Driving Playlists (good songs only)

[BucknutBob]

Just a few off the top of my (balding, graying) head:

Jackson Browne: Running on Empty
Bruce Springsteen: Born to Run
Doobie Bros.: China Grove
Lynyrd Skynyrd: Sweet Home Alabama
REO Speedwagon: Riding the Storm Out
Ozzy Osbourne: Crazy Train
Heart: Barracuda
BTO: You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet
Steve Winwood: While You See a Chance
Ted Nugent: Stranglehold
Kenny Loggins: Danger Zone; I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)
Practically the entire soundtracks from Footloose, Top Gun, and Rocky IV

Yeah, it's all old stuff, but it's still awfully good stuff (IMHO, anyway).

Thanks for the great suggestions! I was riding around yesterday when my 1st gen ipod classic finally bit the dust, when it hit the floorboard. Its as old as my car! Anyway I have tested some of the suggestions, great songs, went on a trip to the coast to see some family over the weekend never been so happy with my playlists

I normally prefer rap, lately I have been listening to more classic rock, I've got two 12in JL's and won't hesitate to use them when a good song comes my way.

I have been listening to a band called Furthur! I really enjoy their music and download all of their live concerts. That has been on my radio for the last month. My other playlist contains The Allman Brothers live at the Beacon.

 

[Millerad1651]

I listen to everything...my playlists have everything from
The Black Keys (and Dan Auerbach solo stuff) - Thickfreakness, Strange Times, Keep It Hid
STP - Down, Lounge Fly, Unglued
Pearl Jam - Blood, All of the album TEN, Animal
The Heavy - How You Like Me Now, Sixteen
AwolNation - Sail, Soul Wars
Tupac (love old school rap) - Hit em up, Hail Mary
Zac Brown Band - Toes, Chicken Fried
Band of Skulls - Devil Takes Care of His Own, Diamonds and Pearls
Deftones - My Own Summer, Bored, Knife Party
Dispatch
BassNectar - The General, Open Up, Headlights
Incubus - Certain Shade of Green, Just a Phase
Godsmack - Moon Baby, Whatever, Alive
Pink FLoyd - the entire album "Wish You Were Here" from beginning to end


I find that if I have a wide variety, it keeps me interested, and time goes a little faster.

Couple of good tracks, really bass heavy

Make sure you have your volume knob turned up, good part starts at 1:18

Good part on this one starts at around 0:42
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WeZrEKoTdvI?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


This one is bass heavy throughout the whole song, but my favorite part starts at around 8:17 and goes all the way to the end.

And for some reason after seeing the new Judge Dredd trailer in the theaters and the beginning scene with the slow motion part inside the car and this song, I cannot get it out of my head
