Propulsive Driving Music

FieldingMellish · 01-07-2009, 08:11 AM

Sometimes I like to drive around with no music on, just enjoying the car, and my own aimless 'thought' processes..... But lets face it, most of us like to put some tunes on, and the drive and the music comliment each other so well.

And while there's definitely pleasure to be had in sticking on, say, Miles Davis's 'In a Silent Way' and floating around in a mellow mood, my preference when it comes to driving soundtracks leans heavily towards propulsive music of one sort of another.

So, suggestions and recommendation please, for Propulsive Driving Music. Can be anything from 'Ride of the Valkyries' to the theme from 'Rhubarb & Custard'.

Let me start by offering 2 recommendations of my own, one old, one new-ish:

- 'Live and Dangerous' by Thin Lizzy

This old favourite was teh disc I took with me on my first proper 'out to see what the car could do' ride in my 320d

- 'Stay Positive' by The Hold Steady

Best straight-ahead rock album of 2008, no contest. Saw this lot last year in Manchester, what a night.

Ok, over to you......

Geoffo · 01-08-2009, 04:32 AM

listening to anything by Deftones, P.O.D. & Katy Perry's new CD.

Steve A · 01-08-2009, 04:56 AM

Notorious BIG - Who Shot Ya - listen to this just before i go to the gym as it gets me pumped

Big PUN - Dream Shatterer
BIG L - Ebonics
Infact any record the above three have done
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
Black Moon -
Dr Dre - The chronic and The chronic 2001
Blahzy Blahzy - Danger part 2
Hacienda trilogy
Cream 90-94

In fact most of the music i listen to is actually from the 90's especially HIPHOP as new HIPHOP is fucking wank.

RockIt · 01-08-2009, 05:41 AM

For 'propulsive driving music' it's usually rock that I would choose, but not exclusively.

Pretty much anything by AC/DC, particularly the new album at the moment.
Airbourne - Running Wild
Motorhead -Ace of Spades, Motorizer
Metallica, Death Magnetic
Muse -loads
Linkin Park
System of a Down
Iron Maiden
Deep Purple
UFO
Black Stone Cherry
The Killers livelier tracks
Selected Kings of Leon, but particulalry Molly's Chambers.
The Verve - Love is Noise
The Stereophonics rockier tracks, (but love everything by the band)
Foo Fighters

And being totally self absorbed, I like to play stuff that Ive written or that bands that I've played in have recorded. Call me egotistical and I'll agree.
