These are the albums I always listen to when I have to drive a long distance, such as going from school (Auburn, AL) to home (Houston, TX), a trip that usually takes about twelve hours. I don't even have a CD player in my car, so I tape albums and try them out; if they don't work, they get taped over. These are the ones that have stood the test of time. Lucinda Williams and Exile on Main Street are going on three years on tape in my car, and show no signs of being replaced. What do others listen to regularly in their cars?
What's in my car varies from week to week, but One that I've found it great for driving is the soundtrack to Hackers
Haven't heard the soundtrack, but I do remember the music in Hackers was cool; but I saw it sooo long ago, I can't remember it.

Like to listen to various things. Clash are great driving music, also Sex Pistols, Pavement, Primal Scream more specifically XTRMTR, Guns N Roses, Hendrix Band of Gypsys, Foo Fighters, Rage Against the Machine and techno in general.
Clash, Pavement, and XTRMNTR I can attest to being cool. Haven't tried the others, but I might have to (Guns 'n' Roses sounds awesome).
