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.
If it’s a road trip and after 2am, I put on Tom Waits’ ‘Nighthawks at the Diner’, otherwise it’s random, preferably Post-punk or Adult Alternative.
Road trips - Audio books and podcasts
Around town - Metal, old school country, some DnB if I’m in the mood, '90’s/2000’s alt and hip hop
DnB yes that sounds like something I should add to my list
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.
The loudest fastest music on my playlist
Speed metal it is…
Walk the Moon.
Just love all their music. Puts me in a good mood
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
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.
I am very picky about voices in song for most of my music preferences, so I get where you’re coming from. I’m usually listening to electronica or instrumental whatever. However I find driving makes me tolerate singing better, so I’m adding more tracks with lyrics. I didn’t even know No Copyright Sounds was a music category
Real answer: podcasts. Doughboys, Doughboys Double, Get Played, Get Played Season Pass (can you tell I like Nick Weiger?), Film Reroll, and Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell me
Helpful answer: I like singing along to stuff so that ends up being a lot of 80s/90s pop and alt-rock stuff. CAKE, They Might be Giants, Garbage, Jamiroquai, Vengaboys, a bunch of one-hit wonders. Lately I’ve been on a bit of a trance kick so The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, and Daft Punk are in there too
I love all those in your trance kick list, good choices. I definitely need to grow my 80s 90s mixed list
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.
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
Starjunk 95, thank me later
I listen to engine sound
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.
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.
Nothing.
