For day to day driving I tend to keep a wallet full of music mag covermount CDs. Uncut do some cracking compliations; which usually results in me spending in Amazon. Current issue has a cd related to artists who have been influenced by "Creedence Clearwater Revival"....pretty good for driving along to.

What takes your fancy or is it just the radio?
 
I run most things off my iPad, so I have a shed load on there (as well as using the Tom Tom sat nav).
Last major downloads, the About a Boy OST and the this summer a shed load of Kid Cudi after seeing him at Rock En Seine festival over teh August BH weekend in Paris.

I went to work this morning to Fun Loving Criminals and Scooby Snacks.
 
Big fan of "proper" Dubstep so Skream, Burial and various compilations.

Also love chilled out stuff like Urban Myth Club, Bonobo, etc.

When the kids are in the car - often some awful kids CD or Finding Nemo on DVD. Very impressed with the sound the Kenwood system blasts out and I love the way it mutes the front speakers when the satnav lady speaks - with the right timing it sounds like some sort of dance mix!!
 
I use my I-pod connected to the stereo. One of my regular playlists is made up of all songs with "California" in the title. I have about 20 mostly good ones.

Great news !!
Have managed to get `my music` off my Sony Walkman and through some wizardry have had it transferred to an `i` thingy. A 5 year old kid told me that if I shuffled it might be nicer for me - I`ve beeen shuffling for a while and it ain`t nice at all. Think she meant change the order of play - anyway I`ve done it and look what I got out.

Bill Haley
Dinah Shore
Nat King Cole
Mel Torme
The Mills Brothers
Johny Ray
Eartha Kitt
The Chordettes
Teresa Brewer
Pat Boone
Ella Fitzgerald

Boy oh boy, am I going to be in driving heaven or what? Eat your hearts out music munchers.
 
Brother10, I think your "shuffling" has taken you back in time :lol:

Sure is an easy listening list, enjoy

I'm more of a seventies man - Free, Family, Cream, Hendrix, Moody Blues etc.

Like to be upto date as well. Bought the DVD of Adele's Albert Hall concert which came with a CD of the concert minus the talk. - great value from amazon, one to watch on the tele and one to listen in the van.

My husband has just downloaded 'the call of the muezzin'.

Wants to ensure our 'personal space' is respected.

Think it will do the trick?

My dad likes the more reggae/dub end of Dubstep a lot too - he's 60 :lol: And he drives a lowered, BBS alloyed T25 camper loaded with Alpine ICE. Growing old disgracefully... :lol:
 
I will kill any shred of credibility by saying...

...I quite like Muse...
 
Ha! Another convertee :grin:
My work is done here.....
Going to see them again at the o2 next weekend - 7th time I've seen them and counting.
What an amazing live band.

Meh....too much screaming drama for me... that Matthew Bellamy with his whining vibrato. Excellent musician...too skilled for his own good. I like it when it stops. Far too much passionate virtuosity and over-accomplished shouty business for my liking. What would the neighbours think?

:smile
 
Tongue firmly in cheek there....if I went to the O2 I'd probably need resuscitation from all the excitement...
