Indiana Jones theme song which is still my favorite movie.

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give it Away

 

Fleetwood Mac: Dreams

 

Fleetwood Mac: Dreams

 

I'm a Mocker...

for my first brand new car with a sound system, I figure a hand-picked mix with a UK/MOD bent is appropriate: from the 60s to two minutes ago...

 

A rock w/bagpipe rendition of Scotland the Brave
followed by Spiderbait's Black Betty
chased by Jimi Hendrix doing Voodoo Chile, Slight Return
topped off by AC/DC's timeless classic, It's A Long Way to the Top if you Wanna Rock-N-Roll

You know, mellow stuff.

 

For me it will be the Sex Pistols, "God Save the Queen"....in 4 to 6 weeks.

Given the car's heritage and my preference for a lot of volume, it seemed to pick itself.

Fortunately, the hi-fi doesn't have a "break in" period.....

 

Earth Wind and Fire: Reasons
Smokey Robinson: Cruisin'
Incubus: Aqueous Transmission.

No high tempo'ed songs played at first due to obvious reasons. :impatient

 

I love a lot of heavy, hard rock brit stuff, so I'm making a Mini mix for my first trip which will include some of, if not all of the following:

Judas Priest - Turbo Lover, Heading Out to The Highway, Breaking the Law, Freewheel Burning, Hell Bent for Leather, Desert Plains, Riding on the Wind, Rock Hard Ride Free, Reckless

Black Sabbath - Supernaut

The Who - The Seeker, Magic Bus

Queen - Headlong, I Want to Break Free, Flash's Theme

Deep Purple - Highway Star, Space Truckin'

Billy Idol - Speed, Blue Highway

AC/DC - Jailbreak, Ride On, Live Wire, Chase the Ace, Highway to Hell, Heatseeker, Gone Shootin

 

maybe Zep's "Rock n' Roll"....with a Bono-esque intro....

"This is a song Cadillac stole from Led Zepplin.....We're stealin' it back...."(insert crowd roar)

 

Currently in the middle of creating a playlist but it'll start off with:

1. The Ride by Prince (yes, I *do* realize this 'ride' has nothing to do with cars. Still, the undeniable funk is oh-so-good and driveable.)

2. Radar Love by Golden Earring

 

First song in my Mini will be whatever the local rock station is playing.

Then maybe Donovan's "Mellow Yellow" (mellow yellow car!)

 

Tangerine - Led Zeppelin, followed quickly by Ramble On

 

I thought about this a lot and even posted the same question in a thread. My final choice was someone else's suggestion, and I still listen to it almost daily:

Ready, Steady, Go
Paul Oakenfold
Album: Bunkka
(music behind the classic Mini chase scene in The Bourne Identity)

 

I picked up my MCS yesterday and I made a mix cd just for that drive and the first song that I played was Deftones - Be Quiet and Drive.

 

First song was Louis Armstrong "A kiss to build a dream on"

 

Mike - that's a killin choice. Nice work. You must be among the hippest people in San Diego.

 

I believe it was either "Hong Kong Garden" by Souixsie & The Banshees or "Ceremony" by New Order

 

LOL I don't know many people in thier mid 30s that like artists such as Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin, Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and the like so I don't know how "hip" I can be I just dig the old Standards sometimes

 

Wild Thing~~~The Troggs

 

I'm in my mid30s, too. I have a kid named after Ella Fitzgerald and plenty of Louis and Sinatra on my iPod. At least we can pretend we're hip, instead of in our 80s.

 

Huh!? What's that sonny?

 

Metallica - FUEL

 

Anyone heard of Django Reinhardt? He'll be getting a lot of play in the new rig....

 

I am going to play "Start the Car" by Jude Cole.
