Some suggestions...

Iron Maiden - Run to the hills
Rammstein - Ich Will
Motorhead - Ace of Spades
Beethoven - Final movement of the ninth symphony (Ode to joy)

[pwd95]

Can't listen to music when I'm driving it, it's like trying to listen to two songs at the same time. The harmonics clash.

I've actually played that quite often when I've driven my TIV!

OOps! Showing my age now!

[BoyzToyz]

Blackfoot Sue - I'm Standing in the Road

Deep Purple - Highway Star

Roy Orbison - I Drove All Night (still a classic)

U2 - Beautiful Day

Cozy Powell - Dance with the Devil

Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky

David Guetta - When Love Takes Over

[977]

Talking Heads - Once in a lifetime
Fleetwood Mac - the chain
Florence + the Machine - Rabbit Heart
Nomo - discontinued
Tchaikovsky - Polonaise
Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma
Frank Zappa - We are not alone
The vapours - turning japanese
The Qemists - On the run
Pendulum - 9000 miles

Those are the last 10 songs I played on the iPod in the TVR according to itself, sounds fairly representative.

I've driven competitively with music in the car before, gets you some very strange looks from the marshals but I find a bit of classical can really smooth out my driving. Of course, with a sleeved exhaust, you can always still hear the glorious noise from behind, but with a good speaker system, the two blend together nicely.

[Far Eastender]

Raw Power - Iggy Pop.

[900T-R]

to the above, and:

Faithless - Salva Mea
The Prodigy - Their Law
Rammstein - Sonne (for those 2-5 am jaunts towards Calais)
Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy, Hey Girl
Within Temptation - See Who I Am

[Daston]

ACDC - Hells bells or Back in Black?

[Mr MoJo]

I can honestly say that the stereo has only been turned on once since Sepember 2008 !!

I keep promising some upgraded front speakers (and some rear speakers which I havn't got at all) but something else always seems to take priority. The exhaust note satisfies my aural needs

Robert Palmer-Simply Irresistable

[grm500]

Intro to Motorhead - the original Motorhead studio single version. huge bass rumble sounds oddly like the car.

First thing I played in Griff, the day I decided I was having it - possibly concerned Simon at Fernies sitting beside me.
