Good cd's for long drives?

[VenomGA]

iPods are PERFECT for this type of thing too! Just make sure you get an adapter that CHARGES as it plays or you'll be left with out an iPod after about 3- 5 hours.

I have the D-Lo one and it is wonderful. I have a 4 hour business trip drive next week and will be loading some additional tunes on the iPod for the trip.

All I can say is that in the week it took me to drive from St. Paul, MN to Hartford, CT last March I would have been lost with out the car charger on my adapter. Imagine that drive with NO music! Ick.

Where you heading to?

Hey, at least you have CCC once you get about 40 minutes away from Hartford. Though they kind of suck since the only pop rock/punk station was reformatted to the 6th r&b station in the city. Started playing more stuff like that to cater those people to gain them as listeners. Only benefit still is that they aren't a clearchannel station.

uke: CCC uke:

CCC rules if you like "live" versions of Pearl Jam covering Van Halen. Or Creed.

The DJ's there have the BIGGEST ego's I've ever encoutered in ANY radio market anywhere. They think because they had Howard Stern they now rule the world. The morning guy is some overweight 50 year old guy who constantly makes deragatory remarks towards women. Most of the time I think it's funny... but not with him. I don't think it's funny to call into the place where you have a membership to work out and ask if your trainer's breasts are still there. No, I don't want to contribute $5 to your "sports guy" so when you get to Las Vegas he can have sex with a prostitute. No I don't think it's funny to talk about it every morning on the airwaves. I think any man that has to pay for sex is disgusting under almost any cirucmstances.... and I think guys that condone it are just as slimy. It was funny when Howard did it mostly because he was *mostly* joking and back then it was cutting edge.

The evening DJ is just as bad. He's got an ego because he gets afternoon drive time. Then they spend at least 30-45 minutes (at rush hour) telling you every little thing that's happening in the state. I could care less what shitty coverband is playing 2 hours from me... even if they do have beer pong. I've been listening to people talk all day long, if I wanted to hear mindless rambling I would have stayed at work.

Actually almost any DJ in this area has the "Big fish in a little pond" mentality... but they don't realize that they are in a tiny market. Guarenteed if they went to any other market they'd be off the air in a heart beat. No one outside this 50 mile radius has any clue who they are, yet they assume that the world belongs to them.

Their *best* prize was a chance to see KoRn live. Whooo hooo. Nowdays, you couldn't pay me to see them. Let alone go for free? Ick.

I'd actually like it to go to clear channel so they can get rid of these assholes. Yes, I said it. I'll stop now before I go on even longer about what a shit channel CCC is.

I'm so happy that I don't have to listen to any of that crap! VIVA ipods!

Like I said. The format changed from a lot of old school & some current metal/rock to what it is now just a few years ago. The best time was when they had Dee Snyder but they got rid of him for Bubba the Love Sponge who I couldn't stand. I graduated from University of Hartford 3 years ago now. Format started changing sometime my junior year when the rock station kicked the can because the area really needed one more r&b station.
I was in the area for work not too long ago. They actually had Sebastion Back on for a bit and he sang a song or two. Had a solo show at the Webster while on the big tour.

 

[MetalRose]

I remember when I used to come out here every summer when I was in Elementary school that KISS FM was pretty rocking (but that was 20 years ago)... but It seems a lot of the at least semi decent markets have gone off the airwaves. But then again, since having my portable music with me I haven't made much of an effort to try and find radio stations. I should seeing as how I most likley lose out on local shows.

Anyway, enough

Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Not to mention the greatest live album of all time...IRON MAIDEN-"Live After Death".

I originally bought this on vinyl, and it's one of the first releases I can remember when the band absolutely knocked themselves out to give the fans VERY cool packaging.

However, I was extremely disappointed when I tried to replace this release on CD. The original was a double album, but Capitol cut it down to 12 tracks on a single disc. WTF???

I notice that I seem to like to listen to concept albums for the most part on long drives because those are the best when u listen to them all the way through.

Absolutely, which is why Green Carnation's Light of Day, Day of Darkness is way up on my list.

I like Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon. But that is only when I am driving while on Heroin.

Your best bet is to have a head unit in your dash that plays mp3s or wmas and then just dump as many songs on a disk that you can for drving. Mix tapes rule.

Depends on how fast you want to drive. When I listen to Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera, I have to keep my speed in check. Something about "and then there was silence" causes my gas foot to tense up towards the floor.
