Music for the Prius

I can't quarrel with any of those. All good. But one of the first songs my Prius will play when I get it will be Queen's "I'm in Love with my Car"

 

Is Queen’s You're My Best Friend on that CD too?

Some of the equally apropos lyrics . . .

Ooh you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you you're all I see

In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home

Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive

And I love the things
I really love the things that you do.

:lol:

 

Vangelis: Soundtrack from Blade Runner.

 

Goughy...

Good music is timeless.

Had some Miles (Porgy) on my last 2000 mile trip,
plus some Maynard Ferguson, Glenn Miller, Woody Herman...
you get the picture

MrMel - Little Red 2005, since Oct 17, 9000+ miles.

 

Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" when in EV mode?

 

Hi All

Cat Steven's Peace Train on Best of Cat Stevens is what is in there now. I will also be listening to The Mama's & The Papa's, Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship, Cher's Believe & Reba Mcintyre Best of.

Of course the first cd I ever put in her was Nirvana's In Utero (to amuse my stepson).

Usually, I keep everything off so that I can just enjoy the lack of noise in the car.

Take care,

Tisza

 

The Dead's Sugar Magnolia while 'briskly' accelerating
"She jumps like a Willys in four wheel drive
she can make happy any man alive"

 

Yanni "Nightbirds" for the AM drive to work with a number of Latin CD's, salsa, Ricky Martin, etc.

PM drive home? Soothing Music instrumental stuff, sometimes Gregorian Chant, Gershwin, Enya.

Big band jazz, blues end the list.

There is nothing on commercial broadcast radio I want to listen to. We have a "sixties classics" station that plays the tunes in a two or three hour loop of lesser hits, rap, whatever passes for rock these days and wall to wall so called country. Two public radio stations, one plays occasional classical stuff (good) and a strange assortment of everything else not avaliable commercially, (weird). The other public radio station does modern jazz (no!) and blues (yes!)

There is a bluegrass station that is so far away it fades in and out.

Overall, there just isn't much there, so I seldom tune in the radio to anything now.

The quiet of the Prius is sometimes acceptable vs my CD selections.

I have the seven CD gift set of Mehdi on order now, along with a couple more of Yanni.

 

Dave Brubeck "Take Five" and if we are going to Country Joe then "Feel Like I am fixing to Die Ragg"

 

I'm addicted to music & constantly changing cds so here is what's in my cd book now:

Tori Amos The Beekeeper
Ani Difranco Knuckle Down
Muse Absolution
Modest Mouse
Sparklehorse
Louis XIV
The Album Leaf
Grandaddy
Joseph Arthur Redemption's Son
Pete Yorn (guy in avatar)
Garden State Soundtrack
Frou Frou
Damien Rice
The Walkmen
Idlewild
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

 

A must have album for any Prius owner (or music lover) is British Sea Power's "The Decline of British Sea Power". Other than being a freakin great CD, the song Childhood Memories (which is a freakin great song) has some amazing Prius-related lyrics.. such as...

Jesus the weather was so good today
But I believe a change is on the way
And a little electricity won't hurt
And no a little electricity won't hurt

Especially when we're all out of gas
And coal and oil, and steel and cash
But a little electricity wont hurt
And no a little electricity wont hurt

What have you been doing in my car!!!
You have excellent taste in music.
I am addicted to Garden State (among others).

 

Thanks! I love Garden State and the soundtrack is as close to perfect as a soundtrack can be. It's right up there with Donnie Darko.
Here's a few more: Wilco, The Shins, Clinic("Come Into Our Room" is perfect for Prius commutes on cold mornings) & The Futureheads. Happy Friday!
