- Nope, sorry, you're right off the mark. I listen to just about
- every kind of music (except for things from Star Wars-- I just listen
- to Holst and cut out the middle-man) and after extensive testing,
- I find that rock music is the best for driving.
-
- Namely, for long, contemplative drives, especially at night:
- "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd
- for scaring roadside woodland critters, whilest traveling at
- excessively high speed:
- Led Zeppelin IV
-
- Just my opinion-- but my opinions are right.
