What's the prefered music of the SC cruizer?

[puff c]

I like all of the below.

[Mike Manzo]

I have a compliation album that I burned that I play to tune my stereo in my 94sc.

I must say that, for me, I choose Metal for racing purposes. Techno stuff works too, but the adrenaline seems to pump better for me with metal.

My favorite racing song is "AM I EVIL" by Metallica. I am not a big Metallica fan, in fact my first taste of music when I was 4 years old was my sister's Black Sabbath tapes and that turned me into a eternal OZZY (not Ozzie like Ozzie and Harriet) fan.

Am I Evil says it all and has that great start up to it after the repetative drum crap in the beginning. Kinda like the beginning of "Straglehold" by Nugent, but meaner and "recognized" as a true bad-~~~ riff.

On the other hand, Techno has it's place when racing the Imports. When I race an Integra or Eclipse, I tend to flip to CD #5 which consists of the Chemical Brothers and some other stuff that I liberated from Napster. That makes for some real high-speed handling soundtracks.

Country is probably the best for long drives through the midwest. Kinda sets the scene...

I guess I kinda think of my driving as being is the game "Need For Speed". There is a perfect song for every environment and just as NFS has a song for each track, each one of the Chicago expressways, for me, has it's own music...

Thank God for the Creative Nomad Jukebox...6 Gigabytes of MP3s...Never have to burn a CD and can plug right into the CD changer on Aux throught the Kenwood....to bad gas costs too much....

[puff c]

(Ozzie) I can't believe I spelled it that way. I was wearing one of my Ozzy shirts when I typed this poll. to bad I can't go back and edit it. Oh well you know the man I'm talking about.

[fred 4 pt 3]

pretty lean categories. so i didn't vote. jazz, blues swing and older rock (before the big hair)

[SC Ward]

Classic Rock
&
Blues

Honorable Mention: JoDee Messina, "Silver Thunderbird"

[scrunner]

Tiesto, Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten

Makes my feel like the car is an extenstion of my mind and body, I tihnk & it she does it..

I love it, all of it

[Rick Hubbs]

I'd have to go with either Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, or Phish. However, something more upbeat when I'm beating the tailpipes off a rustang!

[Mike Puckett]

I like light contemporary jazz and light contemporary rock. I hate hip hop, rap, and country western. Some of that stuff isn't fit to be called music.

[Fastphil]

anything with a good beat. That means mainly dance/rap, but there's also Metallica and AC/DC waiting in the lineup. Trouble is, i got sick of listening to the radio at work, so i always listen to the same tapes (CD changer coming soon) and i've gotten sick of those too! The SC sounds really good just below zero boost, got a high pitched whistle...

[Jason Parham]

How about George Clinton's classic "Flashlight".;)
Jason "Mr Funkadelic" Parham

[pdennis]

5. Newer stuff (Creed, barenaked ladies, matchbox20, eve 6 etc...)
4. Take it Easy (not a car song but a good cruizing sonh)
3. I cant drive 55
2. the little old lady from pasadena (rumor has it shes got an SC, no joke, some ford dealer here in nw indiana told me that some older (60's to 70's) lady had a white SC and drove the p!ss out of it :-) )
1. FUN FUN FUN.......need i explain any more?????

[eagle7501]

i like the 70s rock and anything ubeat/funky. g.love, kenny kravitz, soul coughing. everyone needs good cruising tunes!

[Micahdogg]

Nuff said.....I can dig the rap/rock stuff like POD, Onyx/Biohazard...or the entire Judgement Night c.d. for that matter. Then again, Korn is always good...Seven Dust rocks...and lets not forget about the Office Space soundtrack for those days when you can really relate to Willie D, Bushwick, and the rest of the Ghetto Boy crew :cool:

Micah

P.S. And Sinatra can't be left out.

[Mike D90]

I ain't wit being broke, so this d---'s for you!

[JimmyChay]

When cruising around town, it is always cool to turn Lowrider all the way up w/ the windows down, my car may not be a lowrider, but that song rules for cruisin in any large nice car. Other music i like would be electronica (orbital, propellerheads...), 80's metal (Metallica--Seek and Destroy-best racing song ever), Alternative/industrial (Filter mostly), SOME rap (Black Eyed Peas), Classical Guitar music such as that of Andres Segovia or John Williams is also one of my favorites when i am by myself and dont feel like listening to something modern (All my friends hate ALL classical).

