Good driving music....your recommendations!

[sunhuntin]

righty....lookin for inspiration here guys...whats some of your favourite highway music? just watched the cars movie and discovered brad paisley, also like tom cochrane [life is a highway]. prefer soft rock/country type stuff, not too dull, not too loud [ie, no dixie chicks or iron maiden etc]

INSPIRE ME! :Punk:

[Drum]

Judas Priest - Heading out to the highway:spudguita

Kraftwerk - Autobahn

[Squeak the Rat]

Hard house is great...if you want to lose your licence. Leftfield (leftism) is great groooove music. Deep Purple - Highway Star or Space Trucking are both brilliant.

but as per your specs...

Steve Miller Band, Bad Company, Lyrnrd Skynrd, BTO etc are all middle of the road but rocking enough to keep the juices flowing.

[Steam]

Canned Heat - "On the road again" and all the rest of their Best Of album. Mellow yet groovy and driving.

Yes Indy, we all know you are obsessed with top gun, days of thunder and anything else from a decade you were too young to remember or experience properly.

You forgot "Cocktail" :D

Hey man, it's just good music and movies :sunny:

-Indy

[Gwinch]

Sisters Of Mercy - A Slight Case Of Overbombing. Infectious gothic synthrock melodies you'll soon be nodding in your head in time to.
Soundgarden - Superunknown. Just plain good rock.
Dandy Warhols - The Dandy Warhols Come Down. Bohemian rhapsody (not the song).
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms. Sombre rock; appreciate the talent.
Depeche Mode - Ultra. Care for a bit of dark synthpop?
Portishead - Dummy. Laid back jazz hop. I could listen to Beth's voice for decades. A bit more sullen than the rest.
Queens of The Stone Age - Queens of The Stone Age. The new Soundgarden? Sweet Jesus, these guys are good.
The Mars Volta - De-loused in The Comatorium. They trascend a label but I'll try anyway. Progressive heavy jazz rock? Throw in a touch of Spanish influence for good measure.
Beck - Mutations. He doesn't release albums unless his lyrics make sense. Yeah right. Good easy listening, though.
Jane's Addiction - Strays. Why did they have to break up again? *cry* My person favourite. A good chance it'll be yours too soon if you give them a chance.

... and I'll think of more later.

edit: If you want my favourite songs from each album as a sampler, just ask. :)

[xwhatsit]

Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Julian Adderley, Sonny Rollins, Lee Morgan...

Oh wait, you want normal music? Sorry :lol:.

[Nutter34]

Offspring, Collective soul, Live, Sisiters of Mercy, Nirvana, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Metallica, U2, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Marilyn Manson....

[Craig11]

You just have to love the Top Gun Anthem.... Such an awesome piece of music.

Black Oak Arkansas is good country rock too.

[KLOWN]

A great driving CD is the double CD "Songs For My Rig" which a compilation of Country/country Rock published by Rajon Music. The catalogue number is: CDRTV0145. It's specifically compiled for driving. Some cool instrumentals too like "Diesel Smoke" by Red Rivers. There's also the classics like "Six Days On The Road" by Dave Dudley.
