It really depends on my mood and what I'm doing. Techno (progressive house, Digweed or Sasha mixes are always great), classic rock (Zepplin, Rolling Stones, Beatles, etc.), Punk (Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Dickies, Blink-182), Songs from Hindi movies, classical (whatever is on the local classical station), bluegrass.

I generally prefer punk or techno for spirited driving, and a bit of whatever for cruising around. I have a mix of about 10 hours of my favorite songs on my phone that I stream for daily commuting - basically anything that plays is something I like that way.
:happydance:

with music off and on...love my custom black edition screen saver i made in PowerPoint.

Lil Wayne? hummmmmm



Come on now, no one in their right mind listen to that crap back in the day muchless in this day and age.

I hope you didn't think I was being serious.:wtf2:

I don't know, but it seems like the Village People made a lot of people happy. We could derogate it for being pop or commercial, but satisfying simple pleasure seems to be an important reason for music to exist. Not the only reason, but one of them.

I LOVE old school funk, which ain't far off from disco. I also have liked Daft Punk for a while now and they have exploded with what are essentially disco tunes.

Now, I like Miles Davis, The Clash, The Velvet Underground, etc., so I'll put that out there to prove that I also listen to "good music" and not that garbage that lots of regular people enjoy.

Made a CD/playlist (swapped out the head unit early on) when I first got the Z called "First Drive" for just this sort of thing. That particular playlist has artists ranging from Joe Bonamassa, Blues Traveler, Black Crowes, over to Phil Collins, REM, Lorde.
Other artists I favor in the car are Anders Osborne, Krewella, ZZ Top, Clapton, Billy Joel... My iTunes collection is almost too big. Hard to settle on something to listen to.

Roger shah radio broadcasts. I have them on loop that lasts for weeks. Love my trance.

Lil Boosie, Lep Bogus Boyz, Meek Mill, Rick Ross, Drake among others

i can't see how anyone can listen to rick ross... sounds like he is having trouble taking a sh*t every time he raps.

I think the best like driving fast music is easily rage against the machines

But if I'm casually cruising with the windows down, I like to listen to linkin park, or 90 alternative, sometime alittle bit of rap

anything but country, (c)rap, top 40 puke.

How about Zydeco?

that's more beer drinkin, mudbug eating music right there. not really good for driving.

I don't consider rap music. But that's just me.

i can listen to rap sometimes, especially in traffic... put that ludacris song on, move bi*ch get out the way lol

Sounds like my grandmother's take on rock and roll. Y'all should talk hemeroids and denture cream sometime : )

Like many here, I'm pretty eclectic, focusing on old school heavy metal (no scream), hard rock, rock and blues (in the vein of Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Johnny Winter, etc.). If I had to pick one band to cruise to, it would undoubtedly be AC/DC!

I shouldn't because I get road rage every time.

I just see it as simple 'music' for simple minds. Not much talent goes into the song writing. "Honey, where's my viagra?"

why does it have to be viagra now... some of us still dont need it :P lol

Thats partly a dichotomy between what becomes popular, played often, and heard sort of passively - you could get that sense I'd grant you. Popular music within a given genre is often like that; rap listened to across its spectrum is very different and not categorically simple.

I like to hear 80s music.
Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, A-ha...
I know, I know, trust me, Im straight.

^^ never heard of those groups 0.o

I like things that have a constant wall of sound... Deftones and Chevelle are good for that. March of the Pigs by NIN always gets me speeding too.

Rap is not music. Childish, pretentious rhyming with sampling and drum machines and your posse grunting ebonics in the background is not music.

There is no lack of understanding involved. Quite the contrary. I am like the little kid in the fable The Emperor's New Clothes. Being pure of mind and spirit, I see that rap is not the gilded robes but is a figment of mass hypnosis of those who were afraid to criticize it for it's lack of recognizable talent

Dig deeper. Similar sorts of things said about the Blues.

idk why, but i just wanted to put that there lol

Dunno if I'd go that far, I'm sure it takes some talent to rhyme that fast. That still doesn't change the fact that I think it sucks though, no different than the crappy pop stars who don't play instruments. But to each his own.

I think that's a fair statement. Thinking something sucks is an expression of a subjective assessment. Saying something "isn't music" assumes one can be the arbiter of truth on what is a largely subjective matter.

And you are absolutely right "to each his own."

I have a nice drive in WV coming up and this thread reminded me I have to put together music for the drive. I don't want to be hunting for Hanson or the Bieb on my winding drive.

i've been listening to the same cd for about a week now, almost at the point where i'm tired of it lol

anyone know where you can download mixes of youtube "legally" ... i found a site but only lets you go 20 min max :(

Rap doesn't bother me too much, but I do have a couple of rules regarding it; The artist has to rhyme, and rhyme well. Half-assed rhyming is just talking to a beat, which any moron can do. They also have to flow with the music. If they can't do that, they why the hell are they even rapping in the first place.

Now for anyone here that may be more into Metal, might I recommend some Sabaton?

I can't stand rap with too many 4-letter words, n-this, n-that, etc. I'm not a PC guy. But I think rap today is a little over the top with all the vulgarities. I used to like rap a lot, until high school. But when I hit my early 20s I kinda phased out of it. But I do like some rap/hip hop from time to time. Rap in top 40 music is aight, but most of it is garbage. But rap today is too commercialized versus the 90s and prior. Rap is the new rock. Back in the 80s everyone used to think rock was the bane of youth culture e.g. suicide themes, devil worshipping, etc. Now it's gangsta rap that people blame for kids acting violent with "gats in they waist."

"I'm pop pop pop any m'fcka that wanna throw up they 'hood....B's be jockin me, cuz I'm playa fo' life, papa chasin ain't no thang, cuz bills come in 100s....my whip is a Bentley...got mo' chedda than Forbes could count...n-this, n-that..."<--Yeah, this kinda rap is childish babble.

Ive I've downloaded a few hour+ mixes with it.

that's true rap isn't what it used to be, but there's a couple artists still good out there. it is funny that everyone thinks they're a rapper now and that they'll make it big... uhh no

This is old school but it puts me in the right mood while driving.

Booker T the 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time WCW champion lmao
