Alright, you all have spectacular taste in music and things, so I shall pose a question (and hope it hasn't be done before)

I'm going on a last-minute roadtrip with my buddy to Boston tommorrow (about 8 hours from me) and I'm in charge of the DJ business. I want to put together a really classic roadtrip CD, so, any ideas?

As always, your help is so very much appreciated

Well, it was a fairly late request anyways.

I'm off for the week, have a good one folks!

i know its a bit late now, but i can't believe no-one suggested 'more than a feeling'.

Busted is good driving music... It is! Well, if you're me and my friends, it is. Have we got a thread about ultimate driving tunes? Maybe we need one, or should just do a Kevin Mcleod-style conversion to this one...

GET

MY

GUN.

anything that isnt busted, Queen, thats some good music.

The Blues Brothers Soundtrack.

Windows Down, playing the Peter Gunn Theme at top volume.

Blues Brothers, thats some music and a half right there.

Rob Zombie-Dragula

Simply because it was actually on the "Road Trip" soundtrack and it immediately popped into my head when I read the title of the thread:

Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock

Word.

Shunting this over to Music.

Hope you're having a good week off, Julie.

I also put Sweet Home Chicago on it. May I take this opportunity to tell everyone that I'm going to see them in July. I could vomit I'm so excited.



Cheers!


And thank you so much SuperFurryAndy. I'll be copying a few of those for the way back!

Thanks everyone!

How does this work?

Iggy Pop-The Passenger

Great song to drive along to and some of the greatest 'lala's' ever committed to tape

Got that version as well - prefer Gil's cos his voice just has that edge to it.

Well, it's Dan Akroyd and Jim Belushi and then the rest of the original Blues Brothers Band. Again, excited, vomit, etc.

How unfathomably ace!

That's freakin' awesome.

Yeah... it is, isn't it? And the seats are ridiculously good because I worked at a Ticketmaster outlet and got them the moment they went on sale. I'll get pictures and all sorts to post for you guys

The Back to the Future soundtrack... How's that for some good driving music?

The lock, stock....soundtrack is also good for driving.

I always thought the music that plays when the Libyans show up would make a sweet sample.
"They found me. I don't know how but they found me. Run for it Marty!"

Rob Zombie-Dragula

Thunder Road and Badlands by The Boss. Just great 'ripping through the country' music

i know its cheese coz its actualy on the move road trip, but you gotta have that 'goddamn right its a beautifull day' (uh huh!) by the eels!

It's actually called 'Mr E's Beautiful Blues'

/snob

I was going to suggest that one...

Audioslave's first album is good driving shizzle.

I challenge you not to speed as the main riff to Cochise kicks in.

I always forget the name of that song and usualy have to search the net to find out......this time i just couldnt be arsed!
