Anybody have any good driving albums?
I think my favourite would have to be "Live" by AC/DC. It's just got a really great sound and vibe for a live album and the standard edition, single disc, takes the best moments of it and it makes a really cracking driving album!
This week I've been trying to get back into taking a CD in the car, listening to one on the way to work and something else on the way home. My drive to work can be a bit trying and so I've been trying to build up the collection a bit and hopefully re-kindle my love of driving albums.
I remember being on a trip home (visiting Aus from the UK) before, few years back now, the new JET album had just come out. So that was always on when we were driving around. Their 3rd and final album and probably their best IMHO.
And I remember driving around in the USA to Buckcherry's 15 album, that had just come out at the time.
This week so far I've got lined up...
- Toys in the Attic
- Led Zeppelin II
- Highway to Hell
- Appetite...
Can't argue with that. 4 classics. And then I've got some other new stuff to listen to. The new Cheap Trick, Hollywood Vampires... lots of different stuff. Last week I had A's "Hi-Fi Serious", P.o.D's "Satellite"... re-living my early 00s stuff!!
Honestly. It's just good to stick CDs on in the car. I feel like it just needs to be a thing again. We miss out on so much with the download/stream/individual song/single culture the digital age has generated.
And I'm only young and I'd rather go back to "the old ways"

No jazz. Too much going on musically. Distracting.
No classical. Dynamics in the music and road noise. render quieter parts inaudible.

Through to stuff like Manilla Road, Cirith Ungol and the like.
Motown works well.
Folk and ambient gets lost, whilst extreme metal becomes a wash of noise.
Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish. More 00s grooves
