As the title says. I’ve been listening to some synth, some alternative rock, some electronica. But I find a lot of the music I usually listen to doesn’t sound that great in my car. And I also find I’m more open to different music genres while driving.

I’m curious to know what you’re into, if you want to share artists then the more the better.

    Jazz, especially in the evening. Some of Bill Evans more sparse stuff, Dave Bruebeck quartet. I like the back and forth of ensemble playing too, musical conversations. Like you know what they’re saying? It’s a feeling, not a forgone conclusion. You dig?

    I usually just put my entire library from my Plex server on shuffle and listen to whatever comes up. Which is usually a lot of nu-metal, alt-rock, folk music, j-pop, rap, and j-rock.

    Sometimes though I’ll have something specific I want to listen to, recently that’s been a lot of Colm R. McGuinness (over on YouTube) specifically his WH40K songs, but also all of his other stuff. He makes some great music and I’d recommend checking him out.

    Real answer: podcasts. Doughboys, Doughboys Double, Get Played, Get Played Season Pass (can you tell I like Nick Weiger?), Film Reroll, and Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell me

    Helpful answer: I like singing along to stuff so that ends up being a lot of 80s/90s pop and alt-rock stuff. CAKE, They Might be Giants, Garbage, Jamiroquai, Vengaboys, a bunch of one-hit wonders. Lately I’ve been on a bit of a trance kick so The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, and Daft Punk are in there too

      I love all those in your trance kick list, good choices. I definitely need to grow my 80s 90s mixed list

    I listen to the radio defaulting to npr and if nothing interesting is on I jump through the major song stations and if all else fails I have some tull. Once in awhile if I want to know traffic or weather I will switch to the news station.

    If it’s a road trip and after 2am, I put on Tom Waits’ ‘Nighthawks at the Diner’, otherwise it’s random, preferably Post-punk or Adult Alternative.

    I upgraded the audio in my car until I could listen to the music I like.

    I use YouTube music and enjoy the New Releases playlist. Helps find new artists.

    I must be a psycho because I’m the only person I know who likes to drive in silence.

    Sometimes I put music. But lately I’ve been preferring just silence to drive. It’s been a tendency. Road noises makes me not hear music well or having to put it too loud, so the more that bothers me the more I’ve been just letting me drive without any background music/radio.

      Nah I also like to drive in silence sometimes and hear everything around me. I guess the music is a new feature for me, I’ve changed my car a few months ago and the previous one didn’t have a functional sound system. And neither did the previous car.

      I agree with you about the road noises and volume, which is why I say not all music sounds good in a car. I also turn it off if it gets too noisy, such as driving with wind roar.
