Driving Songs

[travis442]

All right, I did a search and couldn't find a similar post. For those of you who listen to music while riding this is for you.

What is your playlist comprised of? Do you have certain songs that you really like to listen too? I'm trying to get some ideas for an awesome playlist to listen to while riding.

I make mix tapes (yeah , tapes , what of it ? ) . I make them based on moods . I'd give you some of my favorite songs ,but I have no idea what kind of music you like .

I don't listen to music when I'm riding.

Well I'm not to picky when it comes to music, here is what I have so far.

Black Betty - Ram Jam
Never Gonna Come Back Down - Gone in 60 Seconds Soundtrack
Never Again - Nickelback
Third Rock from the Sun - Joe Diffie
Demonoid Phenomenon - Rob Zombie
What Was I thinkin' - Dierks Bentley
Born to Be Wild - Steppenwolf
Barracuda - Heart
Life in the Fast Lane - The Eagles
The Fight Song - Marilyn Manson
Bad Habit - The Offspring
Paradise City - Guns N' Roses

As you can see so far it is a pretty diverse list, so I'm open to suggestions. It would be cool just to see what everybody else likes to listen to while driving to though.

Can't beat it for a nice ride with good scenery, just the right pace...man I wish it wasn't raining at the moment.

I don't listen to music when I ride because my old helmet didn't allow for headphones and I was too lazy to fix it. Now, with the new lid I should have the room. Songs I would ride to would be...

- The Hand That Feeds (Nine Inch Nails)
- Animal (Def Leppard)
- That Song (Big Wreck)
- Blackhole Sun (Sound Garden)
- Zero (Smashing Pumpkins)
- Bawitdaba (Kid Rock)
- Headspace (Velvet Revolver)
- Save Yourself (Stabbing Westward)
