I was musing today while working on the fun run route for this weekends celebration what music I would like to listen to during a 50 mile, hour and a half voyage to nowhere through beautiful surroundigs...



I could always go with Sting and Natalie Merchant, but thought I would poll this group as to their own sense of style and taste. This is, of course, purely subjective...

I listen to a lot of Soloist and groups they are involved in. This includes Victor Wooten, Jaco Pastorius, John Patitucci, Pat Metheny, Dave Weckl and much much more. If i'm feeling spirited, with my driving that is, i'll crank up Dave Matthews, Rush, Pearl Jam, led Zeppelin, Journey.... ect.. you see where that's going. It's all fun and games. Music makes driving 100X better.

Let me tell you what P friend of mine shared with me. He suggested when I bought my '92 coupe that I do a search on Limewire or some other shareware site for the "Best of 1991" and the "Best of 1992". Then burn a CD of the same tunes the Lucky Original Owner listened to as he broke in Your Car. Man, it's cool to listen to these songs as you drive your 968. The music has changed but the CAR remains the same!!

PORSCHE...THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE!!!

Enjoy!!! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

NOOO. I'm a bass player. I'm in a band with just a drummer. We actually just finished a show tonight, and it was killer. My musical spectrum spans across many genres. Record will be cut soon, I'll keep everybody posted here and rennlist about it.



www.myspace.com/projectcolor3 for those that are interested.



those recordings are about 3 years old, and they are from when we had a guitarist. Things are much better without the latter. A cd was finished a week prior to the hurricane, unfortunately, we lost it.



Music, definately oldies, is what gets my engine running <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Ok, work in 4 hours <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

got it - was definitely a rhythm heavy list, so i wasn't too far off - since you were awake though, i didn't think about you being a bass player



tour joke - how many bass players does it take to change a light bulb? don't know - go out to the bus and wake one up, and ask him



we actually left a bass player in chicago on one tour - he got off the bus, didn't tell anybody, and never got back on - took a taxi to detroit to make it for the gig - oof

I'm a bit out off touch with contemporary music. Finlandia, Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, Adagio from Romeo and Juliet, Beethoven's 9th, et al. I would love to have the music from the 350Z ad but can't seem to find it anywhere. Then again just listening to that B&B exhaust note is nice.

I never get tired of listening to the engine rev out to 7K in first and then second. Downshifting also is on my hit parade.

Music should be listened to in a club where live musicians do what they do best. There is no substitue for REAL music. My car is not where I enjoy tunes.

Years ago a friend and I conducted an extensive test to determine which song sounded best at high speed in his 440 RoadRunner. To be honest, the emphasis was probably on speed. We assumed it would be something by The Who, The Doors, Zeppelin, or the Stones. However, our unanimous choice - of the music actually available in 1983 - was Heart's "Barracuda." I'm sure my choice would be different today, but whenever I stumble across that song in the car I am reminded that it does sound great.

My favorite recording for car listening is a recorded book. I just finished "Potshot" by Robert B. Parker, as read by Joe Montegna. It was a hoot and I'm looking to spool up another in Parker's "Spenser" series.



I enjoy listening to music in the car but recorded books are mostly what I listen to. I had to get a stereo with a front-panel aux jack so that I could plug in a cassette player and MP3 player. Cassettes are still the best way to listen to recorded books.

good points from all



Nenehubert you're my kind of dude. I still have to post my pics of the upright in the 968 - fits great!



Personally, what I love is that certain albums when I listen to them, I'm hearing in my mind an additional track of my engine revving its nuts off - the PCH, me, the Porsche, and good music!



Although when I get down to serious driving I usually turn the music off and concentrate

I listen to classic rock and roll ala "KFOG" 104.5 FM. I am also a real fan of DOO WOP rock and roll.



The most care free time in my life was the late 50's early 60's. By the time I graduated from high school, Viet Nam and the prospect of military service, and collage all sort of took over. As I have gotten older, the music from that time, takes me back.



70's music, Viet Nam era brings back too many memories of friends lost, can't listen to it.



Try The Ventures, best instrumental rock and roll group, ever.

The motor is a symphony of sorts, and that is most enjoyable to hear.

I often shut the stereo down, just so I can hear what is going on down there.

Too many commercials on radio, except satellite.



After that, here are a few things that I have gotten into:



Rock/Pop

Rush, "Moving Pictures". Entire album hits hard, and Red Barchetta can really do the trick: "Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape, every nerve aware..."



Peter Gabriel, "So"



P.O.D., "Satellite"



(Real throwbacks to the 80's: Saga, Zebra, and what about Ratt?)



James Taylor, Allison Krauss, Gavin DeGaw, too many others to mention.



Jazz

Lee Morgan, "Best Of" (be-bop, jazz trumpet)



Miles Davis, "Kind of Blue" (you don't have to have the blues to like this one)



Classical

Beethoven 4, 5, 6, 9 (too many quiet sections can get problematic though)



Shostakovich 4, 5, 10. Great musical portrait of Joseph Stalin in #10.



Mahler 4, 5



Holst, Planets. Mars, The Bringer of War, is always good to get the blood flowing.



To be continued...

You said it Scott! Rush Moving Pictures or even Subdivisions. But don't forget 2112.

How about Rainbow?

My dad turned me on to Holst when I was a lil squirt.

I load up my MP3 player with everything from the 60's thru today.

Most well not agree but I have lots of old school punk and heavy metal.

Yea even some kraftwork. I sometimes surprise myself with the music I have collected over the years on bearshare. My girlfriend wonders how Teenage Goo Goo Muck from the Cramps can be followed by Easy Like a Sunday Morning from the Commodores. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/cool.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

But I have to say my favs are Zep and Floyd unless the angst of idiot drivers gets to me. Then its either <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> old jazz or <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/mad.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> punk rock.

Cheers!
