OK, it's warm, 9:30 pm, and your hopping in the VX to go for a spin down (your favorite strect of road here). No worries, no work the next day...what are your top 3 tunes, and where is your final destination to stop and reflect before turning back for home...
Top three tunes:
Girls on Film - Duran Duran
The Beat Goes On - Britney Spears
Xanadu - Olivia Newton-John & ELO
Favorite place to visit:
La Jolla Beach
Blood, sweat, and tears "when I die"
The doobie brothers "mississippi moon"
Soul Coughing "disseminated"
And I always end up at Country Kitchen for coffee. It may take until 3 am to get there, but that's usually where I end up.
The Specials - "Ghost Town (Extended 12" version)"
The Stranglers - "Golden Brown"
The Clash - "London Calling"
No specific destination...the cell phone usually rings and it's time to turn around...
-- John
War- Summer
Shaggy- That Girl
Anything where Bruce Hornsby is banging away on the ivory.
(Strange mix huh?)
Simply drive until I clear work outta my head...
________
THE CIGAR BOSS
Top three tunes:
Summer in Siam - Pogues
World Freak Show (Or anything by) - The Levellers
Anything by Bob Marley
Favorite place to visit:
There's a lot of private desert around here, but the tailings of the Glove Mine near Tubac are kind of magical at sunset.
Born Slippy - Underworld
Jane Says - Jane's Addiction
Pyramid Song - Radiohead
You know, this is an evil question, cause I could drive for hours and hours JUST to hear ALL the sings I want to hear. ;)
PS- Having that insane sound system with high wattage and heavy subs makes it all that much better. Ah.... the life.... :D
It definitely depends on the mood I'm in, but here are the top 3 overall (probably a bit rougher than other stuff here):
1. Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up
2. Weezer - Hash Pipe
3. Sublime - Santeria
Destination: some kick-***** technical mountain bike trail, such as this one (closest to me).
I'll have to list three fave albums:
1) Beatles - The Beatles
2) Kevin Gilbert - Thud
3) Counting Crows - August and Everything After
These 3 are always with me on every trip... great listening beginning to end! I like to drive east into no-man's-land and perch on some dirt hill on a soon-to-be-developed residential neighborhood. I did it the day I got my VX and it's a nice way to relax.
1) Filter-Under
2)Kid Rock-Cowboy
3)Areosmith-Mother Popcorn
It's not about the destination...it's about the journey. Doesn't matter where I'm going as long I'm driving.
Well I listen to entire albums not just a song at a time so I can give you the top bands
Drive fast mix:
Megadeath
Pantera
Rage
Cruisin mode:
Modest Mouse
Pink Floyd
Hendrix
Tool, can be played anytime!
Favorite place to drive has to be the Old Glenn Highway, it hasn't been maintained for over 10 years so hardly anyone drives it and now there is a New Glenn Highway which makes the trip shorter. With the VX I can go 70-80 down this extremely bumpy, unmaintained road and if I catch someone they are normally going 40 and can pass them imediately, as I pass them all they see is "NASA" LOL! This is the same road you drive to go to the drag strip so that makes it that much cooler!
Top Three Tunes:
Fast moving:
Feel Me Flow - Naughty By Nature
Losing My Mind - Tupac
Runited - Wu-Tang Clan
Smooth:
10 Years - Darius Rucker
I Think God Can Explain - Splender
I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto - Tupac
One of my favorite places to drive :
West Side Highway, NYC
going south from the 125st right down to the Holland tunnel!
Chet, that's cheating!!! No categories! ;)Quote:

Oh, com'n! It has traffic lights every other block. :) If you're willing to deal with traffic lights you gotta try Broadway, from Columbus Cirlce, through the entire city, all the way down to Battery Park downtown. The best way to check out most of New York in one short drive.Quote:

wow, Its cool to see all these responses! Alaska looks like you and I have the closest taste, as I never would have guessed ANYONE would say Modest Mouse.
My Top 3
any given day...
New Orleans is Sinking...The Tragically Hip
Mountain Song...Janes Addiction
Plastic Flowers On The Highway...Drive By Trckers
Give me an old dirt road that goes on for miles by farmstands, and fields, and then some small town where I can stop and get a soda and some sandwiches. A tent, and an old blanket, and of course my wife, and I'll be doing just fine.
I love these kind of questions until I realize just how impossible they are for me to answer! If you knew how much music I have and how broad the selection is... so I'll just go with some faves from the current "Road Disc" that's in the changer:
Zankoku na Tenshi no Te-ze - Takahashi Yoko (from Neon Genesis Evangelion)
Supernaut - 1000 Homo DJ's
She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult
And I love the long non-eventful run down Hwy-17 to our land in Fort Meade where we're about to build a monolithic dome home. 41.5 beautiful acres of this: http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/sh...papass=&sort=1
