if youre into podcasts, there are a bunch of good ones on the garagepunk.com site. 10000 fantastic bands youve never heard of. impress your friends and confound your enemies!
Bands to lisen to are: Tiger Army Neckromantiks Reverend Horton Heat Three Bad Jacks Los Creepers Los Straightjackets hope you like it.
Johnny Cash The Clash Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros The Cramps Hot Rod Trio Screamin' Jay Hawkins The Pogues Smashmouth ZZ Top Yep, that'll do for a long drive!
Early Judas Priest albums... (Up to Defenders of The Faith) Blue Oyster Cult. Twisted Sister. Queensryche. Later Megadeth...(from Cryptic Writings on) Ozzy. Anthrax. Alice Cooper. Def Leppard. Dio. (especially the Sabbath era albums) I find really 'heavy' metal makes me too aggressive behind the wheel, while 'pop' metal and classic hard rock makes great driving music. Cheers, Glen.

chuck berry rancid supersuckers transplants social d three bad jacks u.s. bombs (gotta be in the mood) 38 special dr. octagon / cool keith rodger allen wade just some of the top of my head
ha,ha, I was fully going to say FuManchu and look there the 1st one is them. They are not my all time favorite band but for driving and driving fast I cant think of a better band. Slayer is up there though so is Mettalica's kill Them all.. But FuManchu "the action is go" would be my 1st choise....
Great Bands mentioned already.... I'd add - Lords of Altamont - The Fleshtones - Ramones - Voodoo Glow Skulls - X - Dave Alvin - Reverand HH - The Bomboras - Los Straightjackets - Lightenning Hopkins - Son House - Skip James - Howling Wolf - Man or Astro Man - Tom Waits - Neil Young - Carl Perkins - The Hives etc. etc.
Jimmy Valve Lash and the Venturies the only band playin' in my old beater. I guess custom guys listen to the Smithy's they belt out a pretty smooth tune also.
The Black Keys- The Big Come UP(actually any of their albums will do) Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings- Naturally (just great funk/soul) The Avett Brothers SplitLip Rayfield DriveBy Truckers Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Ave. Vol. I and II Black Rabel Motorcycle Club - Howl Explosions in The Sky Gillian Welch- Time (The Revelator) James Hunter -people Gonna Talk (Great Great Stuff) M Ward - Post War Mclusky - Mclusky Do Dallas Mississippi John Hurt My Morning Jacket Neko Case William Elliot Whitmore - Song of The Blackbird Built To Spill - You In Reverse Chris Whitley
Check out rhino records web site they have some cool box sets of hot rod and cruising songs,also the rip chords and the astronauts had some good hot rod songs.Love the cover car on the astronauts competition coupe lp!
A must have is the "Choke on Smoke" CD from Rebel Son. The first track is skipable but most of the others kick ass, especially if you're a redneck like me.
Well - Hot Club of Cowtown do it for me! Add in some Hank, Cash, Woody Guthrie, yes to the flaky Amy Whinehouse - oh, and the Hives....
Artimus Pyledriver, Throw Rag, 9 Lb. Hammer, Rocket 350, Flogging Molly, and Rebel Son make for some good road trip tunes.
