As the title says. I’ve been listening to some synth, some alternative rock, some electronica. But I find a lot of the music I usually listen to doesn’t sound that great in my car. And I also find I’m more open to different music genres while driving.
I’m curious to know what you’re into, if you want to share artists then the more the better.
Hard driving 70’s and 80’s guitar rock. Radar Love. Smoke on the Water. Sweet Home Alabama. Don’t Fear the Reaper. Life in the Fast Lane. Thunderstruck.
Radio : NPR. ( Love me some local news, & marketplace is the bomb.com) Spotify : almost anything. Recently it’s been Sleep Token, Coheed & Cambria, Kamasi Washington, synthwave boy, Sithu Aye, oddisee, the Offline
Depends. Daily commute is discovery, just grinding through unheard stuff and adding stuff I like to playlists.
Long trips are mostly prog rock, long track times and constant variety help keep me awake and stimulated.
Usually local town radio (short commute).
Longer drives I usually take some post rock like God is an astronaut, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Hammock, etc. Second choice would be something prog/psychedelic/stoner rock like, bands like King Buffalo, 1000mods, Naxatras, OM, Kyuss, etc.
I listen to the radio defaulting to npr and if nothing interesting is on I jump through the major song stations and if all else fails I have some tull. Once in awhile if I want to know traffic or weather I will switch to the news station.
Psytrance. It makes the car go faster.
Anything without lyrics. I can’t stand the sound of people’s voices. So this is usually some sort of EDM, Dubstep, Phonk, Experimental, NCS (No Copyright Sounds), etc
Unsolicited suggestion from my driving playlist: Icy Lust - Downtown Maglev
I always enjoyed driving to that one with good audio. The way it builds up slowly is great for being on the road.
EDM, game music from my favorite games soundtracks, or my favorite thrash or progressive metal.
Recently I’ve also been listening to a lot of traditional folk music from the middle east.
Anything sounds great with a good enough car speaker system I guess.
The loudest fastest music on my playlist
Speed metal it is…
Jazz, especially in the evening. Some of Bill Evans more sparse stuff, Dave Bruebeck quartet. I like the back and forth of ensemble playing too, musical conversations. Like you know what they’re saying? It’s a feeling, not a forgone conclusion. You dig?
I’ve been listening to Ghost’s new album Skeleta.
Walk the Moon.
Just love all their music. Puts me in a good mood
Depends on my mood. I have a few playlists for that. Or, I use Spotify’s blend feature if I want to see what my friends are listening to.
Mostly what I usually listen to, but recently I’ve been enjoying listening to these chill dance mixes. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKz7MQ6y9w-K456AwrcUa_geIewSGOqF-