[Rob Noth]

Hmm, Tbird music? How about "Thunderbird" (ZZ Top), or Tito Puente also has a song of the same name. Or "Makin' Thunderbirds" (Bob Seger), "Pink Thunderbird" (Jeff Beck). Here's one I saw on cdnow.com, this song MUST have been written about an SC... "T-Bird Blues (How in the World Did I Ever Get You?)" by Mike Cross. :)

[onequiksc]

a hap ,hap ,happy tune!

[Micahdogg]

"Beat it" at full volume baby.

Micah

[Wade Young]

I'd havta go with jus about anything from the Parliment Funkadelic. Then of course u got the Ghetto Boys, Dubee, Too $hort, and The Chronic for the rap fix, throw in some AC/DC to mix it up a little and I'll be good to go.

[Vic Rattlehead]

Well, HEAVY METAL ALL THE WAY. MEGADETH, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Sevendust, Ozzy, Ted, Poison, and MEGADETH.

Let me introduce myself
I'm a social disease
I come for your wealth
Leave you on your knees
No time for for feeling sorry
I got here on my own
I won't ask for mercy
I choose to walk alone

What's yours is mine
What's mine is mine, too
If you shake my hand
Better count your fingers

--Dread and the Fugitive Mind
--Dave Mustaine

[JT]

I thought only Ricers played cRAP in their vehicles!!!!!

[cary Jackson]

I'm 45. Gimme stones, doors, steely dan,nugent,sabbath, floyd,doobies, sly, you get the picture.

[SCandelous95]

i like to roll around the old barn listening to john denvers "country roads" then when im feelin a little restless i crank it up to 7! and put on loverboy and jam up "everybody's working for the weekend" the girls love it and my sleeveless denim jacket blows in the breeze and i hang my long luxurise (!?) mullet out the window.

[CECGuy]

DEFTONES ARE THE BEST!!!!

[KwikSC]

Nothing like a seriously hard techno beat to get one to drive 140mph on the LIE... My latest favorite is Emma Shapplin - Spente Le Stelle.. techno and Opera combined.. How can u go wrong? ;)

Dennis

[Rick Mink]

bird bird bird
bird is the word
dont you know
about the bird
everybody knows
that the bird is the WORD
Bird Bird Bird is the word

I love playing that so loud that you almost bleed from the ears when racing. Good for cruzin too. Other than that, everclear, everlast, sublime, kid rock, THe offspring, presdidents of the united states of america, Floyd, doors, dead, metallica. You name it, I'll race to it. Hell I'll even race to country, though it only to find a telephone pole to crash into to get that @#%$ off my radio.

Rick

[pdennis]

n/m

[Blackbird90]

first off I LOVE PANTERA>>>
Old metallica is good tunes too.
Micah i agree sevendust is the s#it
but also i'm cool with some hip hop
dmx and mobb deep. but when i know i'm gonna race
i try to have on black sunshine by white zombie
in the beginning he mentions a black mustang but i know he meant to say super coupe!!!!!

[Tbird Tim]

You can figure Nellie, Outkast, JZ, Green Day, SR71, Creed, Deftones, J.Lo, Dream, and lots of Hip Hop. Myself I can listen to it, but I prefer 38 Special, Pat Benetar and early 80's groups. That's not to say the once in a while you wont hear Sade, or Hiroshima and other New age Jazz...

[tealsc]

Every jay-z song has good bass for the stock stereo..nelly's bass beats are original but annoying to my speakers atleast..but I plan to get a whole new pioneer deck and speakers when I put my subs in this spring

[rich gibbs]

to me only one sez it all****zz top's UNDER PRESSURE!zz top has great cruise music.i can't let my wife drive when steve earl's COPPERHEAD ROAD is on she makes the bird fly!

[SilverBird]

Metallica: Fuel

Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Oh

Yeah
Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red

I run across through black and white
War horse
War head
F*** 'em, man
White knuckle tight
Through black and white

Oh
On I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard
Loose and clean

Sunna: Power Struggle

I will defeat what I'm heading for,
And I will be here forever more,
I am the weight of your empty shell,
I want more than I am.

Cuz I was made to fly,
Cuz I was made to fly,
And you were made to die,
But I was made to fly.

ACDC: Thunderstuck

Sound of the drums
Beatin' in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been - thunderstruck

Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Whoa baby, baby, thunderstruck
You've been thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck
You've been thunderstruck

[puff c]

How about Cars by fear factory.

