your favourite driving music?
Discussion
Now I'm guessing a lot of people on here will agree with me when I say that the engine note of your own car is all the music you need to rbjoy a good drive out.
But the question I bring to the table today is what is your favourite music that you listen to in the car?
My personal favourite for a cruising drive is any of Bob Marley's fantastic tracks. And for something more racy tends to be either old school rock or old school club classics, varied I know bit that's what this post is for! Might add I love driving to the ' don't speak no americano' track that's out right now!
So ask yourself, what's your favourite music?

I would have to go with your former comment. Don't even have a stereo in the TR7 V8, just a hole in the dash and doors (sans speakers) and a loud exhaust! But the question I bring to the table today is what is your favourite music that you listen to in the car?

If I do play music in the other cars it'll usually be some form of rock based music, from Led Zep to Hendrix, to the Black Keys, Soledad Brothers. Bit of blues like Berry and Canned Heat too and not missing off a bit of country (Alsion Krauss & Union Station, Trish Murphy) and even a bit of folk like our own Kate Rusby.
Too many varying factors! Day music is different from night music. Hood up music is different from hood down music. Then there's whoever is in the passenger seat, especially if she's the one in charge of the i-pod.
Day, alone, hood down - big fan of James / anything loud and happy that sounds similar. Or exhaust noise from the ragazzon! Occasionally stick something operatic on - bit of verdi / mozart.
Night alone, hood down - definitely just the exhaust
Night alone, hood up - currently like Editors most recent album. Or Interpol. Or Noah and the Whale's last album
Night with company - radio 4!

The CD I play most often in the car is The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets.
Excellently-written indie-rock repackaged as note-perfect Scott Walker/Al Stewart pastiche. The result, on the right road (something slightly twisty and hemmed in with cliffs, rocks and trees with nothing else in sight), at the right speed (swift, but not breakneck), with the right sunglasses (a nice wraparound gold-and-brown pair I've got that seem to turn the world into lens-flared, slightly faded and grainy technicolour), it feels like you're starring in a classic film in the Italian Job/Odessa File/Harry Palmer mould, and the opening credits are scrolling across the screen.
Yep, sad, I know, but that's half the appeal - at least it's not the actual theme tunes, they just sound like them.

On my own in the car, usually it's Radio 4, or for long journeys I sometimes download talking books from www.librivox.org. If it's music, either rock or "world" music (usually something Spanish or Cuban, occasionally Afro-Celt sound system).
With the kids in the car, they insist on Pendulum - particularly any of the tracks that were on the "Need for Speed - Undercover" game on the Nintendo DS.
