edited June 2007 in Other Music
I have to listen to music when i'm driving (drowns out my bad gear changes), but i keep making 'driving mixes' depending on what mood i'm in, or the time of day or night.

atm my favourites to drive to are;

Finding Beauty - Craig Armstrong
Immortality and Inside Job - PJ
Name - Goo Goo Dolls (amazing going along at 70 on a dark motorway with no one around)
While my Guitar Gently Weeps - The beatles
Emotion Sickness and Tuna in the Brine - silverchair
Notice - Gomez

amongst many others. Just wondering what other people thought were great driving tracks

    I find any Better Than Ezra album to be perfect driving albums (w/ the exception of "How Does Your Garden Grow", which is an amazing album but not really a driving album) "Closer" is the best driving album I've ever heard

    Really?! I love to drive to that song. It kinda reminds me of that Jerry Maguire scene where Cruise is trying to find a good song to drive to and finally finds free fallin. That's me in my car :D

    March of the Pigs - NIN is a pretty good driving tune. But I have to set the car on cruise or I'm in trouble.
