Road tunes.

Same.
The country music doesn't bother me... but on my Ipod there's very little new country.
 
Commercial Country music has been around since at least the 1950's, maybe earlier. IMO, there is little of value from anything that came from the Nashville formula - be that Tammy Wynette, Eddie Rabbit or the current crop of faces pushed by that same machine. I give Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee and ole Waylon some credit for bucking the machine, but they have more rock n' roll in their genes (jeans?) than country anyways and were more relevant to the Memphis scene than Nashville.

That said, I like a lot of real bluegrass just fine - and there is some country tinged folk music I like to listen too from time to time.
 
A good Cajun country tune will always get my toes movin'

Dont have a I pod but road trips for me likely include these CD's in the changer.... Tom Petty Full Moon Fever, anything SRV. Metallica Master of Puppets, Kill em All, and or And Justice for All. The Pretty Reckless Light Me Up, One of the Haletorm albums. The Black Keys The Big Come Up, 20 Watt Tombstone Wisco Disco!
 
I tend to rely on the radio when driving.

Satellite radio is kinda nice, but I find that I always flip between three Rock stations and the Blues station and that's it.

The odd time that I find something of interest on another station it only lasts for a song or two and then something that I find annoying comes on.

I've tried loading up a USB stick with my own stuff and letting the radio shuffle, but it seems like my radio will only shuffle an artist or an album, not the whole thing. But I haven't spent any time trying to figure it out.
 
Yeah.... I just can't do the radio.

'specially satellite - it sounds so bad it gives me a headache. Our little jeep came with a 6 month trial... After the first week, I started taking the old iPod classic with me. It random shuffles just fine....never tried a USB stick...

Maybe you should grab a little 4%0, iPod shuffle?
 
I only tune the radio in
rarely put on a cd
never listen to satellite

I like hearing the commercials from the area or i get into the morning shows such as dave and chuck the freak http://wrif.com/shows/dave-and-chuck/
i dont mind talk radio if the conversation is interesting to me.
On long drives i flip alot of stations. Sometimes i drive without the radio and just have my thoughts.
 
I find Metallica's ...And Justice for All to be completely unlistenable. The production value is just so awful on that album that I have to have an equalizer setting specifically for it, and it still sounds bad. That's sad, because it's an amazing album when performed live. Death Magnetic suffered similar production problems, in addition to just being a typically shitty post-1992 Metallica album. The common thread between the two? Lars Ulrich stuck his fingers in the production of both and overrode the actual mixers and producers. "Yeah, this sounds good. Leave it like this." It should be noted that Lars Ulrich has had hearing problems since the mid-1980s as a result of never once using any kind of hearing protection and is nearly deaf now. He probably should not be the arbiter of what sounds good.

Obviously I haven't been in control of the tunes in some 17 years, but when I was it was most-often mixed tapes or CDs of various artists and songs, with me just switching them out here and there. I rarely listened to a single artist or album, with some notable exception being Tesla's Mechanical Resonance , Guns 'n' Roses Appetite for Destruction, Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia, the compilation Nativity in Black: A Tribute to Black Sabbath, Queensryche's Rage for Order and Operation: Mindcrime (when I have enough time to listen front-to-back), and Junkyard's Sixes, Sevens and Nines. I also had a bunch of home-made "best of" CDs from such artists as (but not limited to) Megadeth, Junkyard, Stabbing Westward, Veruca Salt, Dokken, W.A.S.P., and Van Halen--which of course contains nothing with Sammy Hagar's voice in it. I also did some "themed" mix tapes/CDs, such as a two-volume set of lesser-known oddball covers I titled Graven Images I and II and another two-disc compilation called Electronic Hell that wasn't electronica so much as being fast-tempo "industrial"-type songs due to heavy effects or sampling, including covers and complete remixes.

If everything seems kind of old, please refer to my above comment about not having driven in 17 years. :D
