Did they play 'Underneath the Radar"?
Did they play 'Underneath the Radar"?
MAX is doing top 100 driving songs.
Fast Car has just come in at #18.
Is this another example of people not knowing what a song is about?
It’s 10 past 1 in the morning! We have another 180kms to go! Lets bang on a Tracey Champman song that makes you want to sit in the corner and cry whilst drinking cheap whisky out the bottle …
In what fucked up world is Horses a driving song?
FMD. Worst road trip ever.
It’ll drive ya krazy, Ho ho ho!
You’re dead to me.
As dead as this playlist.
You’re the voice is no driving song.
You Oughta know that this AINT NOT FUCKING DRIVING SONG!
It’s a bloody singalong list. Not a driving list.
Number 1 isn’t Radar Love.
This country is fucked.
This is where you went wrong. I mean, what were you expecting dude?
Radar Love.
I was expecting Radar Love.
The White Lion cover version?
Btw, just mentioned this topic to my wife. Her interpretation of Driving Songs is also way off the mark like MAX. She reckons they are singalong songs. Pfft.
She therefore thinks we are ‘misguided muppets’.
White Lion covered Radar Love?
Why does no one tell me these things!
If that driving list did not have one John Hiatt song then it is seriously fucked. Just fantastic driving music.
Those MAX lists are horrible anyway because they are almost always produced by Chit Chat and he is absolutely clueless.
Nah, that’s caraoke.
I’ll get my coat.
It could have been worse. According to a study conducted in the UK where drivers were exposed to various styles of music by artists including Slipknot, Bach & Taylor Swift, it found that Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” produced the best driving results.
The test was obviously conducted on closed roads…

Is there any list (good) that this song shouldn’t be on?
There’s a difference between night driving and daytime, urban or country. If you’re doing night and urban, your electronic stuff comes more into it rather than your longhairs with guitars.
As in, that Triffids song is great driving the open road (well duh) in the daytime, but doesn’t work driving through the cityscape and the neon like say Kraftwerk’s Man Machine album.
For that reason I’m gonna need more time for this.
