As the title says. I’ve been listening to some synth, some alternative rock, some electronica. But I find a lot of the music I usually listen to doesn’t sound that great in my car. And I also find I’m more open to different music genres while driving.
I’m curious to know what you’re into, if you want to share artists then the more the better.
Euro beat. GAS GAS GAS, I GOTTA STEP ON THE GAS TONIGHT
I just have all my music on a drive on my stereo on shuffle. I just keep going until something sounds good and then go with that vibe.
I had an idea where if a cop tries to pull you over, you pick a number between 1 and 5 and if you get a good chase music song within those skips you have to attempt a getaway. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, but it’s a funny idea. I could see it in a movie or game or show, though.
I like your idea
Same, I just go full random on my entire itunes library on my iphone through carplay.
It is a good mix of classic rock, punk, 80s/90s/00s pop, classical music, bitpop, and trance.
Depends on the kind of driving I’m doing.
But usually whatever I’m feeling at the time.
Hard driving 70’s and 80’s guitar rock. Radar Love. Smoke on the Water. Sweet Home Alabama. Don’t Fear the Reaper. Life in the Fast Lane. Thunderstruck.
I’ll be checking out some of those. I need an oldies mixed playlist for driving
Psytrance. It makes the car go faster.
Anything without lyrics. I can’t stand the sound of people’s voices. So this is usually some sort of EDM, Dubstep, Phonk, Experimental, NCS (No Copyright Sounds), etc
I am very picky about voices in song for most of my music preferences, so I get where you’re coming from. I’m usually listening to electronica or instrumental whatever. However I find driving makes me tolerate singing better, so I’m adding more tracks with lyrics. I didn’t even know No Copyright Sounds was a music category
Unsolicited suggestion from my driving playlist: Icy Lust - Downtown Maglev
I always enjoyed driving to that one with good audio. The way it builds up slowly is great for being on the road.
Radio : NPR. ( Love me some local news, & marketplace is the bomb.com) Spotify : almost anything. Recently it’s been Sleep Token, Coheed & Cambria, Kamasi Washington, synthwave boy, Sithu Aye, oddisee, the Offline
I don’t think I know any of those, I’ll check it out
I listen to the radio defaulting to npr and if nothing interesting is on I jump through the major song stations and if all else fails I have some tull. Once in awhile if I want to know traffic or weather I will switch to the news station.
I’ve been listening to Ghost’s new album Skeleta.
The loudest fastest music on my playlist
Speed metal it is…
Nothing.
Jazz, especially in the evening. Some of Bill Evans more sparse stuff, Dave Bruebeck quartet. I like the back and forth of ensemble playing too, musical conversations. Like you know what they’re saying? It’s a feeling, not a forgone conclusion. You dig?
Ohh jazz I should expand my jazz listening. I’ll look into those
Night driving:
- Dark synthwave / retrowave / outrun / shredwave (genres)
Desert driving:
- Animals by Pink Floyd (album)
- The Budos Band (band)
I didn’t know outrun and shredwave were genres, I’ll check it out.
Walk the Moon.
Just love all their music. Puts me in a good mood
EDM, game music from my favorite games soundtracks, or my favorite thrash or progressive metal.
Recently I’ve also been listening to a lot of traditional folk music from the middle east.
Anything sounds great with a good enough car speaker system I guess.
