There are some great cuts you have listed but only one REAL Chevy truck song stands out......LIKE A ROCK...Bob Seeger!

chevyboy55 · 05-18-2005, 04:41 PM

Pink Floyd (the best concert ever!!!)
AC/DC

Led Zepplin
Bob Marley
Clapton
Anything but cowboy music (sorry to those who like it,I just never could figgure it out)

75-K5 · 05-18-2005, 05:44 PM

Charlie Daniels, Allman Brothers, CCR, basically anything southern goes well with driving old pickups I think.

cliffsta · 05-18-2005, 05:47 PM

Alabama or lynyrd skynyrd. any rock or country is good.

saulgoode · 05-18-2005, 06:11 PM

My recipe:
Take Waylon live double album, the essential willie nelson double disk, a Robert Earl Keen live, and throw in Pat Green Live, put all in 6 disck changer, hit shuffle and drive.

justin_yz426 · 05-18-2005, 10:13 PM

Some old country.

lukecp · 05-18-2005, 10:24 PM

I always lisetned to rock/metal back when mine had a CD player in it and i drove it...everything from Incubus (lighter albums like Morning View) to Chimaria.

Now i always get weird looks driving around in my compact car blaring Atreyu, Underoath, or nu-metal bands like Skrape, Sloth, and Professional Murder Music

armyavncowgirl · 05-18-2005, 10:29 PM

i would have to say Pink Floyd or ZZ Top and the like. Janis Joplin is another I like, as well as Joan Jett (she was just here at Ft. Hood last week----STILL sounds great and has more energy than most half her age lol)

uncle_handsome · 05-18-2005, 11:32 PM

For a really old truck like from the 30's, 40's and 50's I think the perfect music would be old country (60's and earlier) and old rock. (Beach Boys and older)
Especially old songs about drag racing!

apachegoddess · 05-19-2005, 12:57 AM

It all depends on the mood and what Im doing. If Im cruising, wrenching on my truck, or jus sitting on the tailgate, taking it easy. It differs, I like all sorts of music but my fav would be anything from

Johnny Cash to
Hank Sr. (with a cold 6 pack) to
Rage Against the Machine to
Tool to
Pink Floyd to
Led Zeppelin to
Outkast, even.

It jus depends.

Yes I am kidding. After all its in my name.

If im hunting, I like country tunes
If I cruising, classic rock is fine.
If I am acting my age, talk radio is the ticket.

No RAP in my rigs.

Good ole country songs----- like "If you are not No. 1 with me---then No.2 on you!"; "When banana skins start fallin'; I'll come sliding back to you" and the old classic"There's tears in my ears, from lying on my back in my bed, cryin' over you"

justin_yz426 · 05-19-2005, 03:50 AM

"There's a tear in my beer. And i'm cryin for ya dear, you are on my lonesome mind"

"A white sport coat and a pink carnation"
