But, she totally missed the boat with the BoDeans.... Say > About Love, is the best driving song (Joe Dirt Car version, of course!) Hey wait!! Didn't I write this a couple days ago?? >>>Fun question , Sherry. Now that the weather here has gotten warm (for at least a day - let's hope!!) I know what you mean about certain songs that just have to be listened to cranked up with the windows down. I have a 40 mile drive to work, so I have a lot of these kinds of songs! I haven't had time to compile an actual list, but here's what immediately popped into my head when I read your post, two of which I actually did have cranked up yesterday with the windows down! "Say About Love" - BoDeans (the Joe Dirt Car version) "Sharp Dressed Man" - ZZ Top (for this one, I've usually gotta put on the cruise control to keep myself from speeding! In no time at all, I find myself clipping along at 85 when this is playing! ;>0 ) "What's Up?" - 4 Non-Blondes "One Headlight" - Wallflowers Cindy<<<< ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 11:01:33 EDT From: Ladywiz@aol.com Subject: Re: OV: Re: Driving music My all time fave driving album is INXS's 'Live Baby Live.' The energy of a live show, and a real sing-alonger, too. Since its a double album its the perfect length for dealing with Atlanta traffic. Only 8 days (a week!) till RINGO time!

Since I don't spend that much time driving around town, my driving music is whole albums for road trips. Other than the whole DA catalog (and at this point I must enter my enthusiastic support for their first album, especially in the car...), these others tend to come along for the ride: OMD "Junk Culture" "Dazzle" Simple Minds "Once Upon a Time" "Good News from the Next World" Tears for Fears "Songs From the Big Chair" "The Seeds of Love" Jane Siberry "Bound by the Beauty" Queen Edwyn Collins "Gorgeous George" The Adventures "Sea of Love" (one of my all-time faves) The Triffids "Calenture" The Other Ones "The Other Ones" Mae Moore "Bohemia" Bronski Beat "The Age of Consent" Human League "Hysteria" October Project "October Project" "Falling Farther In" (two of my all-time faves) Foster and Lloyd "Faster and Llouder" Lindsay Buckingham "Out of the Cradle" Josh Clayton-Felt "Inarticulate Nature Boy" The All Seeing I "Pickled Eggs and Sherbert" Travis "The Man Who..."

I can only guess but would have to say...King Biscuit Flour was the sponsor/name of the show...extremely huge in the states...a stoners paradise on a river of classic music...pass the doob...tape fest, I spent many a nights taping that show...I'm sure Ed knows what I'm talking about...

I do too.... Yes, it's still around. What's great about them, is the cd's are making their way into the collectors shows... so the radio cd concerts are available for about $10 - $50 depending on the artist. I've picked up Clapton, Joe Walsh, Matthew Sweet, Steve Miller, some great shows on cd for $10!

I'm most likely among the oldest on this list, as if you wouldn't be able to tell by this list of "Driving Songs" So here goes............. Dels first, I suppose is appropriate....... Kiss This Thing Good-Bye might just be one of the most well produced non-George Martin pop rockers ever, and with those lines about kissing lips and lying tongues, well, who couldn't love this one.......... Sleep Instead of Teardrops Opposite View "I wanna stay in and get wet with you".....what does that line mean anyway? Nothing Ever Happens janitors padlocking gates for security guards to patrol is the best depiction of lonliness since Father McKenzie was darning his socks in the night with nobody near - ------- Treat Her Right---George Thorogood Born to Run---Bruce Springsteen "I wanna know if love is wild, babe, I wanna know if love is real...." Birthday, Back In the USSR, I Saw Her Standing There, "B" side of Abbey Road, etc, etc,---Beatles Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine---The Band "Only time will tell who has failed, and who's been left behind" Tush---ZZ Top Street Fightin' Man---The Rolling Stones Try A Little Tenderness---Otis Redding Your Move---Yes The Story In Your Eyes---Moody Blues If I Had A Million Dollars---BareNakedLadies It Ain't Me Babe---Bob Dylan "You say you're lookin' for someone to pick you up each time you fall, to gather flowers constantly, and to come each time you call. A lover for your life and nothing more.....well, It Ain't Me Babe" All Along the Watchtower---Jimi Hendrix or Dylan, or U2, or Dave Matthews Band, or Dave Mason, or The Grateful Dead, or any version I've ever heard (except for Neil Young's....what a mismatch! Neil's whiny voice coupled with his one-note guitar solo trying a power song like this) "But you and I, we've been through that. And this is not our fate. So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late....." Freebird---The Allman Brothers just kidding Ed..... I Hear You Knockin'----Dave Edmunds good choice Sherry....isn't that the best way to feel when someone spurns your true love? "I hear you knockin', but you can't come in....." Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes---Edison Lighthouse I agree Leah...."There's something about her hand holding mine...." falls right in line with Paul McCartney's "I'm in love and it's a sunny day...." Though only those with a real appreciation of the innocent and uncomplicated side of love would understand that.......wait, I know Justin doesn't think so, but love can be like that, can't it? LOL Why Did I Believe?----Fetus All Stars I'm pretty sure no one else on this list will know this band, but this song has the most fabulous one minute + guitar intro, combined with great lyrics about falling for a woman who knows everything about love..... except how to be in it Dixie Chicken----Little Feet talk about your good songs about falling in love with the wrong woman! Big Chief----Subdudes Goin' To California----Led Zeppelin "Spent my days with a woman unkind, smoked my stuff and drank all my wine" Tangled Up In Blue----The Jerry Garcia Band or The Indigo Girls "We always did feel the same, we just saw it from a different point of view..... Tangled Up In Blue" Jeff (who politely held himself in check during the recent Dylan bashing) ------------------------------ End of oppositeview-digest V2 #11 *********************************
