I'm off of work, what should I listen to?

Ok, I'm finally offf of work and I now get to make my 45 minute commute from the Inland Empire to the San Gabriel Valley. Which made me think of this question...

What's your favorite music to listen & unwind to on the long drive home?

I think today, I will mellow out to the sweet sounds of some contemporary Sonic Youth.

It all depends on what kind of day I had.

If I'm wound up and feeling agressive then Lamb of God, Dimmu Borgir, Pantera, Slayer, or something else heavy. If I'm feeling calm relaxed, not so stressed then Bob Marley, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, Keller Williams, James Brown, etc.

If you can get your hands on some Telegenetic, I find it to be a sweet (albeit bizarre) soundtrack for road.

I heard Turn It On Again today, so I currently recommend listening to Duke by Genesis. Good travelling music.

Eventhough it appears you left for work yesterday.

Bon Iver, The Flashbulb, Blackfield, and Emilie Autumn are among my favorites when I'm looking for something mellow.

Miles Davis was the last CD in my Truck - I am listening to the sound track for Standing in the Shadows now.

When I take my motorcycle I use the iPod and it is loaded with all kinds of Music. I just put it on random play and go.

Set the dial to 100.3. If you like rock, they play some "deep cut" classic album tracks rather than the same three songs ad nauseum, plus newer stuff like Kings of Leon.

Girl Talk. I can leave it on and just drive.

I also like the Los Straitjackets for peaceful driving.

I built my Myspace profile playlist pretty much around the desire to have a really relaxed playlist. It's a combination of primarily ska and oldschool rock (with a couple of exceptions), which seems odd at first, but I personally love the way it flows together.

Schizophrenia by Sonic Youth
Notre Devoir by Intik
Crystal 52 by Jeffries Fan Club
I'm No Different by Westbound Train
Listen To The Music by The Doobie Brothers
Can't Find My Way Home by Blind Faith

The Rascal King by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Baja by The Duo Tones
