    I'm bored with all my music and know my current drive-to-work playlist by heart. Just looking for suggestions for a refreshing change...

    To and from work I cannot stop listening to:

    Starlight by Muse, Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis, Baba O'Reilly by The Who, No Surrender by Bruce Springsteen, Voodoo People (Pendulum Remix) by The Prodigy and anything else loud and punchy!

    I'm a strange one for the music in the mornin alright!

    Not an option, I live in France!

    I'm liking a lot of these suggestions - keep 'em coming.

    Sher just pick a new album a day. You know. All these modern bands. Blurs and Oasises and Jams and Pistols and Guns and Killers and such and such. Surely one of them will do ya.


    And if not, just do what I do.
    Led Zeppelin.

    Good call on Dropkick Murphys, especially at 9am on the way in!

    Also coming to mind, Now You're Gone by Basshunter, Walking On Sunshine by KC and The Sunshine Band, Cells by The Servant, Read My Mind by The Killers and of course, The A Team theme tune!

    Hey,

    You have some good ones already on your list (I especially like that Statler Brothers' song!). Umm, how about these:

    Cat Stevens - Morning Has Broken
    INXS - Need You Tonight
    Fine Young Cannibals - She Drive Me Crazy
    The Cranberries - Dreams
    Cast - Walkaway
    The Coasters - Yakety Yak
    Crash Test Dummies - Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
    Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight
    Christy Moore - Nancy Spain
    Beautiful South, The - A Little Time
    Beautiful South, The - Rotterdam
    Booker T & The MG's - Green Onions
    Billy Ocean - Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Car
    Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music - More Than This

    I can suggest much much more if you're liking my choices so far. I can of course also arrange to send any of these to you if you don't already have them.

    Take care,
    Kevin
