road trip music?

[blamethepunx]

trying to build a bit of a playlist (bit of a playlist being 4+ days haha) for some long driving i have ahead of me, i find i listen to a lot of electronic music on the road, because it's usually long, kinda repetitive (not in a bad way, more in a way that you can pay attention to it without really focusing on it all the time), and it translates to real nice steering-wheel tapping music.

i usually like good technical breakbeats with some nice female vocals, or real grimy fast evil drum and bass, but if anyone can think of some good driving songs no matter what the genre (i go from dragonforce to frank sinatra to the fugees to leftover crack to beethoven to black sabbath to thursday to lars fredriksen and the bastards to elton john to mindless self indulgence, so genre isn't really an issue) i just like anything that's really musical and well put together. i can't say i really get into anything super-poppy, and top-40 sounding, which is why i'm not too keen on the radio. anybody have ideas? thanks

edit: i have an alright system that i'm not afraid to crank right up so don't shy away from the bass-blasting masterpieces!

If you like electronic music, try Andy Hunter. He's a pretty artist, and a couple of his songs have a nice female voice. Enigma also makes some good electronic music, they're kinda different though. When I'm traveling, I like to listen to movie soundtracks for some reason, I guess it makes the trip seem epic or something. I like the lord of the rings soundtracks, especially when driving near mountains.

i personally like vnv nation, and in my car right now i have funeral for a friend, lovehatehero, disturbed, and senses fail.

Another electronic artist you might want to check out is e nomine, i like their stuff.

Get the best of Pendulum. 2 cd's - all of the songs are great.

And get Fat of the land by prodigy - that can be used for the graveyard shift

[blamethepunx]

mchaley: i have pretty much everything by pendulum and prodigy, and i couldn't agree with you more, great great artists. i just wish prodigy had some new stuff

Grab some wham/george michael, U2, the cure is always good driving music, smashing pumpkins, tears for fears, supertramp, duran duran, cold play, a perfect circle.

I have all these(plus alot more, 500 songs total) on a 2GB flash drive thats hooked up to my headunit all the time, I never use the radio or CD

[blamethepunx]

c91blx7: cure = awesome driving music, good call. i have a 4gb ipod nano in there all the time, i know what you mean about not needing radio or cd! but you'd be surprised how old 4gb of music can get in 4+ days haha
