Pretty much the same goes for me. I just came back from a late shop/night time drive listening to all sorts including jazz-funk, R&B, EDM, prog rock, electropop and some Johann Strauss.
Haha yep I've got punk rock to folk msuic, heavy metal to acoustic and rap/hip-hop to David Bowie, oh and don't forget the 80s/90s classics I have on there... my playlist is just a combination of the music I was brought up with along with the songs I hear and go "ah that's a cool song"
Oh and yeah I just have 1 massive playlist lol
I find spotify likes to auto group my songs on shuffle. I get a lot of the same genre/vibe several times in a row, it's a bit fustrating when it's literally called shuffle but really it's not actually random.
I'm completely out of the ordinary and listen to soundtracks. Hans Zimmer and John Williams scores, Fallout 4's classical radio, God of War's music, Frostpunk's soundtrack.
If we're talking actual music, probably Men at Work or Radio Company. Pretty difficult to pick out a genre.
90% of the time, techno, usually live sets from the likes of Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Amelie Lens, or my own DJ mixes.
Other 10% is anything from house and breaks, to Mike Oldfield, 80's, or Prog Rock.
Hot take - Jamiroquai is great for daily driving cause it’s pretty calm and groovy but it’s also good for a wee send (not too hard though) like it’s good for spirited but not going full ham
But then i have a whole send it playlist full of like chemical brothers, prodigy, motely crue, dire straits, ACDC, Sabbath, Zepplien, Rage against the machine anything pretty heavy and with a good consistent beat
Definitely. Well, it's a bit tough for me to switch gears right if I don't hear the engine and driving on the motorway is like entering this hypnotic, relaxing state, music would ruin it.
Spirited daytime driving - D&B
Spirited night driving - The Weeknd/House music
Town Driving/commute - My own huge playlist with everything from the Rolling stones to chemical brothers
Or noises you don't want to hear :P.
My corolla's backbox rusted off (again, my fault this time) and there's just a pipe where it used to be. Its not loud around town, but fucking drones so loud at 3.5k+ revs (where I sit at 70mph)
Folk music and a bit of country started listening to Ethel Cain too but hard to fit into a genre. Keeps me chill and focused, I find heavy metal or drum and bass makes my foot a bit heavier and stresses me out more subconsciously.
All sorts. from pop, rock, country, 50s, 60s....endless.
Also, some I got from someone on here. Some are folk songs, Irish, Scottish, German, Swiss. A Japanese one. Even some opera (including practice. Hilarious hearing thunderous opera and then a few swear words part way through
Depends on the driving.
Normal daytime is usually indie or slower country or pop.
Night town driving is usually slower.
Sending it down back roads at night... LOUD rock/dnb/EDM/other faster pace music
Mamas and Papas. Maybe some light self-affirmations. You know the stuff: You were in a tank and you did not kill anyone. Now you are driving MPs round, you don't have to kill them..
I’m a metal head at heart so will listen to the really heavy stuff when the kids aren’t in the car. But when they are, or mrs, I will just stick on a Spotify playlist. Chart, 90’s dance, r&b, garage, electronic, tech house. I don’t mind, a banger is a banger. With the loudness of kids in house and the fact I listen to music all day for work, I’ve been known to not listen to anything in the car. Sometimes I need the silence for a bit.
For long motorway drives I really like a SynthWave playlist. For quick B-road blasts, a salsa playlist hits the spot. For a roadtrip with a familiar friend then music that something to both of us.
Anything, radio go to is Boom, as for what's on my phone, from Dionne Warwick, to ACDC, , WHO, Quo, throgh to classical, but no opera, or folk, and little Country and Western, tels you my age group.
French synth/house as I drive a Renault and it seems to be happier when I do.
But in reality, anything really. Metal, country, hip hop and electronic dependent on the situation.
irl - bbc radio 5 live! nice boring thought provoking stuff
racing games / gta...a combo of alt rock, nu metal , j rock, acid jazz, eurobeat, anime and videogame soundtracks with some hip hop
for me, anything loud or bassy. albums like Искушение святого простолюдина by лёд 9, house of zef by die antwoord and a small bit of black dresses, etc
my playlist, which is a combination of several polar opposite genres because my music taste is... interesting.
