Another great one...

You can hear him jam with Gov't Mule on "The Deepest End"CD.His slide guitar work on 30/20 Blues is something to behold.That's where I got introduced to his music.

[stbdside]

Fahrenheit Project Part 5, and anything by Steve Roach

[jwh_Denver]

Tina Turner's greatest hits. And of course, anything by The Beatles for nice sing along songs.

[judgeandjury]

I never go anywhere without my Hilary Duff CDs (just kidding!).

[arasina]

I'm not laughing. I like all kinds of music. I dance while I'm driving, though. LOL

[stbdside]

Cool. Another Tangerine Dream listener. Stratosfear is awesome, but my favorites are Phaedra, Rubycon, and Ricochet.

Baroque music, for some reason, gets on my nerves while I'm driving! It's great for relaxing at home while reading a good book and drinking something other than Zinfandel (couldn't resist, sorry).
But at 70+ MPH, I like the raw emotive power of Beethoven, Bruckner, and the Russian composers, especially the piece by Shostakovitch. It's fun to pass cars and trucks and dodge deer and possums while pretending to be a saber-wielding cossack scattering peaceful peasants in the Palace Square!

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Have you heard Roy Rogers’ Slideways CD???

Dear GadareneDemoniac,

"Baroque music, for some reason, gets on my nerves while I'm driving!"

Really? I love it! All the time! I have no problem doing 80 while listening to it.

I don't really get a lot out of the Russians, usually.

Oh, don't worry, by classical, we mean, "The Greatest Music of the Last Thousand Years."

hey!...what a coincidence....that's my kind of classical!

[rvoitier]

From Louisiana I've driven to Montreal, Aspen, Miami and L.A. and the driving music that comes to mind is, "Takin' It To The Streets" by the Doobie Brothers.

[WhirlwindAttack]

Bif Naked, Clutch, Saliva, Supersuckers, Hot action cop.
kazaa those bands and burn a cd or two.
Happy Driving!

My best travel companion is my MP3 with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, George Thorogood' Bob Seger and (surprise?) Norah Jones. She plays a guitar too.

Wow. John Hiatt mentioned hi up in the thread. I absolutely love the guy. Marc Cohn, too. Gonna be seeing them both in the next few weeks.

I would have to add David Gray, too.

[hoppity]

Little Feat's "Let it Roll" is great for driving. Any of their stuff is.

Ian Moore's first album (that I know of) is good, too. Changes pace to keep you awake.