[Excaliber 8]

I have an in-dash mini-disk player, so i perfer to mix together a balance of music types. I open with a non-vocal song (Boost me off of Gone is 60 Seconds, Mission Impossible, 2001 Space Oddesy, Top Gun Theme, ect) to get in the driving mood, the move into something with a bit more of an edge (Ozzy's Crazy Train, Magic Carpet Ride, American Women, ect). I like to continue in the edge for a while then shift to something a little more laid back but still "rock." Slip in a little bit of techno for the occasional high-way speedo-test.

Each mix is about 74 mins (i am working on some 80 min mixes now that there are new disks out). I have two types of mixes, "Driving Mixes" for any occasion, and "Crusing Mix" for just that.

I am now working on a new system for the SC, however it is a pain in the @$$ trying to find the stuff i want. There is such a small Mini-Disk market no one carries the stuff i need/want. Oh well. Factory direct here i come.

[Crowded Elevator]

I prefer to listen to schtuff that makes the SC fill with ambient noises. Stuff like Radiohead's new stuff. Amnesiac is amazing. I also love Weezer, gotta get some happiness in somewhere. I like electronic stuff, like portishead, bjork, Sneaker pimps. And sometimes Deftones can be brought back into my life, of course only pre-White Pony Schtuff.

[ThunderingSC]

I can't believe someone hasn't mentioned KORN yet!:eek:

[DJPhlex]

no, ricers play techno not rap.

i am from texas, and i have an ear for a little bit of country, but country has no place whatsoever in an SC.
Over the years i have lost the ear for rock completely. I like classic rock, but again, not to be played in the SC.

i if its at night and i'm cruising i will play Ben Harper, Ben Lee, Elliot Smith, just chill stuff like that.

if its during the day and i'm cruising, i hit up G Love and Special Sauce, B-Boys, tribe, or underground hiphop

If i'm rolling like i'm gunna do a drive by (Day or Night), i gotta bump that hard underground rap or Dirty Dirty South Rap, like South Park Mexican, and other stuff out of Dallas or Houstan

If i'm looking for a race, i'm probally gunna bump more upbeat mainstream hard Rap, like Cash Money, No Limit, Outkast, Dallas or Houstan ish.

Techno has a place in the SC, but to be used sparingly.

(Keep in mind, i'm 20).

- Pierre

[nightcoupe2]

....I can't change.... ... nothing like Freebird on the backroads at night.

[SCmike]

"NUMBER OF THE BEAST" or pretty much anything iron maiden will pump me up when driving.

[Doug Franklin]

Hendrix
Cream
Journey
U2
Pearl Jam
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Not necissarily in this order.
When traveling between cities.

[brandonhgt]

Most anything loud EXCEPT country.

[Evil Inside]

AC/DC - Thunderstruck...HELLO?????
AC/DC - For Those About To Rock
AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie (Think about the car)
AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, it scares the hell out of drivers next to you
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Queen - Another One Bites The Dust
Fuel - Won't Back Down
Ozzy Osbourne - Flying High Again
Trevor Rabin - Anything from Gone in 60 Seconds
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back My Bullets
ANYTHING BY MOTLEY CRUE!!!!
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground
Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild

I think playing hard rock scares ricers. No one in a riced out civic is blasting anything but rap crap.

[Grims95SC]

For crusin:
Foghat - Slow Ride
War - Lowrider
The Doors - Roadhouse Blues
Stuck in traffic:
Bad Habit - The Offspring
Shoots and Ladders - KoRn


Ok what do you guys listen to going home on a friday after work? Any different/stress releaving music?

[LightY3arZ]

For highway/fast driveing:

Opeth
AFI
Soilwork
CKY
and other Hardcore toughguy rock

for cruising to the beach
roots rock raggae like:
Steel Pulse
Morgan heritage
marley
or reggae inspired rock like:
Pepper
sublime
slightly stoopid

[Darkside]

Hey Derek, I just turned myself on to Soilwork within the last couple of months. I was on Kazaa one night and I did a audio search under the metal category and started downloading songs from every band that came up that I hadn't heard of. I downloaded Children of Bodom(heard them?), In Flames, some other bands I can't think of right now, and Soilwork. I downloaded about 21 songs from them and have been listening to them about 98% of the time I drive. I love their style. Are they a new band? I had never heard of them before. They kind of remind me of Kreator a little bit, but better musically. Soilwork is high on my list of all time favorites now. BTW, I'm sure you have heard Children of Bodom, if not, check them out. :cool:

[LightY3arZ]

Yah man Soilwork is by far one of my all time faves! I believe they have been around for awhile, and are pretty big internationally. In Flames older stuff was pretty cool, though I cant seem to really get into their more recent stuff. Children of Bodom = pure f****** shredding. If you havent yet, DL they're song "needled 24/7" good stuff! :)

[turboken]

I like to bump it. Rap mostly, but for 'chillin on backroads :cool: ', pink floyd does it..

