Driving Music

[superheavyrhun]

Evening All,

Greetings of the season yadda yadda yadda.

I was driving from my office to my parents house tonight for Christmas, and listened to a 2CD set of the Rat Pack live. Singing along, laughing at a few of the jokes, cringing at a few of the racist ones aimed at Sammy Davis Jr, but generally it was quite a nice soundtrack to drive to.

Generally I love Bruce Springsteen's greatest hits, a Bon Jovi live album or some old school rap depending on how long I'm going to be in the car for.

What do you like to play for a long drive?

[chinchekked]

Tony Toni Tone........ I have about 10 tracks from their collection that I find myself playing at least twice when I am taking long drives. Don't know why but I just do.

My cd player doesnt work, niether does the speedometer

[Spicoli]

Pretty flexible with driving tunes. Last time back from Austin it was Tom Waits. Truth be told halfway across the Bonnie carrie spillway I thought I was going to drive into the swamp

Lost of good ones in there, a few I'm not so keen on, and a few I haven't heard of. Generally, you're probably better car company than one of my friends who has a Christmas playlist of some 300 songs which is on in his car from mid November to January every year. A trip with him is truly hellish.

Thanks, it's hard to make a playlist which all like, but i'm glad you liked a few. Haha i know what you mean, christmas songs is okay for 2-3 weeks. that's the kind of people you rather pay for a taxi then having a ride with them.

i got this friend who listens to techno, trance and with max volume and max bass so the whole car shakes. there is no way you can have a normal conversation in his car.

I go for stuff from this playlist more than the others Ive saved for cruising.

I do like a bit of Stevie Wonder, and seeing Cee Lo Green at the end there was a bit of a surprise. Might have to check a few of those out, as quite a few names on there I'm not too familiar with. On my drive back down south this morning I'll be listening to the latest cd by Scroobius Pip v Dan Le Sac, which was in my stocking.



I'm guessing its probably going to be an acquired taste based on this vid...
