Post-doom grim-scape has no room for Dutch bell bottom wearers going prog rock on us.

146

How do you feel about some sort of middle ground?

147

Oh god.

That sweet bass line is even sweeter.

148

Better

End topic.

What’s the actual criteria though? Songs with some sort of driving concept? Or songs that are good to listen to on a trip?

150

I think a combination of both makes sense.

It’s probably one of those things that involves the opinion of people that think Radiohead are good.

IMO, a driving song is a song for the long, open road. A road trip if you will.

I’m gonna stick with the full album theme and say if you’re up for some New Order then just play Get Ready from start to finish. Pretty sure half the songs on that record were actually used in automobile commercials.

There seem to be two types of people in the world - those that like singles/playlists, others that like albums. I’m an album kinda guy.

Blue Monday is particularly awesome if you’re driving past a harbour with a ship in it, and some company to point it out to.
