The "ultimate driving music" thread

Okay guys,

Had a bit of a crazy idea on the way home tonight and if everybody plays by the rules. We could well generate one of the most epic collections of awesome driving tracks ever assembled in one place.

Heres the crack,

Add your top 3, and ONLY 3 favorite tracks to drive to. Then add a YouTube link next to your track for people to listen to.

Please do not post unless you have done it this way.

It keeps some continuity to the thread.

If we all do this we could create some serious music for everyone to enjoy in their car should they wish to download/buy the songs they like.

Heres mine

1) Kazzer - Fueled By Adrenaline
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbIUdHd1msU

2) The White Stripes - Blue Orchid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKntY8WkNYQ

3) Linkin Park- Given Up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xyxtzD54rM

Excellent idea Frayz.

Now as some know, I'm a dance nut, so no suprise for the content in my (current) top 3

(It may offer a diversity to the usual prog-rock which driving CD's are usually made from)

1. Eric Prydz - Pjanoo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4V86zaq0bo

2. Daft Punk - Alive 2007 (Harder, better, faster, stronger) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ItqVgaTIjI

3. Marco V - Automanual http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMJB1c8aPtA

There are loads more I could add up there due to the amazing amount of fresh material coming out every year from the dance music world, but currently those three would have me sideways on every roundabout in the little Pug

I too found it tough just to pick 3. But i thought 3 would keep everyones post short enough that we would gain a good selection without going over the top.

Great tracks guys, keep em coming

Thats the whole idea dude

Trying to keep my mind focused on the car at the moment. Its easy to keep wandering with all the waiting im having to do at the moment.

I made this thread, hopefully everyone will contribute and everyone should be able to enjoy it.

We have such a mixed community within the Subaru scene. We're bound to get some great music from all different directions.

C'mon guys, get involved

Oh and Phil, dont let the door hit you on the way out

Its the same for all of us Mark. Thats what makes it fun by keeping it to just 3.

I too struggled like mad to try and get it down to 3. I based on the 3 that really get me in the mood to actually "drive" the car as opposed to cruise to.
