Driving Music...

I'm sure this thread will have been done before, but time for a reboot...

What track makes your blood pump behind the wheel.

In the 80's (the greatest ever decade) I was delivering cars for a rental company and I had a mix tape (anybody under 40 will need to google what a tape / cassette is...) and the one (extremely naff) track that got the blood pumping was...

Holding out for a Hero (Bonnie Tyler)

Rediculously fast drum track...

So, is there a track that makes you squeeze the right pedal..?

Not a track but an album, Joes garage by the mighty Frank Zappa. If you've never heard it your life isn't complete! Also the trooper by Iron Maiden is a guaranteed licence looser.

Too young to remember Joe's Garage the first time round, but it does raise a smile with all those Catholic giiiirls!

 

I have a USB stick with a load of favourite tracks from favourite albums all on random play. Everything from Lead Belly, Tool, NWA, Koko Taylor, Snarky Puppy, Steeleye Span, The Specials, Motorhead, Ludovico Einuaudi, Emika, Fat Freddie's Drop, Roots Manuva, Clutch

 

I love it all, anything and everything from classical, blues, jazz, reggae, rock, breakbeat and glitch-hop. Anything but bubblegum pop really

Any time meatloaf is on the gravity below my right foot becomes incredibly strong and I can't help myself, Iron maiden with number of the beast or run to the hills has a similar effect.

Stay With Me excellent choice. But surely the ultimate driving song has to be Born to be Wild. "Get your motor running, head out in the highway, looking for adventure,,,,,"

You tube is a wonderful thing by following links I've found...

Stones, Sympathy for the Devil & Paint it Black

Ram Jam, Black Betty

Charlie Daniels Band, Devil went down to Georgia

George Thorogood, Bad to the bone

Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sweet Home Alabama

There is some excellent music out there that I have forgotten about..!
