As the title says. I’ve been listening to some synth, some alternative rock, some electronica. But I find a lot of the music I usually listen to doesn’t sound that great in my car. And I also find I’m more open to different music genres while driving.

I’m curious to know what you’re into, if you want to share artists then the more the better.

    Real answer: podcasts. Doughboys, Doughboys Double, Get Played, Get Played Season Pass (can you tell I like Nick Weiger?), Film Reroll, and Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell me

    Helpful answer: I like singing along to stuff so that ends up being a lot of 80s/90s pop and alt-rock stuff. CAKE, They Might be Giants, Garbage, Jamiroquai, Vengaboys, a bunch of one-hit wonders. Lately I’ve been on a bit of a trance kick so The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, and Daft Punk are in there too

      I love all those in your trance kick list, good choices. I definitely need to grow my 80s 90s mixed list

    I just have all my music on a drive on my stereo on shuffle. I just keep going until something sounds good and then go with that vibe.

    I had an idea where if a cop tries to pull you over, you pick a number between 1 and 5 and if you get a good chase music song within those skips you have to attempt a getaway. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, but it’s a funny idea. I could see it in a movie or game or show, though.

      Same, I just go full random on my entire itunes library on my iphone through carplay.

      It is a good mix of classic rock, punk, 80s/90s/00s pop, classical music, bitpop, and trance.

    I listen to the radio defaulting to npr and if nothing interesting is on I jump through the major song stations and if all else fails I have some tull. Once in awhile if I want to know traffic or weather I will switch to the news station.

    If it’s a road trip and after 2am, I put on Tom Waits’ ‘Nighthawks at the Diner’, otherwise it’s random, preferably Post-punk or Adult Alternative.

    Jazz, especially in the evening. Some of Bill Evans more sparse stuff, Dave Bruebeck quartet. I like the back and forth of ensemble playing too, musical conversations. Like you know what they’re saying? It’s a feeling, not a forgone conclusion. You dig?

    I have a couple of playlists, depending on the mood:

    To pump myself up: Prog rock/metal

    Relaxing drive: r&b, acid jazz, chill/lounge

    If I’m on the way to/from a concert, I’m usually listening to the artist.

    I usually listen to all the stuff I listen to normally, with the single exception of speedcore/Splittercore/Extratone, since it sounds kinda ass in a car.

    So what I’m listening to while driving is: Hardtekk, German, German Rap Hardtechno, (German political) Rap, Metal or Terrorcore

    I upgraded the audio in my car until I could listen to the music I like.

    I use YouTube music and enjoy the New Releases playlist. Helps find new artists.
