What do you listen to when your driving?

[lukel90]

i was jsut thinking and wondering what everyone listens to when they drive their mazda? Do you listen to the radio all the time, or CD, or maybe a combination of both. What cd\'s you listen to, you know stuff like that.

Im getting a little bored or the radio, and need some new music. If anyone can suggest a few good cd\'s that would be great. I dont really have a music style that i like more. i can listen to anything from 50 cent to linkin park. Just something new would be nice. It jsut camo out and im already sick of hearing the dam,n new backstreet boy song. WHy do people listen to that, ahhhhhh..i hate it. i bet itll be one of the most overplayed songs in a month or so..one of the reasons why i stay away form the radio. anyways give me your thoughts

[MAZDA Kitten]

Mornings stuck in traffic: Radio. It keeps me entertained.

A lot of the time its my Ministry of Sound, Essential Mix, etc etc sets other than just your typical hiphop (last few days Ive had all my Lil Kim CD\'s on rotation).

[g_g]

lately ive been more of a rock guy. But i like new stuff not really anything that plays on the radio. There is a really good British band called Bloc Party that ive been listening to a lot lately ( i highly recommend this cd). However i get my system installed in 2 weeks, so that might sway me back to hip hop a little.

[wtom]

If it\'s radio, morning/afternoons 680 News. Night time, 103.5 or 93.5. CD it\'s Trance music. If GF is in car, it\'s Hip-Hop/RnB/Chinese/Korean/Japanese pop. Yes my 6CD changer investment was well worth it. :D

[bluntman]

I mainly listen to the various \"Chillout House\" CDs that I bought when I was on vacation, I can\'t find them here for some reason. I also listen to Michael Buble for something a little out of the ordinary (for me any way).

Mornings I switch between Howard Stern, The Fan 590 and 93.5. If I\'m lucky and there is a good show on college radio (89.5, 88.1, 105.5) I\'ll usually check that out. For the drive home it can vary but again I\'ll stick to the Fan or my CDs (usually Hip Hop, more Hip Hop, R&B or my custom mixes).

I\'m seriously contemplating either getting Satellite radio or investing in an iPod (or similar) to expand my musical selection. But enough about that...there\'s a new Backstreet Boys song!?!!? :p

It seems that all the Chinese dudes I know listen to Chinese music for their GFs / GF-to-be\'s.... lol

Been listening to DJ Tiesto on CD to test out the sub...

[Dr Butcher]

I\'m mainly a classic rock/rock type of guy. I do like a fair bit of hip hop and dance as well though.... At the moment I have AC/DC Back in Black, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Billy Talent CD\'s in my car. The thing with most hip hop recordings is that they are nice and loud, great for relieveing stress on the way home from work. :)

[bubba1983]

give me the reggae/soca vibe.....

i swear i shoudl have been brown, and not white...

[civiclad]

I listen to JackFM 92.5 or CHUM FM 105.5 or 680 News.
My daily commute is approx 20 minutes each way, not much time to really enjoy my music

[MAZDA3_MIKE]

i just turn off the radio and listen to the zoom zoom of the 2.3l and cat back , who
needs a radio :D

that makes two of us :D . . . i like listening to reggae and and indian hiphop/remixes :p But i turn it down when it gets really high-pitched, cause then it hurts my ears! I usually listen to that or 93.5 or 102.1 watever has the best song on at the time, and if nothing good i put on mix cd of alt!

[jimdragon8]

Depends on what mood I am in:

:D - Hip Hop and RnB cd\'s with various artists. Flow 935, Z103.5, since I got my stubby, I can now get 93.7 WBLK, 98.5.

:( - Boyz to Men, Sappy music. So if you pull up beside me and you hear slow jams blasting out of my car you know what mood I am in!!!!

Wouldn\'t that be the funniest, you have a sooped up Mazda 3, you pull to the line, and there is Celine Dion blasting from the sunroof and windows of the car!!:D :p :sarc

[lukel90]

i tend to stay away from radio more often now. it seems likt the selection of good music right now has decreased over the last few years. these artists better start putting out some good cd\'s, not just 1 good song. I was thinking about the Ipod. but i cant get myself to spend 500 bucks on something that jsut plays music. ive tried many times.

[super_vixen]

I rarely listen to the radio...I usually burn mix CD\'s to listen to

Top 40 stuff sometimes, I like the stuff the Mix plays, but otherwise I\'m an alternative/rock girl.
NIN, Garbage, Jakalope, Coldplay, etc.

Sometimes I listen to things that are a little more electronic, or \"dancey\".

[whodilly]

I never listen to the radio in the car... too many comercials and talking, not enough music. Usually it all depends on the mood I\'m in but into pretty much everything.
Fast hwy driving (140km and up): gotta have the beats going, house, electronic, hip hop
Cruisin on hwy: R&B, hip hop, reggae,
City: Mixture of everything... but usually something I can sing along with. I\'m the guy that\'s bobbing his head up and down and wailing with the song in the car:D

Current CDs in my car
Talib Kweli - Beautiful Struggle (good hip hop, none of that money,ice and hoes shiat)
Daft Punk - Discovery (personal fav)
Black star - Black star (one of the best hip hop albums)
Samurai Champloo OST (Music from an awsome anime series, mostly electronic, ambient... good beats !)
K-OS - Exit (good stuff!)
Armand van Helden - New York Mix odyssey (I love this cd. great mix of songs)
Armand van Helden - Mix mag cd (some more good house)
Jodeci - the show, the after party the hotel (Fav R&B group, sing along cd :D )
Mix Reggae cds x2
R&B Jumpoff 14 mixed by Big Mike (Mix cd of the latest r&b)
GZA - Liquid swords (Wu-Tang aint nothin to f--k with!!!)
Pete Rock - Soul survivor 1&2, underground soul classics (Soul brotha #1! wicked beats!!)
Linkin Park - Reanimation (theres something about this angry music I like?... oh yeah makes you wanna drive faster and race everybody!)
Alica Keys - Diary of alica keys (I love this girl! Talented and beautiful)
Several mix cds from my buddies of electronica, electroclash, house, club stuff

If anybody needs music let me know... I\'ve got 3224 songs on my ipod! Too bad its old
:( maybe i should get one of those PIE thingys?

