I'm sure there are a few I forgot, especially in the funk and jazz veins, but you get the idea. I like to mix it up.

I don't listen to classical music in the car because the dynamic range is too wide for the environment. So I generally tend to stick with recordings/artists/genres that are pretty stable in terms of dynamics.

I really like your choice from The Fixx - that's one I haven't heard in a while

That entire album Shuttered Room is kick-ass.

On a different note, here's a few more that made my D-playlist:

Lots of Great bands listed!

One that I've always liked I haven't seen mentioned here. (Maybe I've got Weird taste in music)?



Not just this song but nearly everything they did.

I met Greg several times back when I used to work in radio - nicest guy and a big car nut. Never met David Glen Eisley, but always wanted to. House of Lords isn't too bad, and while I like James Christian, he's no DGE IMHO.

On a constant loop.
