Hey all,
I'm making a high-tempo/energy driving playlist. Fitting it on a CD, and it'll be called "Beware of Cops," since these are songs you get caught up in while driving until you realize you're going 20 over the speed limit. So far I have:
Bat Out of Hell-Meat Loaf
Acid Rain-Liquid Tension Experiment
Wasted Years-Iron Maiden
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here-Porcupine Tree
Don't Stop Me Now-Queen
Songs I'm considering:
Meduzz-Infected Mushroom
Smokin'-Boston
Highway Star-Deep Purple
Gravemakers and Gunslingers-Coheed & Cambria
Red Barchetta-Cover by James LaBrie & Steve Morse
The Mob Rules-Black Sabbath
I have a bunch of rock/metal stuff on here already, which I love, but I've just been asking around through facebook statuses and now, this forum to see if we can get into other genres/bands outside of my normal rock/metal/prog leanings. Alright, hit me!
-
Anything by DragonForce
-
Anything by DragonForce
Thought about that, but I already have two monster songs (Bat and Arriving Somewhere, 9 and 12 mins) and I don't want to devote 7-9 minutes for Dragonforce, though I have considered Strike of the Ninja, their shortest song, which everyone knows is the greatest Dragonforce, nay, the greatest power metal song ever.
-
How about The White Rabbits (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eizro0zJpQ)
Fort Nightly is probably their fastest album
Also Percussion Gun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IClBpch9vmM)
-
Maybe some thrash and punk?
Stuff like Exodus, Kreator, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, etc...
Interested in that kinda music?
-
Move Bitch by Ludacris.
"I'm DUI, hardly ever caught sober and you about to get ran the fuck over."
-
Holy Fuck - The Pulse.
Or a lot of other Holy Fuck.
-
Maybe some Motörhead?
-
Another Holy War - Blind Guardian
La Grange - ZZ Top
Vital Tranformation - Mahavishnu Orchestra
Freeway Jam - Jeff Beck
Hymn #43 - Jethro Tull
-

Uh, it's F Zero, thread's over.
-
Sorry, that just makes you look like a nerd.
-
1. Roll down windows.
2. Turn radio to 25.
3. Play this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMBNNFObSM0).
4. Get arrested.
-
Roadrunner - The Modern Lovers
-
This Mix needs lots of Kyuss. Something off ofWelcome to Sky Valley should do the trick.
-
Thanks for the replies so far, but for stuff like Cannibal Corpse, I forgot to make it clear I'm looking for GOOD music that doesn't sound like vomiting.
@Yayniall: How the hell did I forget one of the most rockin' videogame soundtracks ever??? Hopefully it can find a home.
@Squawk: Holy Fuck is pretty good. The Pulse is definitely gonna have to find a way onto this, and I'm gonna have to invest in an album/EP.
@Be My Head: Some thrash for me is okay, but Punk hasn't interested me that much ever. They're just two genres that have a few good songs apiece but the rest I can just ignore.
Thanks again!
-
Roadrunner - The Modern Lovers
On repeat for seventy minutes.
I'm struggling to think which track from 69 Love Songs would go on this mix. As we all know, every mixtape has to include a song from 69 Love Songs. It's the Law.
-
Roadrunner - The Modern Lovers
As Inlander said, that is the only song you need. Maybe Sister Ray as well.
-
Breaking the Law - Judas Priest
If the police signal you to pull over, play this song and break three more laws before pulling over with your window open.
-
"Speed" - Atari Teenage Riot
-
This Mix needs lots of Kyuss. Something off ofWelcome to Sky Valley should do the trick.
This.
"Gardenia" or "Odyssey" should fit the bill perfectly.
-
Nujabe's "Ristorante Mixtape"
-
Kyuss and Metallica's self titled have been my driving mix for a long time. Also, Slayer's debut. I alternate them with Ulver's Nattens Madrical occaisonally if I'm in a bad mood/feel like annoying the car next to me (I've got a car with a removable roof, see).
-
Actually what you need is a cassette. On one side, as previously discussed, will be "Road Runner" on repeat. On the other side will be just a shitload of bluegrass.
Oh, and somewhere on the cassette you'd have to have "The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side" from 69 Love Songs, because it's about driving and because you don't want to get pulled over by the mixtape police for not obeying the Law.
-
1. Roll down windows.
2. Turn radio to 25.
3. Play this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMBNNFObSM0).
4. Get arrested.
Surely this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovwv50kB6WU) would be more appropriate? (Also a better song).
Right, looking at the songs in your first post, and positing off in a variety of directions, only things I can find on youtube:
Star One - Set Your Controls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrys1i2h2-U)
Star One - Hawkwind Medley (feat. Dave Brock) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbDLOvBtrLk&feature=related)
Wuthering Heights - Land of Olden Glory (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO4aY8Rxhz4)
Judas Priest - Hell Patrol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPB8-x11TXo)
Judas Priest - All Guns Blazing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVL0bcdJIew)

