Headphoneus Supremus
I've had to ban several CDs from my vehicles. They are the kind of music that, for whatever reason, provokes a primal response that has me braking late in every turn, using all available tarmac to flatten the apex, leaning into the throttle as the steering wheel begins to unwind and hanging the tail of the car out while the engine wails toward redline, bringing it in just in time for a fast clutch and quick shift to third, stand on the throttle and glance in the rvm for the police as the speedo hits 3 digits...
You get the idea. Some music just seems to open the adrenalin valve and testosterone valve all the way at the same time if it is in the car with me. Scenery just can't go by fast enough when it happens. (I consider other cars part of the scenery at this point).
I am betting that this has happened to others from time to time. So what was the music? I am looking for the stuff that will provoke the response nearly every time. Oh, and you guys within spitting distance of 20 have less credibility in this one. When I was that age the above described pretty much any music. Probably why I got better at driving than dancing, now that I think of it...
Number one on my list is:
The Extremist by Joe Satriani. That CD now has a scull and crossbones stamped on it.
Moving Pictures by Rush is probably second
This evening I found that Bat out of Hell by Jim Steinman now has to be banned. Terrible recording, but inspiring music. I know I know, Meatloaf was the talented vocalist on this album, but Jim wrote the music, and he deserves much of the credit.
So, what tunes connect straight to your throttle foot?
