For the road ?
You can all smack me on the wrist if this isn’t POP.
Never heard these guys until random dial twisting while driving to town had me spellbound. Perfect music for driving was my first thought. Not so mad on the lead singers falsetto and the drummer can get a bit monotonous but hey, that’s really nitpicking when you can just settle back and go with their stuff so easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DADkjANaGQ |
Of course "driving to town" can mean different things to different people ;):

Play this a lot in the car. Ran across it today on Youtube where the strange visuals still annoy me. Something about this hints these two DON’T WANT TO TELL US SOMETHING but I’m never sure what.

I quite liked the video, Ayn: a road trip with a classic car in attractive country that I don't recognise. Difficult to mess that up even if those guys do have some secret agenda going on.
The song has a great lead in. I liked it a lot, although at the start I was expecting it to turn into the Peggy Lee song of the same name. In fact, I wish they had sung a bit of Peggy Lee's as well. IMO that would've made a good song even better, but as it was, I was left with a nagging doubt about if there are any musical similarities between the two songs. For anyone who had the same reaction, have a listen and please let me know as I am terrible at identifying those kinds of similarities/differences :- ______________________________________ As for road pop, I used to love Golden Earring's big hit, and have since come across an even better cover version of Radar Love. This is out and out rock, not pop, so it's your chance for revenge, Ayn: berate me all you want for putting the wrong song of the wrong genre in the wrong thread. |
I’m really coming to hate these puzzles of where to put a song.
Let's just say this one plays well on the road. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNJ4SN76Sio |

The lead guitarist is something else. Wonder if they recorded a studio version ? |

Several centuries ago if a composer regurgitated another’s melody line it would be taken as a compliment, not theft. Never mind, keeps a hoard of copyright lawyers in caviar. Quote:
It’s just occured to me to wonder why those two chose to film that scenario to the background of Fever. But then again I do have an obsession with reading gay explanations into otherwise innocent stories. |
JJ Cale is a great choice for a car journey: the chugging beat of his songs is just right. The Troubador album is his acknowledged best, and who am I to disagree with that?

Instructions for listening to LA Woman: 1. Start car and turn on stereo 2. Depress clutch and engage first gear. 3. Move off and steadily accelerate through the Doors instrumental intro 4. Done correctly, you will be at cruising speed when Jim Morrison starts singing. |

Can’t use the E-TRON GT all the time though as my dogs don’t fit in the back and it’s a bit rough on some of the crappy country roads around here. Magic though for picking up a certain kind of hitchhiker. |
