Bamboo Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Been thinking about this for a while. We love music in the car, it makes you drive fast, or makes the drive bliss. Some prefer the exhaust note, like the guy who gave me phooey. 2 inch loud exhaust and am radio! Now for my cars In the hardtop, tape deck with the 1980 tape, the Angels, Dark Room. It's also got a radio transmitter so I can listen to usbs, sd's etc. In the Valiant, CD, Iggy and the Stooges, 1969.... In the 'Cruiser, Franz Ferdinand, song Jacqueline, because as the song says, it's always better on holidays, so much better on holidays What's your thing? Bamboo Quote

Evan G Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 anything vocal trance gets the adrenaline pumping and foot heavier Quote
Bamboo Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Posted April 10, 2010 None of my cars have a working radio. LMAO. I used to put a portable CD player in Val on the back seat. Then I mounted some under seat speakers and the CD under the dash. Picked up the old am radio in the dash for 5 bucks because the wrecker classed it as an am radio. He didn't really look and note it's ancient with all the old stations written on it. Out of a VF! Quote

Hiro Protagonist Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Is this thread about what music you listen to when driving, or what songs/genre you think best suits the style of your car? Either way, here's my response. Generally listening to one of the following: Faith No More Opeth Dream Theater Prodigy Crystal Method Chemical Brothers Metallics sonicanimation General 80s and hard-rock/metal compilations Old-skool hip-hop like De La Soul and Afrika Bambaata Old-skool rock like AC/DC, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, The Who etc As for what suits the car best, I'd say Faith No More's Album Of The Year. Released in 1997 (so the same year as the car was made), it was the last album from one of the most popular and prominent bands of the 80s and 90s (just as the AE102 was the last locally made Corolla which dominated the small-car market in the 80s and 90s), it's under-rated compared to the hey-day of The Real Thing and Angel Dust (the AE82 and AE92 respectively) but is surprisingly solid, well produced, and capable of blowing you away as long as you look past some of the stigma and accept it for what it is. It also happens to be one of my favourite albums of all time, just as the AE10x is one of my favourite Corolla series of all time. Quote

Gspec Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 As some have said it depends on the mood. I find listening to banging tracks with some serious energy results in speeding, and listening to aggressive music results in aggressive driving and behaver. So I tend towards more chilled songs... usually something with good lyirics in my vocal range so I can "sing" along... thank God for Dynamat :( Quote
Kid-Ae Posted April 10, 2010 Report Posted April 10, 2010 Ah, you're a funny man :bash: I'm enjoying listening to the 'We Are Young Money' album, not bad to chill to behind the wheel, be even better when i get my license next month :yes: Quote
