favorite songs...be specific

[Condor]

On the Streetpilot c550 I just loaded up a bunch of my CD's, and stored individual tunes. Ripped the CD's to the computor, then converted them to MP3, and loaded them on the GPS with an 8gig card. I downloaded a free converter http://www.wma-mp3.org/ off the net. There's a bunch of them but this one seemed to have no hidden agenda....

 

One of my favorite CD's is Starbucks Night on the Delta. Great CD if you like Bayou Jazz. Before the HD fried I used to have a cut of 'Sea Lion Woman' from the movie General's Daughter. If you like hot humid traditional jazz this is the one. Gotta get another copy. Another rip would be 'The Jazz Singer' from the movie 7days-7Nights.

 

I guess most of the stuff I have loaded on the GPS are Jazz/Classical with a heavy beat. Not that I don't like some of the faster stuff, I just don't think my brain needs any more up-tempo type input than it already has.... Plus a little Jimmy Buffet never hurt anyone....

[Midnight V-4]

All those great tunes and no one mentioned one of the greatest driving/riding songs of all time. REO Speedwagon and "Roll With The Changes"

I can see now that I'm gonna have to hide the itunes bill from the gate keeper!!!!!!!!

[mini-muffin]

Well I have a wide and varying selection. I have a lot of the ones mentioned so far, was glad to see someone mention the Ramones. Saw them in central park when I was 16. I'll list a few groups not sure anyone has heard of, but they are more current for those that think the list is for old folks. :crackup:

 

Passion pit, AFI, Blaqk Audio, the constellations, She wants revenge, Christina Aguilera (she's got a great voice) shakira, even lady gaga.

Just to name a few. Plus I have lots of older stuff way too much to list here, much has been mentioned already. Lets see the cars weren't mentioned or the beatles.

Dont forget Roy Orbison, and George Thorogood:thumbsup: Craig

[puppy]

Comfortably Numb, by Pink Floyd. Specifically the long version, from the live concert at Earls Park. It is about 7 1/2 minutes long, and ends with Roger Waters guitar solo. It is on all my homemade cd's.

[91nwl]

Sons of the Pioneers, yes! You got to include Marty Robbins in there.

You're my kind of guy.

 

I've got a bunch of Marty Robbins and it goes down the road real good too.

Metallica - anything they have ever recorded

Stone Temple Pilots

Godsmack - if you have never listened to them, at least check out "Voodoo"

As far as the ultimate "Road Tune", I would have to say Jackson Brown - "Running on Empty" or George Thorogood (spelling?) "Bad to the Bone" are it for me.

Well lets see like most on here I have a wide variety ( and if you ask my kids they will say strange variety ) of songs , but the one that sticks in my head the most is I can't Drive ( ride ) 55 , by Sammy Hagar . Something about getting on my bike and just riding , I have a problem of throttle twist . Just like turning up the radio I like to twist the throttle . I'm sure I'm not the only one through.

[slick97spirit]

Got a great list going here and quite a few downloaded......anymore?

[Grey Ghost]

I may have overlooked them on someone else's post and I'm showing my age, but mine includes a lot of Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Johnny Rivers, The Beatles and Rod Stewart.
