Try anything from the Beastie Boys - Illcommunication CD. besides the typical Beastie Boys stuff there's some really cool instrumentals and some good stuff that's similar to Sabotage, there's two hardcore fast driving tracks called Tough Guy and Heart Attack Man.
If you like ambient dance with deep bass try an album called Behind The Sun from UK group Chicane. It's fairly mellow electronic ambient dance, but not as mellow as Deep Forest or Enigma. A great CD for a Sunday drive in the country.
I've also just bought the Ministry Of Sound 2003 Annual. if you're into dance then you'll love this one 2 cds of great stuff mixed by great DJ's. You've got to be in the mood for it though.

Keep Groovin.

 

... one of my personal fav's : MINI Engine In Full Song by MINI Cooper
Radio? we don't need no stinkin radio!
humphrey bogart? sierra mod ... oh, never mind ...

 

I Heard It Through The Grapevine by the Slits.
Remakes that outdo the originals.
In the latest AARP magazine. Seriously.

 

K....... So I didn't scroll through all the postings, but has anyone mentioned " NINE INCH NAILS"??

 

There are soooo many...

Swingy Jazz... anything by Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Louis Prima, Nat King Cole..

Gypsy Kings is good too.... but do not, and I repeat, do not listen to it over and over again. You'll start going crazy. It is a great once in a while record.

Anything by Prince. Who doesn't like Prince??

Marvin Gaye.... Let's get it on.

And I think that NINE INCH NAILS is too much in the Hate Music category. MINI people should be HAPPY in their MINI rather than thinking head like a hole.

 

These are great, people, please keep them coming! I'm building a nice library of mixes here.

Speaking of mixes, does anyone have any interesting DJ mixes to suggest? One of my faves is a mix of "Music" and "Funky Cold Medina", it rocks.

 

Mark,

If you want some pretty good mixes do a bearshare (or other Napster Clone) for some Thunderpuss mixes. These two DJ's out of (?)CA mixed up some pretty good tunes. Everything from Whitney "I don't do drugs" Houston to Leanne Rhimes to Enrique Inglesies to J. Lo and Mary J Blidge. Some of it is pretty good crap.

Another "get your blood going" song I downloaded recently is Downfall by Trusted Company. For some reason I see myself tearing off a hugh cliff while on skiis when I listen to this song (sorry been watching Warren Miller ski movies lately).

Motor on, loudly

 

***** Alot by the Fuggs. (NYC sixties band)
Big hit.

 

>>Anything by Prince. Who doesn't like Prince??
>>

Me.

 

>>I may be dating myself, but I recently picked up the Doobie Brothers' CD "Doobie's Choice" and the first track "Divided Highway" is awesome for the road song. Check it out.
>>
>>P.S. L.Mini you're a doll face!! I like your Mini too!
>> >> cuny, you maybe dating yourself but i used to be their pilot of the doobie liner and the crewbie liner. most of their songs are made for driving. mcs brg i maybe a old fart but im still driven my soul with spirit.

 

My favorites for driving:
James Brown (specifically Cold Sweat, but anything will do)
Howlin Wolf (when I put this on my voice is gone by the time I get to work!)
Jayhawks
The Mother Hips
The Crystal Method
Woman on Top Soundtrack
Toots Thielemans (the Brasil Album)
Theloneous Monk
Little Feat (Waiting for Columbus, or ANYTHING by them)
Portishead
Radiohead

 

I haven't gotten the last few songs recommended here. Well, I finally got cable broadband. Time for some serious downloading!!!!

 

depends on what kind of driving mood you're looking for.... but

daytime fun:
kruder and dorfmeister
underworld
dieselboy
LTJ bukem
squarepusher ... maybe? if you want to drive like a spastic nut =) =)
any carl *** mixes ...find some good live boots!

for nighttime cruising:
boards of canada
akufen
massive attack
VNV nation

electroclash is well on its way out, but, check out the newest Ladytron anyway, it's stuck in my CD player right now... lots of fun

How about Queen's I'm In Love With My Car
