Music to drive by, what you got??

[podge]

I’m sure that this has been covered before but what the hell-
On my way home from work today this came on the radio and before I new it I was away with the old steering wheel guitar...
So here are a few of my favourite classic driving tunes.
I have no idea if the lyrics have some sort of deeper meaning and I don’t really care, but it is a good tune.




And of course you can’t drive any distance without a bit of Stone Rose’s



And then there’s the mighty Pink Floyd




No question that Dave Gilmore is a guitar god
Bit of a mix and mash there ain’t it!!!!
Anybody else got anything worth a listen then????????

I have funk-bassed my way to work on this recently..........

I listen to a WIDE span of music - pretty much everything except country. Although recently I guess I would say i've been listening to more "Rage Against the Machine" , "Chevelle", "Blindside", "Silverchair" and "Metallica". I would post some of their videos but they may not be suitable for younger viewers I guess Chevelle and Blindside would be ok:

Good one Scott, I like The Red by Chevelle.

An old Phil Lynott / Thin Lizzy song, a slow blues in Am, re-done by Gary Moore & Brian Robertson. [Long but if you like blues/rock guitar stick with it].

All that talk of Barry White on the Mullet a la Podge thread turned up this old Bad Company gem:

 

[podge]

Or how about a bit of Jimi Hendrix either loud or mellow, it’s all good.

Metallica
Janice Joplin
Deep Purple (still big in Russia!)
compilation of Armenian duduk instrumentals

 

[Lockedin]

All greats! New iphone playlist for my morning commute!

A production assistant (gopher, runner etc.) that visits me regularly has a band I began playing recently - I thought the made a fun listen:

Amie Street - Charlie Vaughn & the Daily Routine's Music Store

 

[Svedberg]

Amon Amarths new album Twilight of the thunder god :inlove

 

[Mr. X]

Deep Purple (still big in Russia!)

Deep Purple are living legends. I think we need some Led Zepplin - but which song?? How about some Rock and Roll
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QpYvPpmiqo]YouTube - Led Zeppelin - Rock and Roll-Rock'n Roll -aLive !!! 1979 -[/ame]

Or, music to leave Georgia by?... "You need coolin'..."
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_hxCJYbUXo]YouTube - Whole Lotta Love - Jimmy Page - Robert Plant[/ame]



And then Podge brings up Jimi without even mentioning:

...or
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsgHyauIUZY&feature=related]YouTube - Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe (Teeth Solo)[/ame]
or...

Don't miss the dive bombing on that last one. It caused quite a stir back in the day - saw a great clip on Jimi being interviewed on the American Ed Sullivan TV show about this performance, where Ed explains that Jimi served his country as US marine/paratrooper(?) and Jimi describes it as "beautiful".

To drive by.......

 

[Mr. X]

Hawkwind...Stonehenge Festival legends. It was always a topic of discussion, back in the day, when would Hawkwind show up? Surely they'll be there? Steve Hilage, Mike Moorcock,...


How about this for a drive track:
[ame=http://pop.youtube.com/watch?v=OrljWGIHB7c&feature=related]YouTube - Canned Heat - On The Road Again (feat. Alan Wilson)[/ame]

There's a track I'm trying to find, it's played occasionally on Radio 2 in the morning. I think the group is Canned Heat & the song reminds me of a lot of several later songs, including a ZZ Top style riff. Just can't find it at the moment.

 

[sunfish]

YouTube - canned heat lets work together+

Was it this one?
