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.
Psytrance. It makes the car go faster.
I just have all my music on a drive on my stereo on shuffle. I just keep going until something sounds good and then go with that vibe.
I had an idea where if a cop tries to pull you over, you pick a number between 1 and 5 and if you get a good chase music song within those skips you have to attempt a getaway. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, but it’s a funny idea. I could see it in a movie or game or show, though.
I like your idea
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.
Usually 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.
Nice, I’m familiar with post rock but not so much with your second line on artists. I’ll look into
Let me know how you like those. I’d say King Buffalo and their Regenerator might be a good entry point. Or new Naxatras’ album “V”.
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.
I listen to '60s Gold on SiriusXM!
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.
I must be a psycho because I’m the only person I know who likes to drive in silence.
Sometimes I put music. But lately I’ve been preferring just silence to drive. It’s been a tendency. Road noises makes me not hear music well or having to put it too loud, so the more that bothers me the more I’ve been just letting me drive without any background music/radio.
Nah I also like to drive in silence sometimes and hear everything around me. I guess the music is a new feature for me, I’ve changed my car a few months ago and the previous one didn’t have a functional sound system. And neither did the previous car.
I agree with you about the road noises and volume, which is why I say not all music sounds good in a car. I also turn it off if it gets too noisy, such as driving with wind roar.
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-
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?
Ohh jazz I should expand my jazz listening. I’ll look into those
I upgraded the audio in my car until I could listen to the music I like.
I use YouTube music and enjoy the New Releases playlist. Helps find new artists.
Euro beat. GAS GAS GAS, I GOTTA STEP ON THE GAS TONIGHT
Same Dave Rodgers bro
Walk the Moon.
Just love all their music. Puts me in a good mood
I have a couple of playlists, depending on the mood:
To pump myself up: Prog rock/metal
Relaxing drive: r&b, acid jazz, chill/lounge
If I’m on the way to/from a concert, I’m usually listening to the artist.
Night driving:
- Dark synthwave / retrowave / outrun / shredwave (sub genres)
Desert driving:
- Animals by Pink Floyd (album)
- The Budos Band (band)
I didn’t know outrun and shredwave were genres, I’ll check it out.
