Punisher Bass
He who drives a Buick
First, I'm sure a thread like this has been posted before. I ran a search and didn't see anything that had been posted in recently, but if I'm wrong I'm sorry.
So what songs/bands/albums ect do you listen to when you go driving and why do you like it?
Before I list mine I'd like to state for the record that I subscribe to the "My car, My music" rule. That being if I'm driving, then I pick the music, especially if it's my car. And if it's still my car but I'm not driving, then I still pick the music. Someone doesn't like it, let them drive their own car next time.
I like a rather eclectic mix of music, but I refuse to listen to rap or whoever MTV is telling everyone to like this week. I'm a classic rock and southern blues fan for the most part with a little old (and I do mean old) folk music and some other stuff I have no right listening to. But I'll leave the latter for later.
One song I will not leave the house without is a copy of Ted Nugent's Stranglehold live. It's just perfect for driving anywhere. Incredible guitar work and enough bass work to shatter windows. Once that is locked and loaded, it's game on.
Other stuff I keep in steady rotation.
AC/DC- Various- Comes in very handy when you pull up to some jerkoff with 10,000watt subwoofer.
KISS Unplugged- Just a good assortment of songs played live, and unless you really suck, you can do a better job singing Beth than Peter Criss is and impress a lucky female in the passenger seat.
Van Halen/Hagar- Few songs from the Hagar era who I personally feel is a far better singer than David Lee Roth.
Joe Satriani- These are great if you're driving fast. I'd love to drive the PCH with Summer Song blasting. I'm convinced some of his stuff would be perfect to score a car chase with.
Metallica: Whisky In the Jar- Same as above, good for driving fast. Perhaps the only decent song they did after they lost their tallent.
Stevie Ray Vaughn- Just more great music perfect for a long highway drive. Inspired me to get back to playing again.
Bob Segar- Ditto
ZZ Top- Need I say more?
Now we get into what I like but shouldn't.
Eric Clapton- I blame my parents for this. I heard Clapton so much growing up I can sing along to almost any of his stuff like it's a natural reflex. I guess Bob Seger falls into this catagory too.
The Kingston Trio- I know what you're thinking. "Who the hell are they?". You need to run a google search to find anything on them, but basically it's old folk music. I blame/thank my dad for this. He was a huge fan of this kind of music and my sister and I have many memmories of being in the car with him playing it. We can both sing these songs like it was a reflex.
I also have various movie themes mixed in there. I don't mean showtunes, I mean like from Terminator 2, Aliens, Batman Begins. That kind of thing.
