    I think torture has been outlawed in France, Glen.

	You've never rocked in the car to, "Waterloo"?

    
    I used to be able to sing "Waterloo" in Swedish, but my brain got too
    full and I had to jettison that part of it.
    

    Knowing me, no.  Knowing you, yes.

	Wow... you DO have good taste in music. :-)

    Oh, no- don't make no promises...

    
    doc likes the album too apparently.

	Well, I guess we're all in the Zoo!

    The best driving song ever written is "Roadrunner" by Modern Lovers
    (Jonathan Richman).
    

    Hell Bent for Leather.

 Is that the same "Roadrunner" done by Junior Walker and the All Stars many
 years ago?

    We once went on a camping trip with another friend who owns a 
    stretch limo (2 wheel drive!).    Anyway (to make a long 
    story short) we were flying down a mountain dirt road - 
    doing 65 mpg, sliding the stretch around the corners listening 
    to a group call Barney Rubble and the blank blank blank.   (don't ask)
    This group sings about some very strange things which cannot be 
    brought up in this conference.  They are some New York city gronge 
    rock group..
    
    Anyway if you are into that New York city trash rock I suppose
    this is "good driving music".    I was more fasinated with attempting
    to understand what they were singing about then anything... 
    
    Later that evening (at the bar) we found that we had puntured 
    a hole in the gas tank and lost 1/4 tank of gas.   This night 
    was one for the books!    

    Re: .20.
    I don't think so.  I think Jonathan Richman wrote the "Roadrunner" I'm
    talking about, because the lyrics refer to Route 128 and driving past a
    Stop & Shop.  It's from the early 1970s, and can be found on the only
    real album that the Modern Lovers released.  The drummer went on to the
    Cars, and the keyboardist to the Talking Heads.
    
    P.S. The Sex Pistols performed "Roadrunner" live, and ripped it off in
    their own song "EMI."
    

I'm still boggling over subjecting someone to 1000 miles in a car with Abba
playing on the stereo.

Glen, I am starting to believe that you're part of a conspiracy.

    What you want to do is go out and buy the latest ministry tape. It will

    Some of it can be quite sooting. Listening to trance/jungle etc, has a

    	RE: .23
    
    	Joan Jett covered that song also.
    
    
    	And it appears that most of you are just listing your favorite
    	songs/albums instead of listing good driving music.  Driving
    	music has to rock, which is more effective at keeping you awake
    	[and alert], especially at higher db levels.
    
    	Add to that a catchy bass/drum line that gets you tapping [or
    	banging] your hands against the steering wheel or seat and voc-
    	als you can shout out along with the album and it'll keep your
    	interest [but please make sure you pay attention to where you're
    	going!!].
    
    	For example:
    
    	"Rage Against the Machine" - Rage Against the Machine
    
    		White-boy heavy rap, so to speak.  Guitar effects are
    		excellent.  The vocalist is no Engelbert Humperdinck,
    		but would you really expect him to be?
    
    	"Psalm 69" - Ministry
    
    		Industrial - quite heavy.  Screeching guitars, machine-
    		gun influenced electronic drum sounds, grating vocals.
    		If this puts you to sleep then there's something ser-
    		iously wrong with you.
    
    	"Rat Race" - Child's Play
    
    		Your basic straight-forward hard rock with a couple of
    		ballads tossed in for variety.  The best album of '91
    		[or whatever year it came out].
    
    	"Unleashed in the East" - Judas Priest
    
    		One of the better-sounding live metal bands, these guys
    		never fail to impress me with their talent.
    
    	"Hairpick" - Blues Saraceno
    
    		Guitar instrumentals.  Blues is 24 now and this is his
    		3rd album [which is 2 years old].  The kid wails.
    
    	"Raging Slab" - Raging Slab
    
    		Some of you might have heard me mention these guys once
    		or twice.  Skynyrd meets Metallica ... combine southern
    		hard rock and whacked-out timing changes and you have
    		Raging Slab.  And toss a couple ballads in for good
    		measure.
    
    	"Oh No! It's Devo" - Devo
    
    		The ultimate techno band of the 70's/80's, this album
    		will have you singing along and banging your hands on
    		the steering wheel once you get a feel for it.
    
    	"Deaf Gods of Babylon" - Lord Tracy
    
    		Medium/hard rock album that is ALOT of fun and deserves
    		repeated listenings.  This band really knows how to
    		rock and has a great time doing it.
    
    	"Paradise Theater" - Styx
    
    		Yeah, I know that this was 1 of the 1st albums that you
    		think they "sold out" on, but hey, it's fantastic.
    
