I get very little chance to choose the music when we're travelling, what with my partner's love of Radio 4 and our troupe of teenagers having their own specific beliefs about what we should be allowed to play in public, but on the very rare occasions when I'm alone I can indulge myself and sing along with the best of them.
I used to drive a lot of 80 mile trips between North Manchester and Derby, and I'd play Snow Patrol mostly (very girlie I know). I think I was a bit tired and emotional at the time and it showed. Usually nowadays I'm travelling between North Manchester and Macclesfield, mainly on the motorway and fast back roads, and I love to listen to Faithless. Insomnia has everlong been my theme tune, but for driving I choose We Come 1 because you can belt it out to your heart's content and it always makes you feel good - plus there's bound to be a remix long enough for any journey!
If there's one thing you probably shouldn't listen to when driving, it's Firestarter by The Prodigy, and if you want to ban entire albums, ban anything that's specifically recorded for kids.....
This is a sponsored post, however the musical taste is my own
Great choice. Faithless really do lend themselves to driving I think. Insomnia used to be mobile ringtone back in the day when everyone had music on them!
ReplyDeleteI had ghostbusters at that point because I programmed it myself and it was the limits of my capabilities. I've always been 4 years behind with phones... :D
DeleteWe used to play kids music for almost 3 years cos the music settle them. Im glad now is my turn to listen my fav songs!
ReplyDeleteI tried it once and it drove me up the wall, so from them on we've always played grown up music and they love it, I think it encourages a real interest and keeps me almost sane ;)
