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

    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.

    I must be a psycho because I’m the only person I know who likes to drive in silence.

    Sometimes I put music. But lately I’ve been preferring just silence to drive. It’s been a tendency. Road noises makes me not hear music well or having to put it too loud, so the more that bothers me the more I’ve been just letting me drive without any background music/radio.

      Nah I also like to drive in silence sometimes and hear everything around me. I guess the music is a new feature for me, I’ve changed my car a few months ago and the previous one didn’t have a functional sound system. And neither did the previous car.

      I agree with you about the road noises and volume, which is why I say not all music sounds good in a car. I also turn it off if it gets too noisy, such as driving with wind roar.

    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?

    Depends. Daily commute is discovery, just grinding through unheard stuff and adding stuff I like to playlists.

    Long trips are mostly prog rock, long track times and constant variety help keep me awake and stimulated.
