Music And Classic Motors

chevyv8

hi , just wondering what music people listen to when driving their classic motors? Do they listen to the music of when the motor was in its day or what? i drive a 75 yank and remember the music of the 70s like it was yesterday, some of it was pure crap and other stuff was brilliant. Bowie was at his best:D , cockney rebel, stones, even slade and t rex . A one hit wonder that is still brilliant today as it was way back when was GOLDEN EARRINGS " RADAR LOVE" , and no i aint stuck in a time warp, some of the new stuff is brilliant to cruise to with windows down , amp up. like kings of leon , white stripes , the fantastic brilliant FUN LOVIN CRIMINALS :cool: , and the brilliant ALABAMA 3....:D Just curious as to others preferences.

I can't hear anything in my MGBGT because of the racket out of the exhaust, so I tend not to bother stocking it with CDs - listen to Radio Na Life, or Phantom FM

In me other cars, some Andy Kershaw recordings, Beach Boys, They Might Be Giants, Alcatrazz, Los Straitjackets, Bambi Molestors, J Geils Band

Nothing specific to the car ;-)

I don't own a classic but if I owned a seventies British car I'd have Ian Dury and the Blockheads blasting out immortal lines such as:

"Arseholes, bastards, ****ing c*nts and pr1cks!"

LOL

hi , ian dury , fantastic album, every track a classic,:D as i said i love the 70s sounds, but driving a rumbling v8 i have to turn up the sounds, and im sure some of the younger folk are wondering what the hell im playing, bat out of hell is another great driving album. any springsteen , dr feelgood, there is an endless stream of great sounds from that era.... an album if i never ever ever hear again is RUMOURS by fleetwood mac:rolleyes: , think id drive into a wall if i heard it again..:eek: what stuff gets you to turn off the sounds........:cool:

camarobill

there's a good audio in my ride too. I listen to what I really like. I have about 6500 songs on my PC so I can find something nice form Metallica to for example J. Timberlake From 60s till now. I don't remember 70s music as it was yesterday because I'm not so "classic"... :cool:

Max_Damage

While I don't have a classic unfortunatly , there is a few songs that I reckon would be good to listen too...

Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
Spiderbait - Black Betty
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama (good if you have an old Yank Tank )
AC/DC - Thunderstruck
Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing (Live version is always better)
Neil Young - Rockin' In The Free World

There is many others I just can't think of at the moment, but any classic rock/metal and you can't go wrong.

ha ha, great thread. was hoofing around dublin city centre earlier with the Jam belting out of the stereo, also a bit of sex pistols :D

350GT

Nice choices lads:)

When im not listening to the lovely sound of my V8 its got to be Highway Star from the best 70' Album Machine Head by Deep Purple I mix that with a dose of AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie a bit of Framton Comes Alive -Do You Feel Like We Do (live) some Who's Next Bab O' Rielly my main man Rory Gallagher Messing With The Kid some Wishbone Ask Blown Free and a mix of Metallica Nothing Else Matters and the Legends who are Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb will do

Bowwww Shicha Wow Wow

If you've got a decent V8 under the bonnet you don't need music....just wind down the window!!:D