[Grifter]

It depends on what mood I\'m in. Lately I\'ve been listening to lots of Britney...:)

FLAME ON!:D

[billyfo]

work day morning -- AM 680 for traffic, FM 88.9 Chinese radio, then CD
work day afternoon -- again AM 680 then CD

[Fuman]

CD ususlly...

[FLIPDADY]

When it\'s just me and my wife in the car it\'s R&B/Hip-Hop. When the two kids are in the car it\'s Disney songs.:D

[cookie]

I rarely listen to the radio. Usually listen to my hip hop cd\'s. What station and what time is Howard Stern on? LoL!

Ha! I agree.

[DJB]

Speaking of music in our cars... does anybody know if Mazda offers an audio package which is iPod compatable?
Being a Club DJ, I can\'t seem to justify buying anything else for the car (audio wise). The 6pack CD changer just doesn\'t cut it... can\'t get all the music I want to fit onto 6 discs lol.
Oh, and the preference I would play in my ride (once I take the plunge and sign on the dotted line) would be Retro 80\'s (and of course whatever I\'m currently playing in the clubs).

Another interesting point I had found out about audio in the Mazda3:
If you decide to change the deck in the car to something 3rd party, you run the risk of voiding your warranty. Not only the warranty for the electrical, but the powertrain and all.
Do some research and ask your dealership before you decide to install 3rd party systems. I had inquired about this with the boys from Avanti and they said that it\'s a good chance if anything goes wrong with your car electrical wise and you\'ve installed 3rd party stereo systems, say good bye to your warranty.

DJ\'B

[Ex-Rolla]

Trance, House, Chillhouse, Alternative...

[Junior]

music videos ...hip-hop,reggae,reggaeton

[Marcelino]

Vocal Trance, especially when driving, there is nothing better! Its a perfect way to get moving! and best way to test your car speakers!... if I am at home its only rock, the truest form of great music... Pink Floyd, Guns N\' Roses, Radiohead, Pearl & Soundgarden and lately SYSTEM OF A DOWN!!!:D

[eguiyab]

Been switching up between Flow, Z103, Mix & Chum. Basically any station that isn\'t on commercial break... Therefore, Now XM Radio.
Mainly a majority of Hip-hop, rap, R&B, Top 40. Lately thou... totally outta character. Micheal Buble, James Blunt, and Bond (modern classical stuff). But anything that give the subs a good workout is always welcome...

Anyone got any suggestions on tracks?? Open to all genres..

[SourcE]

Alright so I've noticed this on a few other forums I've vistied and I figured I'd start one up here.

Basically I just want to know what everyone on this site listens to while they cruise around. Personally I'm big hip hop fan & i loveee my bass. Lately you can catch me playin'

Gucci Mane - Certified G
Juelz Santana ft. Lil Wayne - Do the Damn thing
Gucci Mane ft. Jadakiss and Lil Wayne - Bingo (Kush remix)
Michael Mind - Show Me Love
Red Cafe ft. Drake - Your Way

[She_Prime]

I like a lot of top 40 stuff in my car. It's not my usual listening choice when I'm in other places but love it in the car.

Favourites to be noted:

Carryout- Timbaland ft Justin Timberlake
Run This Town- Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rihanna
Russian Roulette- Rihanna
Replay- Iyaz
In My Head- Jason DeRulo
Life After You- Daughtry
Whataya Want from Me- Adam Lambert

Any of those come on the radio (I have all of them on my iPhone too) and it's a rock out fest. I'm very glad I work in the Niagara Region- I won't be spotted by any of you on my way to work :chuckle

[Impressive]

I'm kinda glad I haven't gotten around to getting my 3 yet...I'd definitely getting booked by a few people on here after they drive past me and notice that I'm actually singing the songs in my car ahaha...Thank god Jetta's are even more common than 3's LMAO.


The first track I play in my new car will be
Gucci Mane - Hasta La Vista

[gabbygenier]

whatever is on my ipod. i have tons of diff music, all depends what kind of mood im in. and lately it sucks since my subs are blown haha

[Slade]

I can listen to anything when driving, I prefer something with some bass though...

Generally im spinning Jay-Z, Eminem, The Game, Snoop, 50 and so on....but I can also mix in AC/DC, The Who, and any new hits.

If I am in a rush on the road then I will put something like Brooklyn Bounce on...I always seem to drive a lot faster to this type of music :chuckle

[b.rabbit]

On most drives, I listen to 680News until I get tired of hearing the same news over and over again.
Sometimes I listen to the FAN590 if there's a game on (like Olympic hockey if I can't watch it).
On longer drives and drives that I need to keep myself awake, I listen to whatever's on my iPod.

[jaimie08mazda3]

Truthfully anything. I have 200+ CD's *and for people who have seen inside my car can vouch for that* And the Zune and whatever else I really feel like listening to. I rarely listen to the radio. For presets though 97.7, 102.1, 103.5, Y 108, 107.1, 107.5. Yeeeeea I have a wide variety that could go from Eminem, ACDC, Slayer, The Offspring, Styx, Obie Trice. Whatever really. I am that person who will listen to Du Hast at the loudest possible head banging and having old ladies look at me like I am retarded haha.
