For the past few weeks, these CDS have been stuck in my car:

Kinks - Face to Face
Trainspotting soundtrack
Hum - Downward is Heavenward
Le Tigre
Eek-a-Mouse - four albums on 2 CDS

Overall, though, I think my car's favorite album is Rubber Soul. :smile:

 

I just bought Fu Manchu's double live CD "Go For It...Live".

SoCal stoner rock at it's finest. And songs like "Hell on Wheels", "Asphalt Risin'", "Boogie Van", and "King of the Road" were made to be Motored to. Although you should probably be in a '70's muscle car to do it in..

 

Hey chrisnl,

Is your MINI named "Boognish"?

Just a question.


:smile:

 

>>What about The Little Guy tune. I ripped the audio off a commercial for the new MINI that was in quicktime. I think the commercial was done by MINI of Canada.


Yeah I wish I knew the name of that song! I wanted to play it in my car so badly the second I was the commercial.

>>Apokalyptica
>>or Freddie Aguilar

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are great, I love the cover versions they do.

Goldfinger puts on the best shows, I've been to about 10 of them and they always
tear it up.

Apokalyptica dark euro hardcore refined is always a pleasure

DUDE FREDDIE AGUILAR! I gotta give you props that is straight hardcore pinoy bro.

I'm messing with you, much love, much love.

 

Beach Boys 409....I have forgiven them for not using a 409 for the engine sound at the beginning of the song.

Anything by Booker T and the MG's

Stick Shift by The Duals, (no one's heard of this?)

Hot Rod Lincoln. I actually like Asleep at the Wheel's version better than Commander Cody.

Wooly Bully, Sam the Sham.

Louie Louie, The Kingsmen

 

^^Hot rod Lincoln is one of my all time favorites, but I gotta have Bill Kirchen's gittar so its Commander Cody for me

 

Anthing George Thorogood
Anything Herb Albert
Techno/Trance
and sometimes I bust out the Hendrix.

 

anything michael jackson..

or if not MJ, then twista, fabolous, DMX, Eminem, P Diddy, Nelly, Nas...y'all hate all this stuff im sure, but i love it!!!

 

C'mon..... Geez.... Not a single Pink Floyd fan.....What's the world coming to.....

Comfortably Numb will be the first song I play in my 04 MCS

You took the words right out of my mouth !!

 

Wow, so many good suggestions, though I notice a real Southern California influence. I'm awaiting delivery of mine and have been considering what to play first on the drive home. London Calling was a suggestion I like. My plan, though, is to start with a somewhat rare old Yardbirds tune, The Train Kept a Rollin. Jeff Beck really rocks on it and it is soooo 60s. null

 

Hmm...lately it's been:
-great house mix double cd set called Paris Lounge 2
-Junior Senior
-Blondie
-50 cent (he is adorable!!)
-old school Notorious B.I.G.
-the new Cardigans
-Tricky
-a great French r&b cd that Orfeu made for me!


Erin

 

"The Riddle" - Nik Kershaw

Yfoiler

 

Just got "Super Sound" by Pepe Deluxe...its made me shut of the iPod for a couple days...

Very hip stuff...outrageous samples

...and I too am a fan of the floyd (especially Meddle and Animals)

>>Just a question.

Woops, I sort of forgot about this thread and didn't see your question. My car doesn't have a name, but if it did, Boognish would be a pretty likely choice.

I saw Ween Tuesday on the New Hampshire shore, and it rocked!

This week my MINI is featuring Yellowman, the Dead Milkmen, and Le Tigre (still! it's great motoring music, I swear!).
