Best songs for cruising down the road?

[wertsie]

Okay, guys, I need your help. I need to make a new U2 mixed tape for my car. As a reporter, I have to drive around quite a bit and it's nice to have great music to listen to. Post some of your favorite U2 "cruising" songs!

With this gorgeous summer weather we've been havin', I roll down the windows and blast "Wild Honey" everytime I drive.

Ooh! I hadn't even thought of that. Sounds like a great idea, and WH has such a "summery" feel to it, doesn't it?

Keep 'em coming, everyone! I can usually fit around 28 songs on a 2-hour tape.

 

[elevatedmole]

Discotheque
Do You Feel Loved
Mofo
Alex Descends Into Hell For a Bottle of Milk/Korova 1 (I think I might be alone on this one.. lol)
Zoo Station
Even Better Than The Real Thing

Alex Descends Into Hell For a Bottle of Milk/Korova 1 (I think I might be alone on this one.. lol)

Nope...I love that song! And I haven't listened to it in awhile either, so that would be great.

 

[GypsyHeartgirl]

Best highway songs, and I'm a gypsy always on the road so I know! Well anyway I like driving to these:

Beautiful Day
New Year's Day
Streets
ASOH
Ultraviolet
Acrobat

Long road with lots of miles to cover at night- put on AB and crank it up, the whole thing. Watch the highway fly by!

That?s cool wertsie, I recently made a new U2 tape as well, I use an old fashioned tape deck in my car and I love to create my own selections. This last one is great, I chose a few songs from all 4 Popmart boots I have. It went like this:

Mofo, I Will Follow, Even Better Than the Real Thing, ISHFWILF, all from S?o Paulo 01/31/1998

Gone, Discotheque, If You Wear That Velvet Dress, all from M?xico

HMTMKMKM, Mysterious Ways, Please, Streets, Mothers of Disappeared, all from Buenos Aires 02/06/1998

Last Night on Earth, One and Mrs. Sarajevo, from Sarajevo

I loved it.

I love to drive with U2 blasting


Mofo, Gone, ISHFWILF, WTSHNN, One (the live orchestra version), Elevation, Bad, Zooropa, Trash Trampoline...,Stuck in a Moment.

My suggestions:

Elevation
Until the End of the World
Mysterious Ways
Wild Honey
Bad
WTSHNN
ISHFWLF
Ultraviolet
Pride
Mofo
IWF
SBS
New Years Day

and the list can go on and on!

One word, one town, one song:

"MIAMI"

- The Zoocifer -

Ooh! That was going to be mine! Really what I listen to in the summer is all of Pop...it's the best summer album, IMO.

Oh...Just our little county paper.

But it's just for the summer. In the fall I'm going back to school, even though my editor has been asking me EVERY DAY if I want to stay!

 

[wertsie]

Some GREAT suggestions, everyone! Thanks a million!

 

[pub crawler]

Even Better Than The Real Thing is a good one.

 

[Salome]

about anything by AC/DC

U2 related - October album

 

[U2girl]

HEARTLAND - whenever i listen to it, i always feel like i'm driving on a looong road across the desert in this big American type car (like a cadillac or something) with the roof down (sort of a cabriolet touch) and U2 is in the car riding along with me!

(i know...i wish)

 

[Tech]

Here are my pics for your tape:


Zoo Station
Even Better than the real thing
Mysterious Ways
Discotheque (some may not agree)
last night on earth
Elevation
Beautiful Day
Party Girl
fire
and also if you have any remixes, I would put some in just to add some spice into the set! If you have the melon CD, I would put some remixes from that!! If you don't I can make you a copy of it!

Just have fun making your summer tape!

 

[wonsuitewhirled]

don't forget Desire

 

[NicaMom]

We just came back from a 7+ hour trip to Yosemite and brought all kind of music along, but UF and JT were the winners.
A sort of homecoming and In God's country were just perfect for the breathtaking scenery.

If God will Send His Angels
A Sort of Homcoming
Pride

 

[Tarik]

Well my suggestion:

If you're on the road nothing is more asskicking than listening to a whole live concert from the world's best band.

Especially the New Years Concert, Zoo Europa (Dublin) and , how could I forget, Popmart live from Mexico City where is on top form. Livesongs with excellent sound quality and audience participation......

What more?

 

[LuvLady]

Staring at the Sun
Gone
Last Night on Earth

I always play these in summer

That's a really cool summer job wertsie! Do you cover regular local news stories or sports news?

Anyway, here's a tune that I don't think has been mentioned - WOWY - it's awesome for night driving!

I do general type news, and also a weekly column. The last "big" story I did was about the area's historical museum.

So Cruel.

This is no contest. It's more of a "cruising" song than a "driving" song. You've got to be on an open road, without a lot of traffic, without a lot of lights or stop signs. Just roll down the window, blast the song ... it's a beautiful thing. Just try it.