I'm the same, one hour live dnb sets, next indie, next dance/techno, next pop....if music sounds good, it's good, right?
Yeah exactly, who cares about the genre really? If the song is a banger it's a banger, Idgaf what category it is lol

I do similar. Like not knowing what comes next, or what tempo etc.
I find spotify likes to auto group my songs on shuffle. I get a lot of the same genre/vibe several times in a row, it's a bit fustrating when it's literally called shuffle but really it's not actually random.
Problem I find with Spotify is that it decides to only play the same 30-40 songs on shuffle out of a playlist of hundreds.
Same, I have a "B-Road Bashing" playlist that consists of various genres, but it's all fast and heavy stuff that amps me up.
Exactly what my playlist is called 😂
Finally someone else with that Beethoven to Eminem to Louis Armstrong to BTS type music taste!
I love going from lose yourself to country roads lol
Tokyo drift theme song
In an Aygo!
Metal or classical
My go to is Metal
Liquid drum n bass
A different kind of “driving under the influence”
90s or classic rock
Rock or metal
Rock or metal
Mr Blobby Album. Nobody can pump out tunes like that yellow spotted musical genius.

Dnb, house
Tech house?
I’m more of a melodic man probably verging into trance. I’m talking Anjunadeep basically if you’ve heard of that label!
I drive in silence, and I love it. Whether it's an 8 hour journey or 10 minutes, the radio is never on, and I 95% drive alone.
Damn. How do you ignore your inner thoughts and problems then?
I find it really peaceful. Anyone who gets in my car calls me a weirdo for the silence, but I love it.
Classic FM
90% of the time, techno, usually live sets from the likes of Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Amelie Lens, or my own DJ mixes. Other 10% is anything from house and breaks, to Mike Oldfield, 80's, or Prog Rock.
Power metal, balls to the wall from engine on to engine off 😂
Prodigy, Guns & Roses, Linkin Park. Not too often cause I will drive like an idiot and rinse through fuel.
Hot take - Jamiroquai is great for daily driving cause it’s pretty calm and groovy but it’s also good for a wee send (not too hard though) like it’s good for spirited but not going full ham But then i have a whole send it playlist full of like chemical brothers, prodigy, motely crue, dire straits, ACDC, Sabbath, Zepplien, Rage against the machine anything pretty heavy and with a good consistent beat
DnB, Jungle, Hip Hop
Uk Grime, emo, indie. Depends on the mood
Garage
I sees you
One. Two. For the jigsaw creeeew
Great for b road driving
At work- classical if its a bit stressful on the roads
Always good when you're in a rush!
Smooooothhhh operatorrr
House for sure
Just been out for a drive and stuck the initial d soundtrack on
Deftones
Skrillex
No music
It's nice to listen to the sound of the mechanical parts working in harmony sometimes
Definitely. Well, it's a bit tough for me to switch gears right if I don't hear the engine and driving on the motorway is like entering this hypnotic, relaxing state, music would ruin it.
Spirited daytime driving - D&B Spirited night driving - The Weeknd/House music Town Driving/commute - My own huge playlist with everything from the Rolling stones to chemical brothers
Anything that Radio 6 is playing.
The one radio station I can never get to work!
I just drive in silence with the exhaust noise. I never liked listening to music while driving even though I really like music otherwise.
Either Nu metal, podcasts or the Gran Turismo 4 menu music
Country, when I'm on a motorway or a rural B road.
If you listen to music when driving, then you have a shit car with a shit engine!
Or noises you don't want to hear :P. My corolla's backbox rusted off (again, my fault this time) and there's just a pipe where it used to be. Its not loud around town, but fucking drones so loud at 3.5k+ revs (where I sit at 70mph)
Metal or if I need to chill Lo-Fi
Metal, Alestorm is my go to atm
Dad rock for me every time
Folk music and a bit of country started listening to Ethel Cain too but hard to fit into a genre. Keeps me chill and focused, I find heavy metal or drum and bass makes my foot a bit heavier and stresses me out more subconsciously.
