I post this here cause if I did it in Member's Corner I'd get a bunch of techno answers. What are your favorite car/driving songs?

 

Anything that is fast ie.
Disturbed
Bush (machine head only)
Korn
Linkin Park
PowerMan 5K
Some rap
etc...the list goes on

 

Powerman 5k rules. They have anything new lately?

 

Older stuff for me:

Motoreyes by Jethro Tull:
"...See the end curve coming, then we're back on the street through the late theater crowds.
And the stop lights go and we're cruising side by side still humming loud.
And she looks round again, her motoreyes going to tell me when.
Puts her right foot to the floor. Shows me she's no slow woman..."

Highway Star by Deep Purple:
"...Nobody gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car, it's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh it's a killing machine
it's got everything
Like a driving power
big fat tyres everything"

I'm In Love With My Car by Queen:
"...Told my girl I had to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburettor..."

And let's not forget the Choral Movement of Beethoven's 9th:
"...Freude, Schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuer-trunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!..."

how about:

mötorhead (overkill, ace of spades)

motley crüe (wild side, kickstart my heart)
metallica (battery, whiplash)

or maybe a little snoop (gin & juice) for those "slower days"

 

Anything by Fu Manchu.

 

um yeah, how about these:

songs about cars (I don't actually listen to these)
Hot Rod Lincoln

Hmm 311, Dave, Creed...

 

Jeez... I must be getting old. The songs that Geezer mentioned are the only ones I recognize. Used to love "Highway Star"

Go ahead and laugh, but the Beach Boys had a bunch of car-related songs:

Deuce Coupe
409
Shut (you?) down
and several others I can't think of

 

beach boys car songs are the best ....i don't think anyone can pull off singing about a car like they did..."i get bent outta shape, and it's hard to steer, when i get rubber in all four gears"

Some specifically good driving songs:

"Black Sunshine - Indestructable Mix" KMFDM remix / Rob Zombie Song.

"Back on the Rocks" the R32 GT-R song from Initial D (with toccata & fugue as the main riff)

"Drink My Honey" Lords of Acid. Generic thump techno, rox0rz

"Jesus Built my Hotrod" Ministry (lots of ministry is good for drivin)

basically anything by Apocalyptica (Metallica songs done by a string quartet, amazing)

"O Fortuna" Apotheosis (the epitome of classical techno mixes)

"A Drug Against War" KMFDM (you want fast?)

"Xcess" Slick Idiot (not necessairly a driving song, but one of the best bands i've heard in a LONG time, En Esch from KMFDM's new project)

"Descent into Mystery" Danny Elfman, from Batman Sountrack.

"Who was in my room last night" trent reznor remix of Butthole Surfers song

Any great theme by John Williams (Star wars in particular evokes a flying ferrari...)

"Five Oh Ford" and "Big Red Rocket of LOve" - Reverend Horton Heat

"All my shootings be drive-bys" - MC Hawking

Aleph, who is in a musical mood after making a CD for the trip to Hyperfest...

 

As in
O Fortuna, velut Luna, statu verabilis,
semper cescis, aut decrescis.
vita detestabilis, nunc obdurat, et tenc curat . . .

If so, Samplers have developed more class than I gave them credit

Robert Shaw conducting the Atlanta Symphony Orcehstra effin' rocks!!!

 

Powerman 5K
Disturbed
NIN
Prodigy
Linkin Park
POD
Reel Big Fish
Blink 182
&
Fatboy Slim

Those are the artists at least that I'd listen to.

 

"Back in deluxe, back in deluxe, baayyy-beeeeeeee!!"

I'll second Aleph's choices--he makes a mean driving mix (My favorite being the uber-cheezy driving mix )

I'll add:

Jimmy Eats World: Sweetness
BT: Never Gonna Come Back Down
Ekin Cheng: Legend of Speed <--- a MUST, as is the movie
Speed Racer: Techno Remix
Basement Jaxx: Rendezvou

I'll have to browse my MP3 collection when I get home for more.

 

sigh...

I can't believe no one's mentioned Rush's "Red Barchetta".

Also, "La Via Strangiato" & "YYZ"

But perhaps that is a wee bit far back there...

 

When driving in anger:
Das Ich
Absurd Minds
Front 242
Kevorkian Death Cycle
Laibach
KMFDM
Seelenkrank
VNV Nation


On a more mellow day:
Portishead
Dead Can Dance
Delirium
Everything But the Girl

 

heh, i think i've commented on your einsturzende neubauten avatar before flux...we have very similar musical tastes

 

"Driven" by RUSH (Test for Echo album) would be a better choice for the Autocross/Roadracing forum....

New favorite though, "Mindstorm" by Joe Satriani ....
