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.

    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

        Honorable Mention (not as hard driving and relentless, but just as iconic and classic):

        • Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd
        • Gimme Three Steps – Lynyrd Skynyrd
        • Sharp Dressed Man – ZZ Top
        • Stranglehold – Ted Nugent
        • Godzilla – Blue Öyster Cult

        • Money for Nothing – Dire Straits
        • Aqualung – Jethro Tull
        • Life’s Been Good – Joe Walsh

        Those are all great jams to drive to, just watch your foot on the pedal because it’ll get heavy (especially during Radar Love.)

        Ted Nugent has some fucking awful politics, but Cat Scratch Fever has to be on the top tier list even if you exclude it for that reason.

    I usually listen to all the stuff I listen to normally, with the single exception of speedcore/Splittercore/Extratone, since it sounds kinda ass in a car.

    So what I’m listening to while driving is: Hardtekk, German, German Rap Hardtechno, (German political) Rap, Metal or Terrorcore

    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.

    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?

    The bulk of my driving is short trips with many stops, so I generally don’t even bother putting on any music. For longer (routine) drives, I like to throw on audiobooks.

    Haven’t been on a road trip (longer, non-routine, pleasure drive) in forever, but those usually get their own playlist (formerly series of CDs) that depend on the nature of the trip/destination.

    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.
