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.

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!

Now it's time to sing the nation anthem IN AMERICA!!!

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

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.

I love Commander Cody. Anybody ever hear  "Everybody's Doing It" ?




And you thought Trek isn't cool.

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.

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 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

StatCat

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.
