I know it was on bf.c but I know I'm in a lot different mood when driving my dad's e30 325i than when I drive my m42 just because of how nimble our cars are. What's your favorite m42 driving song?

Mine:
a la menthe-oceans 12 soundtrack
castles in the sky-Ian van dahl
sandstorm- darude
walking in the sky-dj encore
foxy foxy- rob zombie

No worries, I love country, but driving, can't listen to it except for a few songs. Too dang slow of music.

Hmmm...being a big Jazz and Classical music nerd, I listen to a lot of Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, and various Downtempo artists when I'm just "cruising" around. Believe it or not I listen to intense classical pieces when I do some intense driving ie: highway 17 at 2am;). It is a very common misconcepition that all Classical music is "sleepy" music. The "sleepy" music people refer to is a sub-category of Classical called Impressionism(yeah like the painting style). Sorry, the whole Classical music puts me to sleep bit, is something that ignorant people say. My favorite driving works are Vivaldi's 4 seasons, specifically fall and winter; and how can one forget Bethoven's 9th, second movement; Bach's double violin concerto vivace<---pure sex!!! The list goes on and on. On long trips, though, I play a huge array of music, Country excluded.

Please excuse my cynicism, Philosophy minor here!:)

My fave driving CD has to be
Girls against boys - Venus Luxure No1 baby

But I listen to all sorts when driving depending on my mood

I have nearly been in 2 wrecks due to country music.
It literally puts me to sleep when I am driving. Not a good thing.

While not my preffered music, I can stand it, and find a song or 2 that I like, but seriously, if I drive, I have a rule, no country, unless you want to die.

I can listen to just about anything with an upbeat tempo to it. Rock, rap, swing, rockabilly, soul, blues, metal, punk, oldies, classic rock, does not matter, good music is good music. Why limit yourself.

You should see my Ipod.

Radar Love, the Golden Earring version or White Snake's.
Carefull, you will exceed the speed limit.

Other good ones (just a sample):
Kashmir - Zep.
Ramble On - Zep. (Almost any Zep to be honest.)
Travelin Man - Allman Brothers.
Fortunate Son - Creedence
One Bourbon, one scotch and one beer - George Thorougood
Graduation Day - Chris Isaac
Drive - Incubus
Watching The Wheels - John Lennon
Carry On My wayward Son - Kansas

Geezer rock! Sometimes my daughter leaves Hip-Hop stuff in the car.

got an Escalade and an E-Class
no insurance quarter tank of gas
got it all in my momma's name
playin' it big in the hood-rich game.

For the life of me I can't imagine anyone's drug of choice being codeine cough syrup in a 32 ounce fountain drink.

I can listen to rap and hip hop. Problem is, it is not as good to drive to.

As for more modern rock, most it sucks. Classic rock sound just works better for driving.

Ya, I'm 18 and I'm one of the few at school who hate rap. I like a very few amount of rap songs, probably 10 in all. Tom Petty is nice music for road trips, but wen I wanna drive hard it's mostly techno w/ some heavy metal. Too much Emo now adays w/ rock

Yo man, why you hatin' on rap! Beeezznnatch!
Actually, I love old rap and old-school hip hop... like De La Soul, Arrested Development, Digable Planets, KRS One, Black Sheep, Eric B & Rakim. It's the newer stuff I'm not a fan of. Maybe I'm too old to "get it".

Depeche Mode is probably my favorite driving music for some reason. Can't wait to get an iPod direct link so I can listen to KEXP, Projekt Podkast, and other great free stuff downloaded from the web! I lost all my tapes years ago, so I only listen to public and student radio at the moment.

Old school I won't complain w/. The new stuff is so derogatory it irritates me.

I prefer DMX, Deep Dish, ATB, Mariah Carey (a bit too slow), Scooter, Rammstein, Marylin Manson and good house.
