Members Padrino Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 So i have a 12 hour drive coming up...any suggestions for music? I have a giant collection, just looking to find a few new things. I'll listen to anything that's not rap, so throw it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members foppy Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 Tres Hombres by Z.Z. Top. Practically every song is about driving or dying in a car accident. Kick it into gear with "Precious and Grace." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MisterTV Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 Check out some Godspeed! You Black Emporer. If you're not familiar with them, it's an all-instrumental group from Canada that combines traditional rock instruments with string arrangements. Very haunting, with lots of atmospherics, guitar delay/feedback, and loooong songs (10 to 20 minutes). As weird as this may sound, the music seems to become a real-life soundtrack to whatever you happen to be doing at the time. I've taken many long walks and car trips with GSYBE on the iPod. They also did the soundtrack to 28 Days Later. If I recall correctly, the director, Danny Boyle, said he actually wrote the screenplay with the concept of it eventally being scored by GSYBE.

Members WRGKMC Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 Too much Heavy rock can wear you out. Save it for whan you need to wake up and get the heart pumping then just have a mixed bag of stuff. When I do Trips from Houston To NJ, I get some of those talking books. They really make time fly and arent so fatiguing. Otherwise, break it up with some radio play, especially when coming into big cities so you can avoid traffic snarls and check for bad weather.

Members lowbrow Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 If you google carefully you can find links to download a out of print double cd called "Songs We Taught The Detroit Cobras" that is awesome. Same source also has "Songs We Taught The Cramps" and "Songs We Taught The Fuzztones". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Annoying Twit Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 like original beatles drummer pete best? Yep. And the album should, IMHO, be given a listen by all who like 1960s "summer of love" psychedelica. It's clearly a deliberate attempt to make a 1960s album, but IMHO it succeeds. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GNU262/ref=dm_sp_alb?ie=UTF8&qid=1277490287&sr=8-1 http://www.we7.com/#/album/The-Pete-Best-Band/Haymans-Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tomh777 Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 For long drives like that I get a few "books on tape" actually they are on a CD these days but. It helps pass the time if you get a good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spanishfly47.5 Posted June 25, 2010 Members Share Posted June 25, 2010 I enjoy listening to RHCP's Blood Sugar Sex Magik all the way through. That doesn't so much work for everyone, so I'd suggest taking some sort of live album, those work well for driving. The song "Take" by John Butler Trio, off the Live at St Gallen album is unbelievable to drive too. Same goes for their song "Betterman" off the same album. both have awesome solos for each instrument. good stuff. actually, just find that entire album, it has some excellent moments.
