Music to get speeding tickets by...
one of the advantages to be a department director is that i may use a personal vehicle to drive to and from job sites...i have a survey project near Susanville CA and since there is a shortage of company trucks, i decided to take mine...of course, my POV has a CD player and since the drive is 2 hours, one way, i brought along a couple of CDs...anyway, LaGrange by ZZ Top is playing, i'm flying down the road at 0630 (that's 6:30 AM, FS) and fly by a rest area with several cars parked there...i was probably doing about 85 in a 65....maybe more, maybe less...probably more...anyway, it seems the cars parked at the rest area was a coffee clatch of the CHP...i noticed red and blue lights flashing in the rear view mirror...i pulled over, the cop walked up, asked for license, registration, insurance paperwork...and of course, asked me what the hurry was...i told him no hurry, was just listening to ZZ Top and keeping tempo with the tunes...he laughed, asked me which song, i turned it up and we spent a few minutes exchanging pleasantries...he ran my license, came back and we shot the bull another five or ten minutes about songs not to listen to while driving by four state troopers at a rest area....the top five we came up with (reflecting our age, i'm sure)
1. LaGrange
2. Street Fighting Man
3. Run through the Jungle
4. Radar Love (his pick, not mine...)
5. Gimme Shelter...
he told me to slow it down...i told him i was glad i didn't have a CD player on my bike...
BTW, no ticket, not much of a warning...and some advise as to when the CHP looks for speeders along that stretch of road (it seems the school busses start rolling around 7 AM)

lksteve, please permit me to help you broaden and update your horizons. I only listen to new music when my friends tell me to, and this was a great recommendation:
Try Betty Blowtorch. Seriously incredible lyrics. Definitely speeding tunes. Things I might *think* but am too kind and shy to say. No, really  !!!

Sammy Hagar "Can't drive 55"?
I know there must be a one or two by Frank Marino, Hendrix or Ted Nugent.

I'll have to go with:
1)Paint it Black by the Stones
2)Going To California by Zeppelin
3)Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden
4) My Hero by the Foo Fighters
5)Ramble and Roll by Dropkick Murphys.
Although I think that if I ever get pulled over listening to any of them and say the same thing that Steve did, the likelyhood is the cop would think I'm giving him attitude. Guess thats what I get for being a college student.

Jimmy Hendrix...All Along the Watch Tower
Stevie Ray Vaughan...pretty much all his stuff
Steppenwolf...Born to be Wild
The Guess Who....American Woman (and to add Lenny Karvitz's version)
To the stuff that came outta the 80's 
Van Halen...I and II and Diver Down
AC/DC...The whole Highway to Hell and Back in Black CDs
The Fabolus T-birds....Tough Enough
Mettalica....And Justice for All
Velvet Crush...Pure Energy (yeah I know it's a silly Techno song...but trust me...the miles just fly by)
To the 90's and beyond
Metallica....Black album, Load, Reload, (esp Fuel)
A Perfect Circle
NIN....you know the one
Tool
Kenny Wyane Sheppard....that kid is Stevie reborn.
That's just a start.

I don't know how I could possibly omit this album. States probably shouldn't allow it to be played in motor vehicles.

How about holiday music to get a speeding ticket by.
Anyone heard the Trans-Siberian Orchestra? Wow!
Check out Christmas Eve in Sarajevo - actually all of then are amazing:
http://www.trans-siberian.com/multimedia/index.shtml
Here someone did their Chirstmas lights synched up with TSO's Wizards in Winter. Amazing light show.

Enjoy and happy holidays.

Classic Rock
How about :
Steppenwolf-Magic Carpet Ride
Aerosmith-Sweet Emotion
Foghat-Slow Ride
Ted Nugent-Free For All
Nazareth-Hair of the Dog
Stevie Ray Vaughn-The House is Rockin'
Led Zeppelin-Over the Hills and Far Away (I would be surprised if anyone has ever heard this as it is the only single they ever released. It was on the back of the 45 release of The Immigrant Song.)
Def Lepard-Pour Some Sugar On Me, Hysteria, Animal (Great rucking beat. Trained for selection listening to these guys!)
Deep Purple-Highway Star and Burn
Black Sabbath-War Pigs
And of course and all time favorite........Chuck Berry-Riding Along in My Automobile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I will stop now! I got a little carried away!
