OMG! Thought I was the only one that enjoyed the soundtrack to that movie! ;P

Hmm, surprised no one has really touched on any symphonic/classical music. Let's see what else:

Imperial March - Williams (Star Wars)
The Asteroid Field - Williams (Empire Strikes Back)
Ride of the Valkyries - Wagner
William Tell Overture - Rossini

And lest you think I'm a classical music snob:

I Can't Drive 55 - Sammy Hagar
I Drove All Night - Cindy Lauper
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cindy Lauper
Learning to Fly - Pink Floyd
Someone to Love - Boogie Pimps
CCCP - American Soviets
Love Is Only a Feeling - The Darkness (My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel)
Never Let Me Down Again - Depeche Mode
Electric Avenue - Eddie Grant
Life (feature NaNa) - E-type
The Way - Fastball
Atomic Dog - George Clinton & Parliament
Slow Ride - Fog Hat
Lunatic Fringe - Red Rider
Longsight M13 - Ian Brown
How to Be Invisible - Kate Bush
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
So Alive - Love and Rockets
Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meat Loaf
In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry
Hotride - The Prodigy
I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred
Storm - Storm
Straight Ahead - Tube & Berger (feat. Chrissy Hynde)
Ride With Me - The Vines
Duke of Earl - Gene Chandler
South Side - Moby

And I second the vote on Benny Goodman's Sing, Sing, Sing. That's one of my favorite ever tunes.

 

Well...taking delivery next week (fingers crossed) and when I first test drove and learned that the vinyl (which i have to get b/c vegetarian & don't wear/buy leather) was called "leatherette" made plans to make sure the mp3 was loaded with The Normals' "Warm Leatherette"!! Being in Memphis I have a feeling I'll have days when it is a bit more tham warm though!!! hehe

But the rest....gotta love drum & bass and turn it WAY up (spent the extra $ on the speakers , right?!?!)
Unfinished Symphony - Massive Attack
Centepod - Noisia
Magia Negra - Juju
Ready for this - Aquasky & Ragga Twins
Cicada - Justin Martin
Gutter Punk - Noisia

And I have a feeling that I will not get half-way through the list before the boys in blue pull my butt over!!!

 

LOL

I hear ya, Luckily I had a gift card from xmas!!! Come to think of it, I need to order some hydro!

 

The Virgin Suicides score by French downtempo/electronica duo AIR. So good, and it feels like you are in a movie while driving!

 

Love music, great thread...

I can't believe no one has mentioned Allman Brothers! Perfect driving music. Also most of the upbeat Grateful Dead stuff if you are into that. Widespread is IMO similar the Allman Brothers in the sense that the old stuff is good long sustained jams that are not rambling/boring.

Of course I have to agree with the Chili Peppers (old stuff) and Talking Heads or anything David Byrne. Arcade Fire also good for building up momentum

Anyone see that Infiniti commercial w/ Elvis Costello a few years ago?

 

When motoring, I listen mostly to Evanescence and Within Temptation these days. Goth grabs me right now.

Danger Mouse - The Grey Album

Pablo - Half the Time

Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury

Band of Horses - Cease to Begin (great new album)

CKY is the best driving music in my opinion. I actually got into my only accident (not in my MINI...) whilst listening to them, and then after that I was nervous for a while...but no problems now.

 

I've been going through this thread alongside my iTunes so I can buy some, and THIS IS THE BEST SO FAR!!!! I knew I liked you for SOME reason....

 

The Bouncing Souls- The whole Gold Album

 

I really listen to anything from Pearl Jam, Iron Maiden, John Mellencamp, and Bob Seger to The Offspring, Disturbed, Foo Fighters, Drist, and more Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder for President!

 

I love hip hop and seems not many people thus far do...

1. Dr. Dre - Let Me Ride
2. Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Doggy Dogg - Ain't Nothin' But A G Thang
3. T.I. - Top Back

 

If you'er gonna go and just motor on the highways:The long Run CD. The Eagles
If you want something to help you get your heart pumping (like we need any help when we have Mini's), try: The ace of spades , Motorhead.

There is just something about that theme that evokes MINI motoring. Delighted you like it. I played it this morn on the way to the Park N Ride, as a matter of fact.