-
It is a MUCH better song, I just like the intro.
-
Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm4X9yElG9Y)
Goddamn yes. Kicking myself for missing that one.
Nobody with a good car needs to be justified.
-
The Hold Steady are pretty awesome driving music.
-
That CD needs a little Trash-Metal.
What about a little Megadeth, Sodom, Kreator.... or heck, why not
W.A.S.P. - I Wanna Be Somebody ...
Saxon is good too. Motörhead, Manowar...
And if you want to know what already earned me a speeding ticket - it was Iron Maiden. Run to the Hills.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZlDZPYzfm4
Guess, my next one will be either due to Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) or Disturbed - Land of Confusion (Genesis Cover).
-
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Bruce Springsteen - Cadillac Ranch
Bruce Springsteen - No Surrender
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Deep Purple - Burn
Deep Purple - Fireball (perhaps edit out the bass solo - it sort of breaks up the momentum)
Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench
Great Big Sea - Run Runaway
Great Big Sea - Mari-Mac
Guns N' Roses - Mr. Brownstone
Harlequin - I Did It For Love
Heart - Barracuda
Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills
Joe Satriani - Motorcycle Driver

Yeah.
-
Goddamn yes. Kicking myself for missing that one.
Nobody with a good car needs to be justified.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the Redline/Whiteline version on youtube. That is my favourite version, as it includes the extended intro and the absolutely indispensable "B-B-B-BURNOUT....................Let's HIT the FUCKING road!" bit.
Other great songs not on youtube included all the Orange Goblin songs I actually wanted, mainly Magic Carpet and Quincy the Pig Boy.
"He's heading out on Highway 666
He killed his mother 'cos she would not suck his dick..."
-
Wolfmother - Joker & The Thief
Wolfmother - Woman
Or just add 2 more, better Led Zeppelin songs.
-
Missed one...
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock
-
Ted Nugent - Stranglehold
-
Quality of Armor - Guided By Voices
Capture with a Magnet - The Thermals
Probably the entirety of More Parts Per Million and Fuckin' A by The Thermals..
Most Future of the Left..I could go on.
-
This is all you need (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdLyoCgDKFs&feature=related)
-
Judas Priest - Hell Patrol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPB8-x11TXo)
Oh
Judas Priest - All Guns Blazing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVL0bcdJIew)
Fuck
Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm4X9yElG9Y)
Yes.
Don't actually know most of those songs, but those three at least belong on there.
I've found that heavier stuff actually is less likely to be good driving music for some reason. I guess the type of driving music depends, some music is good toe-tapping (assuming you are driving an automatic, otherwise that can be hazardous to your health), steering wheel drumming, exciting driving music, and some is for when you have miles of empty roads in your headlights, nowhere to go, nothing to do, and two pots of coffee in your belly. Kyuss and s/t-era Clutch are good examples of the latter kind of driving music, but not the first kind. At least Sky Valley Kyuss, whichever record it was that had Hurricane on it might be different.
Then there is the rainy/snowy driving music, and if you don't have The Mantle or Ashes Against the Grain as an option for that, you are doing it wrong.
-
The Hold Steady are pretty awesome driving music.
...if you want it to seem like there's someone in the car yelling at you while you're trying to drive.
-

Just put on some coldplay instead. The music is pretty much the same, but the vocals are a bit less annoying.
-
Caspian, I think you just made every Agalloch fan in the world burst into simultaneous tears. The sea level has risen an inch due to all the tears falling, and it's going to be attributed to global warming.
To be slightly more on-topic though, we have:
Electric Wizard- Funeralopolis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO7VP34n2Ps)

-
If we're going to have Electric Wizard for driving it should be Dunwich (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdW8lt6u4RY)
-
This is all you need (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdLyoCgDKFs&feature=related)
I remember when I was a little kid, my life with the thrill kill cult was the cool band all the other bands I liked was into.
Woah what the fuck happened there.
-
Oh, also. The soundtrack for Gran Turismo 4.
-
Woah what the fuck happened there.
It stopped being the nineties nearly ten years ago.
-
About nine and a half, to be exact.

