Hmm - like I'm gonna open up my music tastes to have the p*** ripped out of me

OK - the ones I dare to print - ABC, Duran Duran, U2, Culture Club, H17, Human League, Wham & GM solo, Simple Minds, Wx3, King, Clapton, Led Zep, Oleta Adams, Johnathan Butler, T’Pau, Spandau Ballet, Level 42, Dire Straits, Cutting Crew, Johnny Hates Jazz, Hue and Cry, Eurithmics, Pet Shop Boys, AC/DC, John Cougar M, Rush, Talk Talk, Clash, Madness, FGTH, Madonna.....

If it was played in the 80's I probably listen to it regardless of classification but what gets played to death - tough one but if I was stuck on a desert island with one choice of record to last me for eternity ABC -Lexicon of Love, I never tire of listening to that and I can't remember when it hasn't been in my car - ever!!

Mos Def - Oh No, Miss Fat Booty and Speed Law

Ice Cube - Check Yo Self & You Can Do It

Wu Tang Clan - The Jump Off & Careful (Click, Click)

Comptons Most Wanted - Hood Took Me Under

Dilated Peoples - Live On Stage, Worst Comes To Worst & Proper Propaganda

DJ Format - The Hit Song & Battle Raps

Cypress Hill - Insane I The Membrane & Tequila Sunrise & Rap Superstar

Redman feat. B.Real - Time for some action

Joe Budden - Pump it up & Fire

and if you can find it theres a tune called Hit Em High by B.Real, Method Man, Busta Rhymes and LL Cool J (before he went lame). I not sure if it was released cause the version I've got is a live version.

I also do recommendations for Trance and Break Beat

I love my iPod.

lol not taking the mick here, whats break beat?

sampling, scratching, most things with a strong drum beat and a quiet melody. - difficult to describe... Its like Hip hop with out the vocals.

See Beck, Massive Attack, some of Fatboy Slim's earlier stuff, DJ Shadow.

Fingathing?

Good call

See also: The Doors, The Who, Eagles, early 90s Aerosmith (Get A Grip album, circa 1992). Rock on

cant stand ac/cd cos of that muppet in the school uniform

and i cant stand brian may either

hes rubbish, only famous cos of eddie mercury

lets ave it.........


first of all you must ---- i say must ---- take a hold of Moby's "I like to score" collected soundtracks album and grab the James Bond remix. essential.

A team and knightrider themes

my favourite game (cardigans), just a day and buck rogers (feeder) ... skip 7 days in the sun tho

finished symphony (hybrid... the mix used in ssx v1) and clubbed to death (rob d)

rock star (jason nevins remix) - NERD ... think i already had that, lol, but hey. and she wants to move, and lapdance

dream on - aerosmith (circa 1975). and aye, their late 80s/early 90s stuff is bombariffic.

black shuck / get your hands... (the darkness) --- get to red light, drop windows, crank stereo... lock doors. as many f**ks per minute as a rap song but somehow more offensive in a falsetto.
(for that matter, tenacious D and the album tracks of electric 6 may be substituted)

and some looooooooooong rock pieces to bulk out the disc and make long journeys seem shorter (i know the original idea was a cruisin' / posin' disc, but meh)

bat out of hell & i'd do anything for love (meat loaf)
freebird, mental freewheeling, awesome guitar solo iconic 11 minute version (lynyrd skynyrd)
stairway. duh. (zep)
bohemian rhapsody. ditto. (queen)
dry country (bon jovi) --- also got a building... building... building solo
more than a feeling, utterly full length 12 inch single type version (boston) - because apparently it's awesome, and if you track it down, you are also God.
the chain (fleetwood mac -- ie f1 riff, after the quiet, drawn out intro)

bla bla bla......... too tired to remember the rest of my list now. f00 on it.

.....


silly things on the flipside (er, glue 2 cds together back to back?)

walk like an egyptian (bangles)
venus (bananarama... or were these t'other way round?)
love shack (b52s)
take on me (a-ha --- not actually that good a driving tune really but fits with the rest of the bunch)
julia (steve miller band?) --- ie old time top gear tune
driving in my car (madness) --- well yeah
temptation (heaven 17
in the night (pet shop boys) -- for when folk stop and go... hey isnt that the*.... and you go... WTF you talking about
blue water (its a japanese tv theme but sounds poppy and 80s, it generally takes 1 verse and a half chorus to clock on and again start WTFing)
love gravy (ike turner, chef, and some other guy whose good with a piano) --- its silly but also funky
get up / sex machine (james brown) ... because you cannot deny he is super bad
billie jean (mikey j) --- the inspiration of a thousand bad mashups
long train running (doobie bros) -- because its great.

that should kill 80 minutes or so, each.

The Barbs "Lupine Peroxide" -- *excellent* driving music!

Kinda punkish. Done with a huge amount of tongue-in-cheek. Great fun!

Deek.

Seconded!
(You know they're making a movie of this? Jack Black's next project after King Kong...)

Also, try Veurca Salt's "Resolver" for music that deserves the volume you can get in a car and in which the language seems so much sweeter when it's backed up with the emotion to go with it and isn't just "par for the course" as seems to be the case with most rap (to me, anyway).

Deek.

Tahrey - Theres a cool remake of the a team theme by Soulwax, available on most P2P software

ah, soulwax, bless

im just hoping the tape deck on the stereo i used to record choice cuts of radio one's Ten Hour Takeover last saturday (?sunday?monday?goixday?) is working alright because i'll then have the full 5 minute funky-breakdown-in-the-middle original version

i'll keep an eye out - think i heard that mix somewhere recently, even. might have been in the club, the dj came on made a special request announcement and threw it on. no one dancing - or giving the staff any BS - for a good 3 minutes. fantastic.

surely the remix was by 2 many djs? an alter-ego of soulwax (and a tune from "much against everyones advice")
