Driving songs that of which the younger generation is unaware

Shoulda mentioned it before.

For Petty, get Damn The Torpedoes and Hard Promises.

 

Best two albums to start out with.

Nothing Petty did really rocked after that.

 

 

 

Any AC/DC with Bon Scott, my two faves are Powerage and Highway to Hell but they're all good.

High Voltage and Dirty Deeds are winners too...

mississippi queen is DA BOMB. dang, i know alot of these songs.

tom petty's you wreck me was one of the songs i first learned (aww)

 

some of us from the nirvana generation were lucky enough to have had parents that were in to music.

my mom was always blasting, if not motown of the 60s and 70s, led zep, beatles, stones, you know...her generation.

I'll always be thankful to her for balancing abba out with queen, for shuffling allman brothers with earth wind and fire...

 

personal favorite road song: smashing pumpkins' 1979

 

had to pick one from my day ^^V

Fall of '79, a baby blue '66 Buick Special 4 door with a 310 Wildcat, the Automatic Radio 8 track blaring "Candy-O".

 

Summer of '80, a white and primer '67 Impala fastback with a too-loud 283, the same Automatic Radio 8 track blaring "Train Train".

 

And yes I drove both of them too fast as a result. I still have that cursed 8 track player here somewhere, the same one my brother bought new in '68.

"Train Train"

Blackfoot!

Ah yes, Slow Ride by Foghat was another one - the live version.

Molly Hatchet's Flirtin' With Disaster.

 

Anything with too many guitars and some cool slide work made all the long hair stand up on the back of my neck.

 

 

Candy-O was cool, because of the deep, clean, hard bass it was recorded with.

My car stereo would handle it, it made all my friend's stereos pop and fart embarrassingly.

It was one of my 'show-off' cassettes but not what I wanted to hear when drinking ice-cold beer at 100 mph in the dark of night.

Really. It's a slamming groove. I've always dug that song and even bought the record when it first came out.

 

Well this made me think of my latest thread, because I don't think I ever heard this song while driving, but heard it a million times at wedding receptions. Not saying it's a bad song, just never had my car stereo on a station that playeds it I guess =D>

WOW, thanks dude.

I didn't know these guys worked the synth.

I mean I've heard of them, but never heard a song of theirs 'till now.

Very, uhm....FLASH GORDON!

Steven Tyler always brings his best.

 

Here is my generation's Steven Tyler

 

Interesting comparison.

Mick and Steve both put on a good show, sexy skinny men jumping about in tight clothes, but Steve screams his arse off.

Mick is an institution, an ICON. Jagger is Legend.

MAN do I love the Stones....

 

Start Me Up is enough to get any one's foot tapping.

Not sure the name of the tune or the singers but here's some lyrics.

Oooo, I'm drvin' my life away, looking for a sunny day for me and you.

I had a car that when it got to the "Windshield wipers slappin' out a tempo Keepin' perfect rythm with the song on the radio-o...." part, my wipers were in perfect time.

 

"Eight Days on the Road and I'm a Gonna Make it Home Tonight" Got a bass line that demands highest volume.

 

"Hot Rod Lincoln" I can smell the hot exhaust manifold.