Communication Breakdown - Led Zeppelin

Yeah, I can't really imagine driving around to dopethrone, rad as it may be. You'd definitely get arrested.
-
As the cops walk up play the bad boys theme song as loud as you can.
-
duh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VELvq-faGk)

Caspian, I will hunt you down and gut you with a rusty hatchet.

Hey guys I thought of another one.
Don't get shot! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVfeLavkFso)
-
Wow, surprised to see this thread still up...I just might have to make a playlist of all the songs The Joker suggested, shuffle it and see what happens since I have most of them anyway. I'm slowly getting around to checking out all the other stuff, like this 69 Love Songs thats supposed to be on every mix ever. I thought that rule was for Queen II? Anyways, I have this right now for one disc, though I might replace some songs with the songs you guys have recommended if I like 'em enough. Not the Star One stuff though. I can't stand Arjen/Ayreon 90% of the time unless its The Human Equation. Thanks!
The Pulse-Holy Fuck
Wasted Years-Iron Maiden
The Mob Rules-Black Sabbath (was originally Trashed, but I already had Gillian on a track)
Acid Rain-Liquid Tension Experiment
Highway Star-Deep Purple
Smokin'-Boston (will probably be replaced. Organ solo not the best for driving)
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here-Porcupine Tree
Don't Stop Me Now-Queen
Red Barchetta-James LaBrie/Steve Morse/Billy Sheehan/Mike Portnoy (Rush cover)
Big Blue-Retro Remix Revue (F-Zero music!)
Gravemakers & Gunslingers-Coheed & Cambria
Bat Out of Hell-Meat Loaf
-
Metal?
Driving fast is all about Drum & Bass. Pendulum is a good place to start.
-
Helmet. Maybe this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIcQAdv6W-Q) it's fitting.
Alabama Thunderpussy, especially this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUvkIuxq3OM)
Actually, I think it depends on the car. What displacement is the engine? I'm either going to recommend some rock and southern-fried metal or some pussy j-rock and rap.
-
Damn! I was going to say Sir Lord Baltimore & Fu Manchu...BEATEN!
I would also like to throw into the ring, some soundtracks:
*The song from Bevely Hills Cop when he first drives into Beverly Hills, it makes whatever you are doing feel like an awesome party!
(An hour looking for parking spots with my boyfriend proved this)
Infact:
* Axel F.
* The theme from Commando
* Anything from the Robocop soundtrack.
* Some Danny Elfman for a Tim Burton film (esp. Opening theme from Beetlejuice) if you are somewhere rural in the dark. Creepy.
* Big Audio Dynamite - B.A.D. (it's the song the garage attendents have on when they steal the ferrari in Ferris Bueller, but you knew that.)
*
Maybe not good for a muscle car racing along, but good for fun road trips!
Or maybe:
Ween - My Own Bare Hands. (I just like this song at the moment)
Rocket From The Crypt - On A Rope
Parts & Labour - A Great Divide (Happy & Rockin')
I have already started making a mix with everyone elses suggestions, I like this game!
-
Any of the fast,heavy tunes by Nile or Nevermore.
-
Hurriganes - Get On (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGCviZAdxeY&feature=related)
All of their albums are good for high-tempo driving.
-
Motorhead - Iron Fist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4yHyHdJK5g)
-
Alabama Thunderpussy, especially this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUvkIuxq3OM)
YES. I've also found southern rock/metal to be exceptional for driving, regardless of your actual physical location.
I would also like to add
Artimus Pyledriver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RwrGJzkjO0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RwrGJzkjO0)
and
Zeke: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9sAB3sK_XA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9sAB3sK_XA)
