Best driving music.
I'm not a car audio buff, nor am I a huge traveler, but in the northeast we've had beautiful weather the last couple days and I've been REALLY enjoying The Allman Brothers. Man, the fresh air blowing though the car and Blue Sky cranking on the radio, does it get any better than this? What do you like to listen to on a great Saturday, just cruising with the top down?

Nightcall - Kavinsky, Lovefoxxx That's all tracks from "Drive" film, I think they are the best. I really like listening them and drawing some arts retro neon colors using this tool https://create.vista.com/colors/color-names/neon-blue/ It's really satisfying! |

John Mayall.. Prisons on the road Every street is choking Looks like too much traffic on the road No fun in driving You wait in line forever just to go Heavy roar of engines Sitting in your prisons on the road Everybody's rushing Is it so important to be so Where's it going to lead to If all the rushing leads to moving slow Heavy roar of engines Sitting in your prisons on the road Poison from your engine Merges with the air we've got to breathe Look at that congestion Don't it make you want to pack and leave Thoughts you've been having Sitting in your prisons on the road This was written circa 1970, we have gone from a prison to hell.

LOL! C'mon Blaine, lighten up! I'm just messing with you. Actually, I don't drive a whole lot anymore. I still enjoy The Allman Brothers, Skynard, Marshall Tucker, etc on long rides, especially in good weather. To be honest, and I hope this doesn't get my audionut card revoked, I listen to the news station during my daily 12 minute commute. Sad......I must be getting old....... PS: I think I used 'Best' because I was relatively new here and I was posting the thread in the 'Best Of' Forum. Your thread titled favorite is probably a better choice. There, does that make you happy? |
John, great thread! Hadn't seen this before. Interesting choice of word - "best." You could have used "favorite," like I probably would LOL. Okay, on those long stretches of I-5 between Sacto and LA I'd have to agree with your choice of the Allman Brothers, especially Brothers and Sisters. Or the Eagles. Mainly because I drove that span regularly in the 70s and 80s and I wore out those cassettes. Or Toy Caldwell (Marshall Tucker). Wet Willie or Elvin Bishop. Maybe Norton Buffalo. Definitely Roy Buchanan. Brubeck, Getz, Jimmy Smith and lots of CTI jazz - Grover, Eric Gale, Ron Carter. Straight ahead stuff for an uninspiring stretch of highway. Now I rarely drive those long distances, sticking mainly to well known roads here in the NW. For Chuckanut I'd prefer Hendrix, especially Electric Ladyland. For the Cochahalla I like speed music, from Dixie Dregs to Bill Frisell to Fabulous T-Birds, especially at night. Here on The Island it could be just about anything... Those are the Best. And don't ever 'been there, done that' to me again... Hah. |
I propose that all car audio systems be permanently set to play soothing classical music (Beethoven might be particularly good). I'm convinced that this might quell the rising tide of road rage, since I'm sure that this is partly to do with all of the aggressive music being blasted by the car audio systems. |
