/work on the 240z, which would they be, and why? I'm entirely serious about this...music and cars are VERY spiritual to me...somehow =/ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/10417-z-music/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
2-4-T-Z-MAN Posted February 27, 2004 Share #2 Posted February 27, 2004 Not to sure about the oldtimer bit, but I remember hearing Rod Stuart singing Magie Mae every morning as I was going to school. Then there's always the Beach Boys. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/10417-z-music/#findComment-70150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTDRIVER Posted February 27, 2004 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2004 Very true. I was going to ask the members the same question but guess you brought it up. Im 23 years old and Have had four cars so far and all Z's. Started out with a 90 twinturbo, 78 280z, 93 twinturbo, and now a 73 240z. I would have yo say that I would listen to different types of music in each because of the feeling the car would give me. Now that I have the 240z, it makes me feel like playing the Stones, or any thing "oldschool" I dont know about you but I am a fan of Music from Rock to Rap to whatever hits me right. So I would have do definatly say that since I have a wide varity of tatse in music I would say whatever feeling the car gives you thats the type of music I would rock.

Bambikiller240 Posted February 27, 2004 Share #5 Posted February 27, 2004 Led Zepplin IV (ZoSo?) or ANYTHING by Pink Floyd. Early Santana albums were also a favorite. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/10417-z-music/#findComment-70164 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblake01 Posted February 27, 2004 Share #9 Posted February 27, 2004 It would be a tough list to pare down. So much great music came out of the seventies, maybe more so than any era! You mention ?Steppenwolf, Golden Earring, The Sweet, The Police . . . Great Stuff! And there is so much more. Blood, Sweat, and Tears, Free (Allright Now), Motley Crue, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Mott The Hoople, I could go on and on. (And have!)

hls30.com Posted February 27, 2004 Share #10 Posted February 27, 2004 I was thinking we make the list, and put it on a poll where members or thread participants get to pick their 15 favorites(however many a cd will hold-tons of MP3s or 15-20 Waves), and that is how they would be selected-it is a virtual CD, so nobody would get their feelings hurt if "their suggestion" didn't make the cut!Will-great, now I am humming oldies(the 70s was 30 years ago)-thanks SBlake01!!! (Aerosmith-big ten inch-lNo, let's not get into that wishfull thinking stuff!)

mdbrandy Posted February 29, 2004 Share #12 Posted February 29, 2004 When I was cruizing cross-country in my 280Z "back in the day", my favorite driving album was REO Speedwagon's double live "You Get What You Play For".
