For me, it's Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young, as the top three, followed up by the Cure, Police, and a lot of other stuff.

Like others, more than with any other car I've owned, I keep the radio off to just listen to the car.

 

My favorite driving music songs are:

1. That Air Sucking Sound by Alta and the Cold Air Intakes
2. Hear that Whine by the Boosted Superchargers
3. Oh What an Exhaust Note by Milltek and the Catbacks

 

Old school here -

Albert King, B.B. King, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Pinetop Perkins, Albert Lee, Alvin Lee, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winters. I plug in the mp3 player with 5-6 gb of blues music files and let it role!!!

 

Techno is always good, just not too much of it. A nice mix of techno and stuff with a deep bass for me.

 

" I can't drive 55 " immediately comes to mind

 

+1 It just sounds so beautiful when when you hear everything working in sync

 

Well, I've really only got one good driving song and that's Gasoline by Kicking Harold. Some may know it as the theme song to Overhaulin' on TLC. Nothing better than pulling up to a red light blasting this song. Make sure you're driving alone when this song comes on...you just may want to break someone's face off.

Kenny Loggins-Danger Zone (Top Gun) is pretty cool too.

Other than that and a bunch of music pleasing to the ear (like Matt Wertz, Dave Barnes, John Mayer) I just ride listening to the MINI.

 

early Rollin Stones - Route 66, Little Red Rooster

Bruce "the boss" Springsteen- Racing in the Streets, Badlands, Thunder Road, Spirits in the Night, Lost in the Flood, Wreck on the Highway, "Backstreets, Born to Run...(you get the idea)

Jimmy Hnedrix - Cross Town Traffic, All along the Watchtower

Golden Earring - Radar Love

 

XM72 Beyond Jazz

 

For long-haul highway driving you just can't beat the "geezers" - bands like Creedence Clearwater, The Stones, non-mesmerizing Techno like Kraftwerk ("Autobahn" if you can find it), anything that holds a steady, hard rhythm. If you're really looking for something hard to find but great to listen to while driving, I'd recommend an old band called "Joy of Cookin'".

 

I like to show off my amazingly crappy dance skills so I listen to Cascada's "Miracle". Thats pretty sweet. Benny Bannasi, you can't beat "Satisfaction". Madonna and Shakira work very well along with the spoiler to the dance party and my recent favorite, Motley Crue. Try "Kickstart My Heart", "Wild Side", and "Same Old Situation" blared. Very good. I use the Crue when my hips are lying.

 

Ok, here goes nothing. I have one CD that goes like this:::

Chemical Brothers
Clubbed to Death - from Matrix soundtrack
Don't Worry 'Bout a Thing - Bob Marley (I play this if I need to calm down and slow down)
Jump Around - House of Pain
Spirit in the Sky
Stuck in the Middle With You - Bob Dylan (think scene from Reservoir Dogs)
Natural One - Folk Implosion
New World Order - Ministry
Respect - Pantera
A few of Marilyn Manson Songs (can't NOT speed to Beautiful People)
A few Mudvayne Songs
How's THAT for an Eclectic mix?

 

Bush - Razorblade Suitcase

Queen - Classic Queen

Blood, Sweat, and Tears - Greatest Hits

 

Can I borrow some of your mixes???
