I like some of them listed. I think there shouldnt be just 1 great song. Because Driving doesnt take 3 min. You could have a playlist of 100 songs for a good road trip.

That's the point

TopGear UK already settled this.

no Clutch, it's already wrong.

No Twilight Zone or Hair of the Dog? Those songs are wicked to drive to.

There are many, but there is that one song that exists that just makes a drive perfect. We all have one, but what should that crowning song be? What is the best?

Well, that's what they came up with, but fuck 'em. Their word is not gospel.

Where were you when I asked for songs?

I don't know your plan but I suggest only doing 2-5 match ups per day, don't try doing the entire first round in a single day.

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > Dusty Ventures
11/25/2013 at 20:15

That's what I'm thinking, maybe 4, for the first round, then drop per round.

Clutch is the balls... Too bad their stuff just isn't available in Brazil :/

AMC/Renauledge > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire

Fair enough.

Except I agree with them. And I don't see my #2 on this list at all:

I remember you asking for suggestions but I was tired and wasn't exactly sure what was going on, my mistake as I would have suggested this...

Bandit > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
11/25/2013 at 20:17

Sleeping, school, swimming. That's about all my life consists of, pick one.

I asked three times.

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > AMC/Renauledge

Did you suggest it when I asked?

Well it depends on what you're driving, where and what mood you're in. Doing a top speed run requires a different song than blvd cruising, and you need yet another song for canyon carving.

You had all weekend...

Bandit > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire

I know, I missed it.

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > MtrRider Just Wants Doritos

But, you know there is that 1 that stands above all others.

AMC/Renauledge > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire

I didn't see your posts on the topic.

Aaron James > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
11/25/2013 at 20:21

I only saw the one where you were asking for switches and I had no idea what for, My fault for not asking, I fully support your list and look forward to participating in the voting process.

There is no more one best driving song than there is one type of driving. The tune's gotta fit the mood, man...

Tsc, I've no idea on what to vote... There are at least 7 I can spot at a glance that I love.

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > BlazinAce - Doctor of Internal Combustion
11/25/2013 at 20:27

With the polls, I'll post a video of each song. Play a racing game to them or go for a quick drive and come back to vote

Nice, I like that idea. I might put the match ups on my GTA SA tracks folder, and listen to them in sequence while driving around the game, see which one rings better for each situation

that sucks, are you able to get what you're missing from Amazon?

My girlfriend works in a record store so I have no troubles at all getting anything.

Some are more equal than the others, and one is more equal than those.

I'm pretty sure I posted a Red Fang song?

maybe that was something else.

edit: it was something else. I was hungover that day and didn't oppo

Maybe, probably, to be honest, I just can't afford importing it all at the moment... S&H can be a huge bitch in Brazil, what with the abusive costs and ridiculous shipping times. I have a package stuck at the customs office since October 1st, it's been almost two months already and no dice.

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > beardsbynelly - Rikerbeard

Just looked, didn't see it.

AMC/Renauledge > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
11/25/2013 at 20:50

Yup. I see 'em. And I just so happened to be at a college football game when that was posted. And asleep when the update was. Sigh.

Oh well.

ugh, that sucks. In those cases I totally endorse downloading it. It's a shame they took their stuff off Spotify too,

They're coming here to Australia early next year for the Soundwave festival, Fingers crossed they team up with Mastodon and Baroness for a sideshow.

yeah I posted it on something else. I checked the day you posted and I don't think I got on a computer. Too many whisky's

I did download some of their stuff off Youtube, but if I could afford it, I'd definitely buy the physical media. I already have a somewhat impressive collection of CDs anyways, it's not like I don't buy the stuff I like.

Kinja'd!!!

Currently listening to this one, and the graphic project is the tits. A hardcover booklet with lyrics and images and the CD on the back cover. I already have a neat story with a song in this one and a girl.

I like driving at night to Capable by K.O and dubstep like ketamine ocean by druley or nebulous by numbernin6 or basically anything by feed me

Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire > Hindered23
11/25/2013 at 21:20

There are songs here that you will like. Trust me, I'm a time lord.

Hindered23 > Arch Duke Maxyenko, Shit Talk Extraordinaire
11/25/2013 at 21:22

regardless, you should check out capable, kinda a stonery song but good as hell anyways

11/25/2013 at 22:03

I haven't had a chance to listen to that yet, I've never been a huge Pearl Jam fan. (not out of dislike, just cause I've never really sat down and listened to them)

BlazinAce - Doctor of Internal Combustion > beardsbynelly - Rikerbeard
11/25/2013 at 22:04

I thought it was pretty good, but my opinion might be a little biased... My parents were already into PJ when I was a kid, so I grew up with it, and Alice in Chains and Soundgarden too, among other stuff.

I'm always up to give them another listen. I've listened to quite a lot of Alice and Soundgarden in my time :)

If you really want to get into it, I think the two best ways are with Ten, their 1991 debut record which, in my opinion, doesn't have a single bad or skippable song, or Rearviewmirror, their 2003 greatest hits double album. Both discs are awesome and have a character of their own, with the first one featuring their louder and faster paced songs, and the second one featuring calmer, more intimate stuff.
