Great question. My husband has been threatening to sign me up for that show "Motormouth," where they put a camera in your car to record how awful you sound when you sing in the car.
ReplyDeleteIf I know the lyrics, I sing the song, whether I like it or not.
But, I have to admit, that the Men at Work album always gets me up and driving. That an CCR for some reason....
The other day, I was rockin' out to "Jump" by Van Halen.
ReplyDeleteI like Paint it Black for the open road.
ReplyDeleteGood topic! Here are mine:
ReplyDelete"A Day in the Life" The Beatles ~ this song blends the best aspects of Lennon and McCartney and was an actual collaboration (as opposed to just a credit share).
“Deacon Blues” Steely Dan ~ Ever “drink scotch whiskey all night long”?
“Comfortably Numb” Pink Floyd ~ Great lyrics and guitar solo.
“Tangled Up in Blue” Bob Dylan
“Red Rain” Peter Gabriel
Now how ‘bout the top five Disco songs :)
Bruce: Excellent choices. In the same vein as SRV, and I don't know how I forgot this, I would include anything by George Thorogood and the Destroyers!
ReplyDeleteSusan: As much as I like Queen, I don't care for them as "road music"-- GnR on the other hand, I must concur-- just about anything off of Appetite For Destruction is appropriate for driving to.
Green Eyes: I know-- so much great music to choose from, such a short list!
Fuzz: I can't blame you.
leazwell: cool selection.
Keshi: Indeed I am a music buff!
curare_z: Men At Work are awesome. Overkill is a fave of mine in ANY setting!
Phoenix: Jump is a classic driving song!
Snooze: I know it's sacrilege to say this, but I've never much cared for the Stones-- BUT I do like Paint it Black
Godwhacker: All excellent choices, but the disco list is a rather tall order!
Hmmm ... just to paint myself as a complete and utter geek, I should preface this by saying I usually listen to classical music. However, these songs never fail to get my motor running:
ReplyDeleteIn no particular order:
1. It's the End of the World - R.E.M.
2. The Man who Sold the World - Nirvana ("Unplugged" album)
3. Past the Mission - Tori Amos
4. Istanbul (not Constantinople) - They Might be Giants
5. My Music at Work - The Tragically Hip