[thebigslide]

CCR, Bob Marley or whatever's on a random radio station.

[graywolf]

My favorite place --a muuntain pass or canyon.
The best music for that----Cheryl Crow or ZZ top

[darriantbird]

METALLICA!!!!







Nuff said!! :D

Metallica-ANY

[jonimag56]

I'm an old timer. I love Jimi Hendrix live and loud. Unfortuneately my subwoofers have not.

[95pearlbird]

Here are some of my Favorites:
ZZ Top- All of Mescalero, Greatest Hits(Pearl Necklace!),World of Swirl, and others. Locomot-ed...like a Paxton Twist...by the roadside, in a ditch..

Pretenders-First Album-Isn't Mystery Achievement kinda about getting your SC to run right?

Joe Satriani-Surfing with the Alien- Driving, Flying or Riding, this album makes you mash it down!

Jimi Hendrix-First Rays of The New Rising Sun-EZ Ryder-Yeah!-
-Ridin' down the Highway of Desire!

Judas Priest-Best of-Livin' After Midnight-(Live)Headin'Out To The Highway,Breakin' The Law, Freewheel Burning,Turbo Lover, pretty soon you're doin' 100...

Deep Purple-Hiway Star, Strange Kind Of Woman-(If they ever come around again, you gotta see this Band LIVE-They will blow you away!)

Gary Hoey-Wake Up Call- A great album not many know about. There is a version of "Lowrider" on here that is great!

Eric Burdon and the New Animals-Live From Seattle- Another Rare One, this is Raw Live Rock at its Finest! Check It Out!

Also:
Foghat-Maybelline, Slow Ride,others-
Led Zeppelin
Sammy Hagar
Van Halen
The Who-Live at Leeds-LOUD!
Stevie Ray Vaughn

And A Lot More, but these are a few of my favorites. As you can tell, mostly Classic Rock, but when I'm driving my SC, I like hard crunchin' jams that scream about the wonders, virtues and benefits of hot cars and hot women.
Once the needle swings past 85, theres a wider grin on my face AND hers!
Especially when she decides to stick out the sunroof at night topless on a Full Moon...OOooowww!! Another reason why I would never live in the city!

[jonimag56]

Cheap Sunglasses :cool: , I'm Bad I'm Nationwide (think that's title. it's been awhile
since I heard this stuff), Waiting for the Bus/Jesus Just left Chicago and of course La Grange. All great cruisin tunes. Billy Gibbons never got enough credit as a great, fun guitarist. The stuff prior to the El Loco album has a twelve foot pole and bigger balls too. :D

[DarkSoldier]

Lamb of God
DevilDriver
Chimaira
System of a Down
Heaven Shall Burn
Slipknot

[metalman]

Dream Theater
Rush
Steve Vai
Spocks Beard

Violent Work of Art
American HeadCharge
Dry Kill Logic

[The_Ghost]

my preferred music is...

the whine of the eaton s/c at WOT.

After that it's pretty much anything that's on my ipod, as my musical tastes are pretty eclectic.
50's, 60's, 70's, 80's...
I like a lot of 70's rock and then mix that with current music such as early-album dashboard confessional, some early blink 182, jimmy eat world, old-school weezer, and then drag some occasional country into the mix, blend in some experimental electronica with a few jam bands, j-pop/j-r&b, some mainstream techno and then you're close to replicating my playlist.

I used to blast louder stuff when really going, but lately I've taken to just chilling and cruising around comfortably.
Or at least, that was the case until my cd player refused to turn on today!:mad:

-Ghost

[CougarXR/7]

Rammstein - Ozzy - Alice Cooper - System of a Down, for starters.

[89_WhiteBirdy]

For me it is most definetly rock, any rock... I got a 10 cd changer in the trunk full of a variety rock.:D

[Want2LearnTBIRD]

why u bring up 7 years old thread?!?!?!?!?!?! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

[sinhumane]

TECHNO!!!!! lots and LOTS of hard, fast techno... while sitting at 90-100 on the highway.. now THATS cruizin... :)

[T.S.Racing]

For me it's about the rap. It's about all you'll hear coming out of my T-bird. For street racing you can't beat Project Pat and/or Three 6 Mafia, for all around crusing Young Buck and G-unit are good, Lil Scrappy, Bohagon, E-40, Young Dro, Crime Mob, Lil Flip, Twista, Do or Die, etc.
