Got a question.
What music make you wanna go faster?
When i'm driveing , i like to play my tapes. And when i know i'm going to be on the freeway a lot, i choose cruseing music that , i must admit, make me want to accelerate.
Sooooo.....
What tunes do you save , for the on ramp? When going faster is what you have to do, and wanna do?
Some go tunes i like.
PETER GUNN (Jake and Elwood version).
JAMES BOND THEME (Natch).
DANGER ZONE. (Top Gun).
HOT ROD LINCOLN. (Cmdr. Cody)
Plus, Rev. Horton Heat, Brian Setzer, and other artist who have a rockin drive.
Recomendations?
Since I'm a bit of a techno nut [amongst pretty much everything else] I like to crank up the 'tunes' and make my blood pulse.
Favourites include Hybrid, Crystal Method, Juno Reactor [actually the stuff from the Matrix more than anything] and just general stuff that's loud, keeps me awake and not too soft and gooey!
Actually, I'm dropping a friend off at the airport tomorrow morning and was just thinking of my music selection, since I'm choosing for more than just me!
Does anyone else find that they change their music tastes to suit the people in the car around them?
I like to play music in my head to help me walk faster (just a smigen faster) my favorite song to this is with the music from the opening of Resevoir Dogs. The part where they're all walking and we see who's billed as who. The song ,Love Grows Where my Rosemary Grows, kicked ass while showing them walk in slow motion. Kick ass man!
Dean, I do the same thing. I often change what music I listen to; in order to fit the people around me.
As for fast music, I would have to say:
Edgecrusher - Fear Factory
The Decline - NOFX
End Of The World As We Know It - REM
Battle Of The Bands - Falling Sickness
Most anything by Slayer or Overkill.
i wish i could have one, but.................... i dont have a car license so that means that i dont have a car, and that means that i dont have an special song that makes me drive faster , anyway, if i could, wich one would be that song, maybe some "chemical brothers" song, or some techno stuff, unless thats what i hear with my discman and yes, it makes me walk faster.
I have two sets of music:
"Stuff for Ed to listen to while driving alone"
"Stuff for when Ed's wife is in the car."
The two have VERY little overlap. Ahhh, marriage.
-Ed
Radar Love
You really gotme (Van Halen version)
I love Commander Cody. Anybody ever hear "Everybody's Doing It" ?
Definitely Radar Love.
I used to have a bunch of "Travelling Music" tapes, but I have a CD player in my new truck, plus those tapes are about 15 years old. I usually don't listen to anything but the radio unless I'm on a long trip, which is rare.
Dueling banjos

Actually i can't drive fast, i own a chevy prizm, it would defy the laws of physics for this car to actually speed.

Now see, if you were to marry mullet man, I'm sure you'd have access to a faster vehicle, probably a big honking truck that he'd spend every weekend working on.
Man I go to school in Suthen Vahginia, so there are plenty of awesome cruising roads.
I have hit 90 or above to
Linkin Park: A Place for my Head
System of A Down: Toxicity Album
Dandy Warhols: Bohemian Like YOu
and
Blur: Woo Hoo
However, especially with a girl, you drive past the mountains at sunset with some Coldplay onh.... ALWAYS a good effect
I CAN'T DRIVE 55
I find songs that make me want to drive fast are songs that have a good groove...good dynamics....good push and pull. Songs that are just 'up', just fast, don't do it for me because they don't really move, and hence they don't make me want to move. Tempo doesn't matter much, but groove does
60s Aggressive/Angry garage music
The Pretty Things first two albums
The Sonics- Here are the Sonics and Boom!
Dick Dale- Nitro would be a definite
All would make me want to drive faster and run over pedestrians that's why I put them on in my car. I think maybe some light 1910 Fruitgum company and Ohio Express would be more in order for a light peaceful drive. I'll save these for when I enter the demolition derby.

For my money, the grooviest driving song of all time is "Portrait of the Damned" by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. You can here a clip here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000IGSF/qid=1088140310/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl15/102-4158737-7936121?v=glance&s=music&n=507846).
But if you just want a song that forces you to go faster by tempo alone, well then you should listen to the Playmates "Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler)". It's a gimmick song from the 50's, but it's hilarious. Find a snippet, although it gives you no idea of the song, here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000008S8/qid=1088140439/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/102-4158737-7936121). By the way, for those of you into heavier stuff, this song is sampled on Marilyn Manson's "Misery Machine".
I cant beleive nobody has mentioned Ministry: Jesus built my hotrod. I find its dangerous driving to that tune
Oh, I have been there! I always turn *my* music off when my wife is in the car.
For driving excessivley fast: "OD'd On Life Itself", Blue Oyster Cult; anything by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club; "Pigs" and ""Sheep" by Pink Floyd; "Wonderful Day" and "Zooropa", U2; anything by the Chemical Brothers; "Baba O'Reilly", The Who; "Clocks", Coldplay; "Pounding", Doves.
For being a careful, considerate driver who wants to live to get home: any Bach, Beethoven or baroque music; William Orbit; John Barry themes and Jacques Loussier.
