Your favorite Music while riding in cars. What i listen to in my car usually tends to be different than what i listen to when i'm at home. I like to ride with the driver's window open and my hand drifting on the wind. What do you listen to when your riding in cars? Recommendations for people are welcome as well, discovering new bands is always fun. Here's a few i'm listening to when i'm driving my car.
Call me lame, but I listen to NPR when I drive around. Car speakers are crap when I plug in my MP3 player.
Thanks Wreybies never heard them before i dould drift to those tunes. The second one had bongos. Very nice.
Interesting CT has a very Spaghetti Western/Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom vibe to it. I'll see your Siberian Folk Music and raise you with this. Saw rush in concert in 95, they only played there new album. Noone stood up, noone danced. We all wanted to hear 2112 i think. We were a bunch of ungrateful bastards that deserved to have a stake planted in our hearts that night. Rush - 2112 something i can always drive to.
Well, they're nothing new, so I'm not surprised you haven't heard them. The first album is from 2001 (17 years old now) and the second is from 2000 (18 years old now). It's amazing how time picks up speed as you get older. Those songs still feel newish to me. (born in 1970)
Born 1372, i mean 1972. I started listening to music later in my late teens, especially when i got my first car. A lot of Eagles, and then harder stuff that veered into my current favorite niche, Indie Rock. I also like the popular bands like Soundgarden and Nirvana.... Just killed a huge bug it kind of looked like a cockroach but wasnt... thank goodness no cockroaches in this house. My bug zapping vacuum best money ive spent in a long time.
Bob Seger's greatest hits is in my car now. He's one of the few rock singers I could listen to all day. When it isn't him, it's sometimes Van Morrison. If not him, the Band, or Stan Rogers (a Canadian folk singer I could listen to all week), or Archie Fisher, or Harmonium, or Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, or Dire Straits (I could listen to Mark Knopfler play guitar all month), or The Who's Quadrophenia. Or Jethro Tull from the 70s. Or Yes from the early 70s. Or just about anything from the blessed late 60s to mid 70s.
You said the magic word minstrel. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, when they played that at Arrowhead Stadium in '94 it. gave. me. chills. Everyone was singing it at the same time, the best collective human consciousness moment of my life. I've seen Jethro in concert he did that creepy aqualung... I'll refresh myself on the rest it's been awhile. I just discovered Royal Blood so i'm going to turn the dial up to 11 in the car for awhile and jam out to them... Maybe it's the serial killer in me, I love it when a band gets me.
If you guys like Wish You Were Here, then you'll probably appreciate this live acoustic version (of the title track) from Dave Gilmour.
Thanks Solar there's one reason I don't listen to too much Pink Floyd. My family might be saying something like this, "What's she been doing?" "Listening to Pink Floyd for months! She hasn't come out of that room in all this time! C'mon we've gotta break the door down and do an intervention. Watch out for Suzie ok? She'll try and knock us out with her guitar." My eyes weren't dry watching that acoustic rendition. I love David Gilmour in a house, with a mouse, here or there, anywhere. In a box, with a fox... I love David Gilmour anywhere.
*Grips the table tightly in front of her, bites her lip drawing blood* Your not playing fair solar! Ok ok ok I can do this... *cracks neck, presses play* What happened to me during that song was not pg-13...
Nail on the head Wreybies i was wondering when people would make that connection you win the internet today mon frere.
Yikes! Never saw that movie. I have a character named Sharon in my story that has to go through this. Yeoww! Not looking forward.
you have the most interesting taste CT I dont think i can play this song while driving my car, she runs like a peach. I dont want her to think i'm sending negative ASMR affirmations. My newest addition for me is a band i hadn't heard of, they're getting a permanent add to my car playlist. I wonder why?
If I have this on anywhere near the home stretch, the urge to pass home and go round the block always overwhelms. It's a weird song, a lullaby in tone yet it wakes and energises me.
Thom Yorke has one of those voices I can only listen to one song at a time. I mean, one song a week, maybe. I find his vocals kind of ugly and annoying. Even if he has a good song, his voice drags it down into the muck. I wish someone else in Radiohead would take over as lead singer.
