I have a very eclectic mix of tunes that I use in my videos and in my car. Here is a catchy tune, with a driving beat. 
@RINY
Radar love. Golden Earing. Sorry I’m old.

Jack Crosby posted:I do get an audiophille sound in my Speedster. I use Bose noise cancelling earphones and an Ipod and listen to music or audio books on long trips. The clarity is sensational and compares to the sound system in my S class Mercedes when I traveled in that. This is saying a lot about similar sound in a Speedster with a high revving Type Iv! To use earphones in cars in some states but in 12 years I have never been stopped because of this. Remember---they can't see into my Speedster anywhere as well as I can see out. I see absolutely no danger as sirens and big trucks never sneak up on me and I am as alert about traffic with or without the audio set up.
Something else---when I want a break from music or audio books, the earphones are wonderful to use just as sound reducers. Super quiet! I use the same set up traveling internationally on planes ----works the same way. Heading to Europe First class on Delta very soon and won't fail to carry this set up on the trip---Alice too.
I learned this from flying a Cessna Cutlass all over the country and that is even a lot noiser form of conveyance than a Speedster! Had I started this back in the early 80s I wouldn't have tinitus today!
I didn't know you could drive with head phones on. Illegal In California I thought.
In California it is illegal to drive with both ears covered, ie, with headphones on or ear buds in both ears.
It's also illegal to exceed the speed limit. ;-)
That's right, Troy. I never break any rules especially (gasp!) speeding. And our class won the bible!
If you won a Bible then you probably read "Let he who hath not sped cast the first stone."
"p.s. ... and for those of you that can hear the music (ha) this is a super cheesy question, but what's your favorite drive jam? I'm making playlists (cuz that's all I got right now) and will review all submissions!"
I recorded my exhaust note and play that when I'm driving.
It's by a group of six, called the 911flatsixers - a really retro sound. 
Jeanie and I listen to “play-away” books when we roadtrip.
I’ve got an ipod (there’s a blast from the past) full of music from the mid-60s through Weezer or so. I don’t listen to it all that much.

I have a ver y eclectic mix on my iPhone, probably somewhere over 1,000 songs of all different genres. I do have a 500 wat amp, JBL tweeters, mids, and a 10" JBL woofer installed so I can hear/feel it at any speed. I turn it down in town but I can still hear it.
In the Gallery by Dire Straits... Loud.
Jethro...you got it. One of the best albums ever. Mark Knopfler, perhaps the most under appreciated guitarists / vocalists of our time.
OMG...I just googled Knopfler, guess who's bday is tommorrow. I am out the door to buy a lottery ticket
Dire Straits is in my top 3 favorite bands.
I can name a dozen great songs that most people have never heard. I have a playlist that we listen to while boating at night. Starts with Brothers in Arms, then Follow me Home, then Ride Across the River.
I don't remember the order, but contains Wild West end, Private Investigations, Telegraph Road, Romeo and Juliet, Six Blade Knife, Once Upon a Time in the West and Where Do You Think You're Going to name a few
a little blues....
a little Todd...
a drinkin' song...
and a ballad (which I'll never hear in the Speedster)
The only reason why I always think about Radar Love as a driving song is because I almost rolled my 67 Mustang when it was playing. Think I was 17. When a song is playing as you are up on 2 wheels it leaves an impression.

Dude.
There’s 2 of us! My preferred Dire Straits driving song would be Telegraph Road, but really I’ll take anything from Love Over Gold or Brothers in Arms. The ipod playlist has both albums in their entirety.
Brothers in Arms would be in my top five albums of all time, hands down, and I think Mark Knopfler was/is probably one of the most underrated lead guitarists ever. So sparce. So amazingly lyrical.
Genius.
Telegraph Road is awesome! Great blend of guitar and piano!
He, like David Gilmour, uses the space between notes brilliantly.
Its funny... My top 3 favorites are all because of guitar style. My top 3 in no particular order:
Pink Floyd - David Gilmour.
Dire Straits - Mark Knopfler.
Neil Young, solo and with Crazy Horse
4th would be Moody Blues, but not because of guitar.
Everything else is a distant 5th for me.
Jethro posted:He, like David Gilmour, uses the space between notes brilliantly.
That's IT! It's what he doesn't play that makes him brilliant.
I think he was the first guitar player that really made me open my eyes to the fact that genius was more than the sum of its technical parts. He made achingly haunting music, rather than presenting a freight-train of noise (which, make no mistake, can be excellent in its own right).
I was (and really still am, deep down) a hick-town, headstrong punk with a lot of pent up angst and muscle, straining to stake my claim in a complex and nuanced world-- Eddie Van Halen was my spirit animal.
Dire Straights showed me that sometimes less can be a LOT more.

Mr. Knopfler will be 69 years old tomorrow.
Wow, I'm old.
Wow, I'm old. (We're old)
Yup. I'm sure that's what Rachel is thinking.
@550 Phil I had Born To Be Wild blaring from my stereo in my 81 Camaro as I was sliding sideways through someone's front yard only to be stopped by the guide wire to a power pole releasing the power line to land on my hood. The house in front of me went dark, I put it in reverse and headed to a near by friends house to use a hammer to get the fender off of my front tire. Impressions.

These things happen. Carry on and be brave!

My brother from another mother...
The songs "Brothers in Arms" and "Ride Across the Water" are hauntingly aching. Imagine listening to them while on a boat at night, traveling up a river... Freaking awesome!
Also, the song "Follow me Home" has the same cricuts that start and end "Ride Across the River"
I like some of Knopfler's solo stuff like "What It Is" and Speedway at Nazareth" from the "Sailing to Philadelphia album.
And of course it's no secret I'm a big Joe Bonamassa fan. My current favorite is a rockin' version of "Don't burn Down That Bridge" that he did back in '01. For your listening enjoyment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjQXeOGrQns
I may not have seen many, but that's gotta be the best bass guitar solo I've ever seen.
I’m a big Bonamassa fan too, @Lane Anderson. I got to see Jim live a couple of years ago and his bass player impressed me, as well.
If you haven’t, check out Jeff Beck’s bass player, Tal Wilkenfeld. She’s awesome:

Sadly I don't think that's Joe's regular bass player as none of his other albums seem to have such a strong bass performance.
By the way, thanks for the tip on Tal Wilkenfeld.
Saw Kenny Wayne Shepard last Saturday. Amazing.
But Beth Hart who played first stole the show. She is outstanding. Her albums with Bonamassa are very good.

Yes. Yes they are. 👍
Any early Joe Jackson is great driving music......
