Music and TVR's

[mrbigman]

Asied from listening to the booming v8/straight 6 and even v12 does anyone have any preferences of good driving music?? Just wondering,

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing..

[plotloss]

Mostly burn compilations CD's of all sorts of music.

Wagners Ride Of The Valkyries and Motorheads Ace Of Spades both seem particularly fitting though.

I think my big hitters are the Stones Jumpin Jack Flash, The Kinks all day and all of the night and for a summers evening blast Waterloo sunset by the Kinks, great stuff!!

[Russlarc]

Its got to be
Red Barchetta - by Rush
Scenes from a memory - by Dream Theatre - All of it
2112 by Rush
Nomad - by Iron Maiden
Blood Brothers by Iron Maiden
Close to the Edge by Yes
The Cross and Cruciple by Pallas - All of it
The Necromancer by Rush

All to match the V8 heavy Metal

Meanwhile, back in the 21st century....

Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl (JK's Dub remix)
PropellerHeads - On Her Majestys Secret Service
Fun Lovin' Criminals - Big Night Out
Bran Van 3000 - Drinking in LA / Outstanding
Prodigy - Diesel (Arkane remix) / No Good to Me

I could go on, but judging by the previous "trapped in the eighties" responses, I suspect my suggestions may fall on deaf (sic) ears....

LIMPBizkit: Rollin'

That was the first song when I picked up my beastie from the factory last march. I love that song, especially the remix from "The Fast and the Furious soundtrack".

Sorry funky, this is the bloody worst record ever ... too many memories of drunk on cider at parties at our local Sea Scout Hut circa late 70s ealy 80s.

Whenever I here it, I have just have to get the hell out. Even left the barbers the other day when I was next in line and it came on. I cannot sit there and listen to that bl**dy sax solo again.

"The Real Thing" and "Angel Dust" by Faith No More
"How To Measure A Planet" and "Nighttime Birds" by The Gathering

[Griffithy]

Cindy Lauper is great.
"Ride on Time" (Blackbox?) for hunting.
But the best:
"Breakthrough" (Queen) for scaring passengers,
I call it my V8 song:
At the beginning of the song calm down car and volume,
let Freddie sing his start, then a gap, and now:
switch on fully volume while putting in lower gear
and exactly with the start of the sound full throttle!

Warning: not for city traffic, because if you can manage to look at the speedo you are already far above legal limit!
Don´t forget to slow for the next corner, unfortunately comes usually before the song is over.

But try it you will get addicted.

Don't forget Chris Rea's 'Road to Hell' when you're stuck in a jam on the M25.

So, for those of you with CD changers, whats in yours?

I have:

1. Compilation CD of my own making
2. Banco De Gaia - Live At Glastonbury
3. Daft Punk - Discovery
4. The Chemical Brothers - Surrender
5. Orbital - The Altogether
6. Compilation CD of my own making

Matt.

[beano1197]

I'd recommend "Twin Barrels Burning" just for the title...

...if it wasn't possibly the worst album WA ever produced!

Since I want to get the roof in the boot, the CD changer had to go!! Apart from singing on long journeys - any suggestions for an alternative? (Radio reception is worse than crap, too)

[thom]

I'd recommmend "e-class diesel merc: symphony by 2.5l straight five" to piss off the max power boys...

My car has no silencers whatsoever, and I generally (apart from when stuck in traffic) regret ever having spent money on a CD player. Normally just listen to the V8 howl.

With a bit of luck, it should sound even better when I get my ACT Carbon Fibre inlet plenum fitted! - Perhaps a little extra induction howl thrown into the mix.
