Blast those car songs, baby

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

You know how it is...

Long hot summer day. You're in your car, driving down the road, the top down (or, if you're like me and you don't have a convertible, the windows down). And all you wanna do is blast some damn good music.

(I'm trying to make a CD)....what songs do you play?

(I know someone posted a similar thread in ETYKIW, but I'm extending this outside the U2-only range)..

Thanks!

 

[adamswildhoney]

R&R:
Carlos Santana-Anything by him
Led Zeplin- Anything by them
Jimi Hendrix- Foxy Lady
Lynard Skynard- Sweet Home Alabama

Rap/Hip-Hop:
DMX-We right here
Snoop Dogg- Gin & Juice
Nelly- Hot in Here
RunDMC- Walk this Way

Other:

[zonelistener]

If I had a car stereo that played CDs or tapes

Ride - Nowhere (good for a rainiy day)

 

[OzAurora]

I think you need big guitars for this kind of driving- man o man I love driving in Summer- just love cruising down the highway, with the window down (I only use my air-con on the really hot days) and listening to some groovy tunes,

you just got to listen to In God's Country- perfect cruising song,

and I find that anything kinda heavy is good to listen to - like a bit of Jane's Addiction, Tool or on another levle a bit of nice techno- something trancey of course like a Ministry of Sound 'Clubbers Guide To Trance'!

Bring on Summer- I cant wait!!!!!

'summmm......ahhhhhhh!'

 

[madonna's child]

You know, I hate when 99% of the world's drivers blast they're music. But I do it whenever possible.

I consider it educatating the public.

Oh oh I like Tool-Sober and Stinkfist and Janes Addiction- Been caught stealing and Jane says.

 

[ghetofabu]

I sing allot in the car to almost every type of song. I try to do it on the highway most times so I don't look like some of those people at stop lights that I see who look like they are talking to themselves. My most recent sing along song is:

Complicated by Avril Lavigne.

I think some one else has talked about her in here. I went and bought the album the other day and it is pretty cool.

 

[unforgettableFOXfire]

Heavier Songs:
Metallica - Fuel
Metallica - Die Die Die my Darling
Kid Rock - Cocky (yeah Im sure that wont be a popular choice with all the rabid kid rock haters around here lol)
KISS - I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night (and party every day!)
Disturbed - Down with the Sickness
AC DC - Highway to Hell
Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It! (or any cover of this song)
System Of A Down - (Im not sure what to suggest... I want to say Toxicity, and Sugar, I fear that Spiders and Needles could be too laid back... although Needles would be a good choice too, Sugar may not be the best choice)

Laid Back songs:
Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway
Tom Petty - You Dont Know How it Feels
Tom Petty - Runnin Down A dream
Garbage - Androgyny (this is a great song, no matter what youre doing)


Ill continue this later, I gotta go out... lol
