My last long road trip

I had everything loaded up for the ski trip last New Year, everything except the music. I ended up listening to the music off the Play Station SuperCross circut CD for 32 hours out & back. It's kind of cool for the 1st 20 miles or so then you start to go nuts:uh:

"seven days a week new planet"

 

[Chief]

Metal God- Judas Priest
Midnight Rider- Allman Brothers
Burnin' Sky-Bad Co
Cowboy-Bon Jovi

 

[MrLuckey]

Team 'California' listened to the same CREED CD for 37.5 hours straight, all the way back from DirtWeek '01.

acdc- highway to hell

 

[XRpredator]

I don't go anywere without these (some repeats):

• Allman Bros. - Midnight Rider, Jessica, One Way Out
• Led Zeppelin - pretty much anything
• Aerosmith - the entire Pandora's Box set
• Judas Priest - You Got Another Thing Comin'
• Call me crazy, but the Forrest Gump soundtrack
• CCR - Run Through the Jungle, Born on the Bayou, Fortunate Son
• Bad Company - their Anthology
• Van Halen - Runnin' with the Devil, Unchained, and all of Women and Children First
• Sly and the Family Stone - Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)
• The Eric Clapton Crossroads box set
• Neil Young - all of Harvest Moon
• Anything by Dick Dale or Duane Eddy - gotta love that surfer music!

You always gotta bring someone with you to run the tunes! 14 hours to Salt Lake City, you figure this stuff out . . . :cool:

Man I'm sorry that must have sucked the big one!

Ultimate driving song?--------Flirtin With Disaster by Molly Hatchet

 

[fremontguy]

If you're staying in the 70,80 era, howabout: Sex Pistols- Rock and Roll Swindle, Guns and Roses- Live, Early Def Lepard, Black Flag, etc. etc.
I just load the cd changer and cassete deck and let em play, no dj mix.

 

[dirt bike dave]

Jim,
Glad to see Radar Love was on your list - GREAT driving song!

I nominate "Jailbreak" and 'The Boys Are Back in Town" from Thin Lizzy.

&

Back in Black + Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC

 

[Budda]

A great song for a twisty road would be Seasons in the Abyss, by Slayer. Its got a good medium paced beat. If you listen to their other stuff, though, it might lead to road rage!:debil:

 

[94ruck]

How about the entire Black Sabbath Vol. 4., Rush 2112,then thrown in the new Linkin Park CD just so you don't feel old.

 

[angry jim]

KXer Heaven and Hell is one of my all time favorite songs. I never thought anyone would say that one, but it's on for sure.
Budda- Love the whole Seasons in the Abyss album. Reighn in Blood and the like are very hardcore.
I like a lot of these suggestions so far. I know most of these songs well. You guys figured out that if it has guitar, I like it.

more... Kiss-Detroit Rock City. Van Halen-Eruption/You Really got Me; Dokken-Breaking the Chains; The Cult-Rain; Pantera-Walk.... keep em' coming.

It's right up there with Elvira, Delta Dawn and Achey Breakey Heart as my all time most hated songs. :uh:

Try "Machine Gun"--from the Band of Gypsies album--Jimi Hendrix

 

[KXKen]

Man you guys sound like a bunch of old farts

My son always wants to listen to that metal rap stuff. Some of it I can tolerate but (Disturbed I don't like) when he falls asleep in the truck (which doesn't take long) I put on Jeff Beck Wired.

Can't disagree anybodys picks so far. Man are we getting old or what?

[Jeff Gilbert]

It's been a while but when I was a kid it had to be Zeplin, The Song Remains the Same. Wow:think

 

[KTMster]

Crusty Demons of Dirt CDs, they make me think of the videos and riding.

 

[Battered Sav]

Shopping with the missus the other day, came across Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms, had to buy it, huge flashbacks, reckon some of them songs could be good for driving. ( mellow, with a bit of edge )
Most of the other suggestions rock, dont know about convoy though. ;)

 

[Camstyn]

I've done the same thing just recently, here's what I came up with:

Static X - (i forget)
Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone
Ministry - Jesus Built my Hotrod
Fear Factory - Shock
Ozzy - No More Tears
Slayer - (i forget)
Disturbed - The Game
Static X - Bleeding Inside
White Zombie - Thunderkiss '65
Metallica - So What
Ozzy - Mama I'm Coming Home
Clutch - Careful with that Mike
Pantera - Cemetary Gates

and a few more that I can't think of
