junkyard

Heading off on a very long drive shortly got me thinking about a good driving soundtrack to compile to keep me awake, all contributions considered, the louder the better and links to Youtube etc. would be greatly appreciated.

L-M

Don't Stop me now - Queen
Porcelain - Moby
Self Control - Infernal
Blue Orchid - White Stripes
Take Back This City - Snow Patrol
Beggin - Madcon
Don't you want somebody to love - Boogie Pimps
Golden Touch - Razorlight
Go with the flow - Queens of the stone age
Fire like this - Me, Myself and Irene soundtrack
If everybody looked the same - Groove Armada
Praise you - Fatboy slim
Bat out of Hell - Meatloaf

Any of the Dubliners/Wolfetones. Depends on what your into:D

I think heading south east of Ireland could be the answer. Could be wrong.

What you going to drive over?

Getting your hands on some Girl Talk would be a step in the right direction. It's one man who takes classic songs and puts hip-hop (generally) over it, making something pretty unique. All his songs are seamless, each of them running into eachother over an album, so time spent on a long journey will fly.

Here's an example of what he does:

And here's how he does it:

Edit, a personal favourite, albeit a little bit older:

Not when your Ipod has some crap music on it and you've no cable to take it off :P I wouldn't mind a good drive.

@qz : Can't say that music would appeal to me at all at all. But each to their own

That vid ain't working for me, Onkle

i did a road trip across america a couple of summers ago, plently of the eagles (life in the fast lane), born to be wild, tons more just cant remeber at the minute, (though most of them seem more suited to a trip across america rather than france?!) :pac:

Strange that. I've put up a different version of the same song now

And how could I forget, plenty of Creedence Clearwater Revival!

Music - it depends.

Queen one day, U2 another. Maybe some Depeche Mode or another mood might require some Harry Chapin or Nanci Griffith. I could take a liking to some Big Country, AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Bon Jovi, Guns n Roses - the list is endless. Basically, for me, it depends on mood and what I want to listen to. That's why having the iPod on board is essential.

Volvoboy

Tom Waits, ELO, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, The Dubliners, The Wolfetones, Bob Dylan, Dire Straits, Seasick Steve, Razorlight, Eric Clapton, Christy Moore, Gypsy Kings. To name a few!

Thanks everyone, I'm only going over for Chistmas towing out another classic with my X5.

Don't forget Don Henley's Boys of Summer, quality driving song.

RoundyMooney

Bon voyage, JY.

Pink Floyd, ELO, and anything Beatles post 65 or so.

B00MSTICK

Bit of Top Guns Dangerzone works too

bigpinkelephant

"Born Slippy" (long version) by Underworld
"Toca's Miracle" (old version) by Fragma
"99 Problems" by Jay-Z
"Toy Soldier" by Britney Spears
"Shut Up & Drive" by Rihanna is an obvious choice.

Might not be quite to your liking, but its worth a shot.
Each one of the songs is pretty different, style wise.
1st: Hard rock.
2nd: Heavey metal.
3rd: Hard to call IMO, starts out really light and "spanishy"(forgive me for that) and gets faster, ends like the start.
Either way, its my favourite of the bunch.
Hope ya like them, i think they're great to have on in the car.

Guys, really there is only one band we should be listening to for driving.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyrrTK_xzj4

As for The Resurrection - the second half of this track (from about 3:25) is as good as it gets me thinks.

All I can say is don't (ever) listen to a live gig as poor Ian Brown really can't sing all that well when he's excited.

Mr. Presentable