    	"Headhunter" - Krokus
    
    		Combine Marc Storace's "less than perfect" vocals and
    		Fernando von Arb's wailing guitar riffs and you've got
    		a recipe for a kick-butt album.
    
    
    
	There are a bunch more, but hey, I can't list 'em all.  And I
    	just noticed that I listed 10 albums in this entry, which is
    	exactly the same as the number of CD's that the changer in my
    	Duster holds.  So it looks like I just decided which albums to
    	put in there when I finish with the ones that are in there.
    

      <<< Note 773.37 by BUSY::SLAB "Always a Best Man, never a groom" >>>

    	>"Unleashed in the East" - Judas Priest
    
         3 great chords, 4 great albums....

    
    	I'm pretty sure they have 14 albums, but thanks for playing.
    
    	Let me check.
    
    	Make that 15 ... that's how many I have, and I'm pretty sure
    	that I have them all.

    listening to rush for the last week. most awesome highway music.

    Shawn, really.  You lost me after Rage & Ministry.

    
    	I'm sorry that I decided to list albums that are more than 4
    	years old, April.
    
    	I promise to do better the next time.
    

	Santana - Lotus
	Allman Brothers - Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas
        Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond (if you can find it)
	Grateful Dead - Hundred Year Hall
        Jethro Tull - This Was

    I have heard rumors of people who have made copies from albums to
    create tapes of selected songs.  The rumors often imply they often use
    friends albums to make such tapes.  Given this is illegal I in no way
    promote such activity as it starts us on the slippery slope to the end
    of civilization 8^).      
    
    Then again the complete CDs aren't too shabby in their own right.

German group Kraftwerk has an album from about 1974 called Autobahn.
There is a 22 minute 30 second song on there of the same name.  It
is excellent driving music.

Bill Powers

    
    	Is the song called "Kraftwerk" or "Autobahn"?
    

    The song is Autobahn.  Good stuff.  I have it back-to-back with the 12"
    single version of Relax by FGTH.  Now that's what I call driving music.
                

    Re: kraftwerk
    
    Do they not do more techno stuff nowadays. I am sure I saw a video of
    them on MTV about 3 years abck, and it sounded pretty techno to me
    then?
    

  RE: Kraftwerk

  They are an electronic band who started in the early 70's.  They
  are pioneers in electronic music.  There were musicians who came
  before them into electronic music though, so I'm not saying they
  were the first to produce it.   Yes, much of the techno crowd was 
  influenced by this group.  They don't do much anymore,
  and have kind of broken up.  A couple of years ago, they did a
  remix album of all their "Hits".  You wouldn't hear their songs
  on many radio stations in the US though.  Certainly not any pop
  stations.  On the remix album, they cut the length of Autobahn 
  down to a little over 9 minutes.  The original is still the best
  though.  You can still find their stuff on CD, probably as imports.
  I think Newbury Comics here in Nashua still has a bin for them.

    	I do remember hearing Kraftwerk's "Autobahn", but I don't
    	remember the song at all except that it was a long instrum-
    	ental.
    
    	I was working at a restaurant at the time, doing "opening"
    	duties like cleaning and sweeping and stocking, and I used
    	to crank up the radio in the bar and listen to 94.1 WHJY's
    	"Rock'n' Roll Root Cellar" and they played it 1 Sunday morn-
    	ing.  That's also where I heard Firesign Theater's "Nick
    	Danger" for the 1st time.
    

     When I lived in Germany my favorite tape to drive to on the autobahn
    was the B-52's Cosmic Thing.

    For some reason, I can never remember the titles of most CDs, which is
    why my list was so small (and even then I missed the Corrs' title -
    one I listen to frequently, I might add).
    
    For instance, there is a Loreena McKennit CD that has a ONE WORD title
    - a CD that I enjoy often - that I can't remember at the moment.

    AC/DC - HIGHWAY to Hell played over and over and over and over and
    over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
    and then when your just starting to get alittle tired of that you 
    could throw in Hagar's I believe self title album with I can't drive
    55 on it played over and over and over and over and over and over you
    get the idea.

    Yup,"Highway to Hell","Power Age","High Voltage" etc. Great stuff.
    
    Or "Too Fast for Love","Girls,Girls,Girls" or "Shout at the Devil"
    by Motley Crue.
    
    Or almost anything by Van Halen and Aerosmith.
    

    I was also wrong about Heather Nova's CD...it is entitled "Oyster".

    Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat
    Loreena McKennit - The Visit
    Mariah Carey's debut release (her best one, IMO)
    
    
    And, if you like Piano music, try Lynn Arriale Trio - The Eyes Have It

    
    Dave Mathews Band, good choice!!! Listened to one of their CD's in
    Blockbuster. I liked it.

    
    	RE: Stu
