    So I was driving early - about an hour long journey and it was all relatively mundane - my back was sore I wasn't enjoying it so much. Shlte on the radio so I had my mp3 player playing away randomly but nothing inspiring. Next thing The original James Bond theme tune came on and suddenly I'm not noticing my back pain and having and really enjoying the drive (a bit faster too it must be said :p)....hahaha

    But it set me wondering - anyone got any favourite driving tunes.

    I can come up with the following that I somteims find myself putting on in the car:
    James Bond theme tune (:D)
    Iggy Pop The Passenger
    Any Chemical Brothers makes for great driving music
    Cake have some good car related songs
    I am the Highway by Audioslave


    Anyone else got any inspired choices ???

    It varies according to my humour.

    One day it can be AC/DC the next Harry Chapin.

    Queen, Thin Lizzy, The Dubliners, Nanci Griffith, REM, U2, Depeche Mode, Big Country, etc, etc.

    Thank God for the iPod dock connection in my DS3! And the HiFi system with the tight subwoofer in the boot makes those long journeys a real pleasure.

    At the moment it is Band Of Spice - Feel Like Coming Home

    Song 2 "Turn your face" is getting repeated a lot. :)
    Song 1 "Dear Lord" had its turn.

    If your into Rock i'd be surprised if you didn't sing along to "Turn your face"

    Fleetwood Mac - Rumours is in the CD player today. Was listening to Chinese Democracy today too, an album I wish I hated but don't :(

    Rammstein, Metallica, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Slayer etc. Mainly metal.

    I usually make CDs for the car and I only ever have one in the CD changer and I just listen to that until I'm sick to the teeth of it, then make a new one :D

    I'm listening to the Tron: Legacy soundtrack lately, excellent driving album, especially with a half decent sub.

    Also, I've been meaning to download buy this, it'd make a great track for nice windy back road

    I never listen to the radio, the sound of a turbo spooling is far better than any tune.
