Car Tunes

What about an iPOD compilation for going out in the GT?

I have a playlist called Car Tunes on my iPOD that I play through the McIntosh stereo when out for a cruise.

I have many songs, all rock and blues, in that playlist, but here is the first song:

Enter Sandman - Metallica (from the Black Album)

Some of you may wish to add to this list and let it compile over time.

Raod Tunes

Hot Rod Lincoln is a must.

Dreams - Allman Brothers


I suggest three CD's be organized.
1) early morning tunes to get the day started
2) mid-day traveling songs
3) Some h.d. old time rock and roll for night driving

And of course for the really good roads. No tunes. Open the windows and hear the motor sing.

A few years ago Harley Davidson published a great CD for road tunes. Mine got used frequently. Then it "disappeared" into one my kids "personal Collection". Never to be seen by Dad again.

 

[eshrink]

Jeff:

I am almost certain that I own the now out of print Harley Road Songs. If you would like a copy, please P.M. me, and I'll go through the collection and see if I can find it.

- doc

P.S.

Here's another song for our collection of Car Tunes:

"Comfortably Numb" - Pink Floyd

 

[Townshend]

If you aren't listening to Bob Seger's Live Bullet in the car you are doing yourself and the car a disservice. :cheers

 

[Spirit]

“WHEN I PAINT MY MASTERPIECE” – The Grateful Dead

 

[nomis]

Okay, let's throw something less retro into the mix: -

For Sunday morning drives, pick anything from a Jack Johnson record but if I had to pick just one, I'd opt for Good People off the In Between Dreams album. Nice and mellow and an CD without a bad song on it.

Late night, with 'a' lady in the car (MJ, you can use this to woo the fellows! :biggrin ) - Sarah McLachlan's Answer from her most recent, Afterglow. Slow, sultering and perfect night time mellow music.

Now, for "What Seems to be the Problem, Officer?!?" music: -

Angles and Airwaves - The Adventure
The Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Bomb the Bass - Bug Powder Dust
The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize
Depeche Mode - Route 66 (Beat Master remix)
Ian Brown - FEAR
INXS - New Sensation
James - Born of Frustration & Sometimes
Jamiroquai - name a tune, the king of modern car music but let's choose Feels Just Like it Should
Jesus & Marychain - Sidewalking
Johnny Cash - The Wanderer
Kasabian - Club Foot
The Killers - Mr. Brightside (or anything from their first CD)
Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror
Pixies - Hear Comes Your Man
Prince - U Got the Look
Simple Minds - Someone, Somewhere in Summertime
The Smiths - How Soon is Now
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars or It's Beginning to Get to Me
Sons of Freedom - The Criminal
The Stone Roses - Driving South ("anytime you want to sell your soul, I've got a tollfree number you can ring"... )
Texas - Just Hold On
The The - Infected
U2 - MLK
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

....there's a start, I won't delve into my Springsteen collection, or a few others because I'd be say, "the entire album" :cheers

(Springsteen has become the musical George Clooney, and, thus, my only means of protest is to no longer financially support them. I doubt that they will care, but I do feel better for the symbollic act.)
Regarding music:

The Allman Brothers - Live at the Filmore
Pink Floyd - Pulse
Eric Clapton - 24 Nights
Santana - Abraxis

(Springsteen has become the musical George Clooney

How so? In terms of his politics? If so, we don't get any of that over here, so I can seperate music from the individual with ease.

Tunnel of Love is still a very well written album, as is Nebraska

 

[eshrink]

(I am able to separate the two, but not with ease. Thus, my personal protests come in the form of not financially subsidizing. I like his early work. I'll not pursue that area further. It is far too available in the blogosphere)

Back to music

On my Car Tunes playlist is almost exclusively classic rock although if someone (Eg. Collective Soul or Jonny Lang etc) write something that has a 7 bar blues foundation, then I do not care from which generation it arose. Recently, this has included some older and more recent pop country which is amazingly well arranged. (My kids are all musicians, and we are guitar collectors so tend to favor anything that has interesting guitar work).

Two examples of country music:

"A Litte Too Late" - Toby Keith (video is excellent)
"Remember When" - Alan Jackson - doc

My best driving tunes:

Pink Floyd - PULSE. Favorite tracks: Comfortably Numb - Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Money
Coldplay - X & Y. Favorite tracks: Talk - Speed Of Sound
Royksopp (Norwiegan band) - The Understanding. Favorite Tracks: What Else Is There - Only This Moment
Spleen_United (Danish Band) - Godspeed Into The Mainstream. Favorite tracks: In Peak Fitness Condition - Heroin Unltd.

(Pulse came out for the first time (approved) on DVD last Tuesday. It was a great concert; shame that no video of "Hey You" has ever been included. Gilmour is a good player, but Snowy White (the session man), who sits-in, is remarkably skilled.)

Pulse is a great "Car Tune" collection.

Your other songs were unfamiliar to me. I plan to check them out.

I have a friend who used to play with "Focus" (Dutch band), and you might like their album(s) when out for a cruise.

Here's another:

"Isn't It a Pitty" & "Beware of Darkness" - George Harrison from "All Things Must Pass"

 

[Jason Watt]

Gilmour is DA MAAAN... I got hold of the PULSE DVD last week, and it's just great. Had the CD for years, but to watch these guys just takes it to another level. Bur the best version ever of Comfortably Numb was when the band got back together @ the Live8 concert in Hyde Park last year - Missed it, but got the DVD.. Priceless.
Another great DVD is Roger Waters - LIVE In The Flesh... He's got Snowy White givin it death, and he's just great fun to watch in his solo in "Money" soooo coool....

Those Scandinavian bands might be a bit... hmmm - too "electronica" for most of you guys up in here... Not talking about age here - but simply taste... ha ha ha

 

[eshrink]

I also like The Delicate Sound of Thunder which is a must on your GT's iPOD.

My daughter has learned the acoustic opening to Wish You Were Here . Interestingly, when that song was first recorded, Gilmour did not play the part (I have read) but learned to play it after the album was released.

His latest album is a large yawn for me. I have never cared for his solo work.

Back on track: How about "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty.

- doc

The whole Gilmour-Waters saga was rather painful. Waters is the creative force but has the personality of Atilla the Hun. Gilmour is a sloth but also quite manipulative. The end product is that he became fat off of Waters. But then, it is all just bricks in the wall.

I am not certain why musicians and movie stars with minimal education feel that their views on world affairs should have importance to us. Then secondly, I have no idea why people actually listen to their opinions.

 

[Jason Watt]

Gilmours lastest solo album sucks - Baker Street is a great all time classic...
Speaking of those - how about "Stairway To Heaven"?? (I actually like the "Far Corporation" version from the '80)

PS: True about the famous allways trying to teach us, but they did raise a hell of a lot of money at the Live8 gigs...
