Best Music to Drive By

I was just sitting here thinking about a 1500 mile drive I have to make, and contemplating burning a couple CDS for the drive. I found some music that would make it more interesting but not enough. So here is the question.

If you were going to drive from Phoenix to Indy, you were in a sports car, what music would you want to have on your cd?

[Enterprise]

For some blood pumping music I would also play "You Got Another Thing Coming" - Judas Priest, and "Enter Sandman" - Metallica. And for good measure, "Locomotive Breath" - Jethro Tull, and "Love Lies Bleeding in My Hand" - Elton John.

Roll me away - Bob Seeger
In your time - Also Seeger

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

LOL. In some states you are pretty safe so long as you occasionally glance at the speedometer but I just had to drive through Ohio. I swear the police wait for you at the border.

The Cure

Pink Floyd - The Wall

Blue Man Group has some great instrumentals

[GunnyHartman]

I usually like to start off with some Ol' Hank and "I'm so lonesome I could cry" and work my way up to Metallica's "Ain't My Bitch"

[Shaun_MD]

I have the ultimate driving song and I'm amazed nobody has mentioned it. Man on the Silver Mountain by Rainbow.

[Timeout]

Album, tape, CD. Whatever.

Don't be sad. Two outta three ain't bad.

[Auntbee]

Ditto on Pink Floyd. Have you heard "Pulse". I've gone through two of those, also.

[KylaStarr]

Whooooo hooooo!!! Haven't heard that one for ages! That is definately a great driving song!

[maestro]

Great Hymns of the Christian Faith are excellent listening-singing too!

I just took a 1500 mile round trip excusion to Indiana to visit a good friend...You have to utulize an ecclectic mix...

My musical menu:

1) NFL Soundtrack

2) 60s Bubblegum and folk rock

3) Old Springsteen

4) 70s Rock (Boston, Foreigner, Zepplin, Tom Petty

5) 80s Pat Benatar, Cars, The Cure, Axle Rose

6) Patton Soundtrack, John Phillips Sousa, Good, the Bad and Ugly Soundtrack, various instrumentals.

If you don't add the Doobie Brothers' "Rockin' Down the Highway" to the CD, you're a Communist sissy-boy. :o)

[Rembrandt_fan]

The same things I listen to when commuting to and from work, which often feels like a Phoenix to Indy drive: Johnny Cash, "The Man Comes Around" and "Live at San Quentin", anything by Lucinda Williams, Janis Joplin, "The Essential Janis Joplin"...

Is there such a thing as Country Blues Rock?

And to think I was a head-banger back in the day.

We also like to listen to books on CD when we're traveling.

[jammer]

Cyprien Katsaris playing the 9 Liszt-Beethoven symphony transcriptions.

[Michael.SF.]

OK, you got me going on this one. Individual song set:

Hank Snow - "I've Been Everywhere"
(alt. Version Johnny Cash)

Duane Eddy - "40 miles of Bad Bad Road"

Bob Dylan - "Highway 61"

Nat King Cole - "Route 66"

Alan Jackson - Crazy bout a Mercury"

[JMS]

Johnnie Cash Live from Folsom Prison, Elvis, Roy Orbison, Eddie Cochran.

[ccmay]

Fountains of Wayne.

"Little Red Light" is the best driving song I've heard in a while.

Also try the Shins, Dave Matthews Band, Green Day.

Of course they are all commie filth, but that doesn;t detract from their music. Shut up and sing!
