Greatest hits ( the Gipsy Kings )

 

 

When my daughter turned sixteen, I burned a CD for her car. (I put it in the CD player the night before she drove off to school all by her self, so it was a surprise.) The only criterion was it had to have something about cars. (That's why Miss America Pie made it.) Another criterion was no songs about crashes! (So no "Deadman's Curve" or "Leader of the Pack.") The disc has come to be known as "Car Toons" in our household, and we burned it for our nieces and nephews and our daughter's friends when they've all gotten their licenses.

Here are the tracks, in order:

Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
Beach Boys - Little GTO
The Playmates - Beep Beep (The Little Nash Rambler)
Beatles - Drive My Car
Rolling Stones - Route 66
Beach Boys - Fun, Fun, Fun
Don McLean - Miss American Pie
Commander Cody - Hot Rod Lincoln
Beach Boys - 409
Bruce Springsteen - Cadillac Ranch
Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz
Beach Boys - The Little Old Lady from Pasadena
Wilson Pickett - Mustang Sally
Beach Boys - I Get Around
Bruce Springsteen - Pink Cadillac
Chuck Berry - Maybellene
John Mayer - Why, Georgia?
Jan & Dean - Hey, Little Cobra
Chuck Berry - No Particular Place To Go
Shania Twain - In My Car (I’ll Be The Driver)
Tracy Chapman - Fast Car
Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe
Prince - Little Red Corvette
ZZ Top - Lowrider
Willie Nelson - On the Road Again

The 80s are under-represented. I wish I had enough room for "Cars" by Gary Numan and "Drivin'" by Pearl Harbor & The Explosions. And I did have enough room for the theme song from "Speed Racer" but just forgot to put it on.

I burnt the same CD for Tillie - the first CD she played! - but I had enough room to squeeze in "My Money's on the Little Guy" (from the "Small is Deceptive" ad) as the first track.

Her favorite on the whole CD? "Baby You Can Drive My Car."

Mine? Gotta be "Born to be Wild"!

the dead...:smile:

 

Tillie seems to prefer what I call my "late Beatles" MP3 disc: Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, MM Tour, White Album, Abbey Road. Always seems to drive a little smoother, a little peppier. I can tell she's a Brit!

BIG BAND MUSIC!


Count Basie

"Kill 'Em All" - Metallica
"Quadrophenia" - The Who

Recently I've been listening to the Ozzfest Summer Sampler, just for something different.

 

Some bands/Artists that fall into the category;

Coldplay
Stereo Lab
Elvis Costello
The Shins (new for me- New Slang specifically.)
Johnny Cash
Soundtrack to Ocean's Eleven
Sinatra

All have played faithful co-pilot. The list could be far more extensive as I'm sure it could for most of you.

 

I'd say:
Bob Marley-Natural Mystic
Darude-Sandstorm
????

 

Basically any Bob Marley song!!!

All of you are thinkin' STONER!
Never have been and never will be. i just like Bob Marley and Reggae because it's relaxing, anyone else agree??

 

I also like those '80's songs, have quite a few of 'em. Hey it's the decade I was born in!!!!
Cars-Gary Numan
Flock of Seagulls - I Run So Far Away
Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night
Cutting Crew - I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight
Scarface Soundtrack - Push It to the Limit
a remake: nelly - suit - n dey say
and my personal favorite:Styxx - Mr. Roboto
domo arigato mr roboto!!!
Man I'm screwed up!!

 

Yeah, right... STONER

Been listening to the Frou Frou album lately Track 1 is awesome.
And the Garden State soundtrack.

 

I now like:
Mario-Let Me Love You

this is comin' from a kid who's only had 3 girlfriends, I hopin' my MCS will improve my odds on landin' a new one!!!!!!

 

deep hard drum and bass


anything intelligently electronic

no matter the genre it all sounds good in the MINI

it helps to have 800 watts too though.

 

My wife's a belly dancer, and I play doumbek and a little oud. I really like the "ethno techno" stuff coming out of France and Japan, things that go under names like "ethnic lounge" and "asian massive" and "arabesk." Labels like Six Degrees and Putumayo and Dakini. (Especially Dakini - ever heard of Makyo?)

I've found some good sources of this kind of music on Internet radio. Does any of this stuff end up on Sirius or XM or Delphi? If I could find enough of it, that might be enough to convince me to install satellite radio in my car!
