The Official "Driving Music" Forum
Had my mini for a week now and I am always finding an excuse to go out and motor!
Today I got an ipod nano to hook up to the mini and downloaded all my music and when the wife asked me to head out to the store for some things we needed you know I said "NO PROBLEM".
So the ipod was ready and I headed out. I was thinking what a great thread it would be to have us post some of our favorite driving tunes all while listening to a great one which is now my favorite while driving the mini @ night.
So my favorite late night song to drive to in the mini is:
Pearl Jam - Of the Girl
Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with and I hope to find some new tunes as well through here.

I heard 'do it again' when it was pre-released to some popular Radio DJ in the UK
I don't remember his name but I fell in LOVE with the song. Even a couple minutes ago when I was coming home in a bad mood I listened to it and it just pumped me up. Then again most of their songs do that =P
I want to remix that song sooo baddd!
Sorry-Didn't want to hijack >_>

I play CDs in my MINI. Keep listening till one is done because as a rule, with my morning commute to the Park N Ride, I hear 2 or 3 songs on any given run, ditto for going to Scout meetings or running quick errands.
Favorites are Evanescence, then greatest hits of The Who, The Clash, David Bowie, various Beatles compilations, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here" which I plug in for longer trips, greatest hits of Blondie, The Doors, the B-52s and now just found a cool group called Within Tempation which has been out for years; also Thelonius Monk and Mingus;
favorite tune is theme from The Avengers (also use as cellphone ring).

Jorgen Ingman and his Guitar - Zorba
Benny Goodman - Sing Sing Sing (Live at Carnegie Hall 1938)
Captian Beefheart - Sure Nuff Yes I Do
The Jesus Lizard - Nub
The Kinks - Victoria
The Modern Lovers - Roadrunner (yeah, it's about a Plymouth. it's still the best car song ever. The Jazz Butcher's version will work, too)
Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive
The Ramones - California Sun
Canned Heat - Going up Country (It gives me tickets, though)
Wow, I could go on all night...
The wife thinks that the record to listen to in the MINI is The John Spencer Blues Explosion - Orange. I think its because both are pretty bouncy. I'm not gonna argue.
