Post your top 10 song you listen to while racing

In no specific order, but top ten for sure:

Up Around the Bend- Creedence Clearwater Revival
Susie Q- Creedence Clearwater Revival
Rockin' in the Free World- Neil Young
Dying Degree- NOFX
Leave it Alone- NOFX
The Decline- NOFX
Ride the Lightning- Metallica
I Want to Conquer the World- Bad Religion
Shattered Faith- Bad Religion
Punk Song- Bad Religion

I've been meaning to get a cover band going called The Decline that only plays "The Decline." Looking for a bassist, guitarist, and drummer (or two). And a singer.
 
As much as I love music, I don't like to listen to music while doing proper racing, as in online matches or time trials.
The sounds of road noise/engine/tyres even though most don't sound that great, they are important for me to understand what is going on with the car on the track, changing gears, loss of traction, etc.

That being said, I like to listen to my music when I play vs the A.I. offline. And for that I usually listen to club-house/rave/DnB or electro-pop-rock, depending on my mood.

And since Ferrari458Italia didn't mention what was the name of that great DnB song from the Ferrari 458 Italia - Gran Turismo 5 Trailer, for anyone wondering, it's called: "London Elektricity - Just One Second (Apex Remix)".


Oh man, that was easily my favourite track from GT5 👍

Well very few people will have actually heard half of my ones, but still...

I'll mark the ones I'll be surprised if anyone knows with a * :P

Threshold - This is your Life *
Edguy - Breathe *
Dio - Stand up and Shout
Dream Theater - Just Let Me Breathe
Edguy - Out of Vogue *
Edguy - Spooks in the Attic *
Guns N' Roses - Don't Damn Me
Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man
Judas Priest - Heading out to the Highway
Unisonic - Star Rider *

(In no particular Order)

I could have just kept on listing songs, but then we'd be here far too long and everyone would die of absolute boredom. No really, that's (sort of) happened before. I found a little village, and when I woke up in the morning (after some decent conversation the night before), everyone in the village had all fled because I was so boring... Oh well, apparently they got eaten by crocodiles or something.
 
If I could, I would show all 114 driving tracks I race to. So instead I'll just pick 10 random tracks. :sly:

Rush - The Seeker (cover version)
Manchester Orchestra - I've Got Friends
The Hives - Hate to say I told you so
Lost Prophets - Can't Catch Tomorrow (yes I know :rolleyes:)
SwitchFoot - The Sound
Muse - Stockholm Syndrome
The Hot Melts - Edith ( the next 3 are YouTube mash-ups)
Stayin Alive in The Wall ( Bee Gees vs Pink Floyd )
Sad but Superstitious ( Stevie Wonder vs Metallica )
Queen vs AC DC vs Faith No More ( Queen's We Will Rock You, AC DC's Back in Black and Faith No More's Epic.)

All that is barely scratching the surface of what songs I race with.;)

Nice songs. But I'm gonna surprise you! Edguy isn't really unknown. 16.000.000 scrobbles on last.fm :P I don't know any of their songs, but I know that I don't like their style of music. Dream Theater, Threshold, Judas Priest and Dio I like very much :D

Well they're unknown in my country at least. Probably because neither Edguy or Avantasia have ever been to New Zealand. I like your musical tastes if you like DT, Threshold, and Judas Priest though. 👍

Hah.. Everything is unknown in Denmark. We rarely have major metal artists playing here :( Only Metallica visits regularly, because of Lars Ulrich being Danish..

My "driving albums" are listed in post #25 :P Couldn't pick any songs, because I just play the albums on my computer.
 
I'm just playing pretty much all the PUSA I can find (using the audio cable connected to my iPod), but there's others in the top, too.

1). Mach 5 - PUSA
2). Kick ou the Jams (Cover) - PUSA
3). Ghosts Are Everywhere - PUSA
4). Dune Buggy - PUSA
5). Around The World - Red Hot Chili Peppers
6). Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers
7). Kitty - PUSA
8). Peaches - PUSA
9). The Kids Aren't Alright - The Offspring
10).Sick Sad Little World - Incubus


Now, I don't have the song, but I'd highly recommend "End of Days pt. 2" for an endurance race, specifically near the end, and/or in the middle of the night night.
 
Like in gt5 i have 2 distinct music playlists. One for the menu with cool relax popular songs, and one for racing, with dance/top40/iconic racing games tracks:

1- Top Gear (snes) track1
2- Timber (pitbull & Ke$ha)
3- Hey Brother (Avicii)
And some others...
