What is the best driving music?

[Bucksnort101]

1. Anything by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
1a. Early ZZ Top (First Album, Rio Grande Mud, La Grange, Fandango, Tejas, and Tres Hombres albums).
2. Train Train by Blackfoot
3. Tell Mama by Savoy Brown.
4. Jimi Hendrix, pick any album.

There can be only one possible answer to this question.

Hmm..perhaps you should update your browser, I can see the picture perfectly.

That's the best so far. Savoy Brown live is pretty damn good too.

But I vote for Joe Satriani (virtually any album), Montrose (first album), Deep Purple Machine Head, The Cars first (two albums), Black Sabbath, Megadeath, Rage Against the Machine (best of), Robin Trower (Victims of the Fury, Back It Up, BLT). and Audioslave (first album).

Megadeth

Fixed...

And how can you have Megadeth on your list but not Metallica????

 

[pbfoot]

ZZ Top
Deep Purple
Zeppelin
ELP
Kansas
Toss in some blues and maybe Bolero by Ravel, Flight of the Valkries

And the ultimate driving song is, drum roll...........

Uneasy Rider by Charlie Daniels!

I can't stand MP3s...

You spent time in military aviation and you can still can tell the difference between a CD and an MP3! I impressed. I can't hear crickets (not necessarily a bad thing) and have a permanent ringing in my ear. Between the Tweet and the APU next to the crew entrance door on the C-141, my ears didn't stand a chance.

I'm an old codger who is still living in the 60s. I like a mixture of rock and roll and country. Gene Pitney, Four Seasons, Johnny Horton, Jim Reeves, Lovin Spoonfull many others and some from later periods like Neil Diamond. My Genesis has a six record CD changer with MP3, lets see, that's over 600 hours of music. Plenty to pick from.

and Chuck Berry's "No Particular Place To Go had us bouncing, bopping and singing along, much to the great amusement of the "cagers" around us, whenever we stopped for the red light on our way to Langelinie, Copenhagen.

Love that song. It takes me back to hot summer nights listening to the radio while watching my brother work on his '57 Chevy under a large cedar tree, using a block and tackle to pull the engine. I can almost hear the mosquitoes buzzing. Slap!

Only a few months later he was drafted and sent off to Vietnam, which he thankfully survived.

Trust me my hearing is not great anymore. My problem with MP3s is just that I do not want to let go of albums. I like the artwork and having to go to a record store. It is a lost era...

Remember when record stores had listening rooms where you could go in and listen to the record before you bought it?
Recently, I finally bought an 80G ipod. didn't think I like or use it but now it's one of my favorite things. FM transmitter that plugs into a cig outlet and I have 8 hours+ of MY music literally anywhere so MP3 has my vote

Forgot about Chuck. He was a little before my time, but I still love his music. Have seen him live two times so far and he brought down the house both times.
Classic lyric in any driving song "As I was MOTORVATIN' over the hill, I saw Mabelline in a Coupe De Ville" . Classic!

ah, yeah. Some of the things left behind are real treasures.

Of course there is that great parking lyric "Can't you imagine the way I felt, I couldn't unfasten her safety belt"!

Good point. Just got back from the oral surgeon. Appears that my oxycontin was working.

Matt, I always thought "In City Dreams" was Trower's best album ....not to mention "Bridge of Sighs".