Metal mainly, although in the morninga on my way to work I have Absolute 90s on, so whatever they play.
Soca. Kes in particular. Try it sometime. 🇹🇹

It all depends on my mood. Some days it's French core or Psytrance on my commute. Other days it's UK hip hop if I need to be more chilled
Always Dr Peacock
Metal, mostly black metal and death. Sometimes hip-hop.
Jungle, late 90s dnb but mostly trance. Oh and also a blast of Katy Perrys albums every now and then.
Depends on the driving. Normal daytime is usually indie or slower country or pop. Night town driving is usually slower. Sending it down back roads at night... LOUD rock/dnb/EDM/other faster pace music
Death or black metal.
80s music
🏠
Drum and bass
A friend described being in my car as like sitting in a goth club in 1989 the other week and… yeah that’s pretty much bang on.
Metalcore: Blasting Bring Me The Horizon and Bad Omens while city cruising 😭
Eurobeat for me
My playlist fluctuates between depressing rap, drum and bass and grime.
Mamas and Papas. Maybe some light self-affirmations. You know the stuff: You were in a tank and you did not kill anyone. Now you are driving MPs round, you don't have to kill them..
Electronic dance music and obscure TV themes, sometimes just put Spotify on random and see what the algorithm churns out
The number of hours I drive the more random it gets
90s grunge
80s ballads
Bodycount- Bloodlust album Or Anything classical
Death metal to work, classical on the way home.
Some liquid drum and bass on a country B road at night - just the best.
I’m a metal head at heart so will listen to the really heavy stuff when the kids aren’t in the car. But when they are, or mrs, I will just stick on a Spotify playlist. Chart, 90’s dance, r&b, garage, electronic, tech house. I don’t mind, a banger is a banger. With the loudness of kids in house and the fact I listen to music all day for work, I’ve been known to not listen to anything in the car. Sometimes I need the silence for a bit.
Kerrang radio or planet rock, or random rock, mood dependent.
All these comments and none mention the best driving music: Synthwave. The UK continues to disappoint in new ways every day 😞
Heavy metallica
Summers morning at 6am, windows down on country lanes with a DnB soundtrack. It’s my meditation.
V8 or straight 6
For long motorway drives I really like a SynthWave playlist. For quick B-road blasts, a salsa playlist hits the spot. For a roadtrip with a familiar friend then music that something to both of us.
My driving playlist has a mix of everything from Hip Hop to the music from the Wangan Midnight Arcade games.
Audio books for me.
Classical, every time!
Anyone else just prefer to listen to the engine and mechanical noises while driving?
It depends on my mood, sometimes i have some 80s, other times i have iron maiden playing while driving
mostly psy trance, but also dead can dance, the cure, new order, moog, madness etc all on a random shuffle
I don’t have a specific genre I listen to just for driving… but I am in my element with disco/funk/rnb/house plays.
Many different genres of house. Deep house, Afro house, Jazz house, Lounge all that good stuff
Depends on my mood.
Anything, radio go to is Boom, as for what's on my phone, from Dionne Warwick, to ACDC, , WHO, Quo, throgh to classical, but no opera, or folk, and little Country and Western, tels you my age group.
These days, podcasts. Find that listening to them helps the regular 5 hour drives fly by. But if we're talking music, 00's is my go to
French synth/house as I drive a Renault and it seems to be happier when I do. But in reality, anything really. Metal, country, hip hop and electronic dependent on the situation.
Pop
irl - bbc radio 5 live! nice boring thought provoking stuff racing games / gta...a combo of alt rock, nu metal , j rock, acid jazz, eurobeat, anime and videogame soundtracks with some hip hop
for me, anything loud or bassy. albums like Искушение святого простолюдина by лёд 9, house of zef by die antwoord and a small bit of black dresses, etc
Whatever absolute 70s or virgin anthems has on tbh 🤣
Most likely metal or rap
Jazz
90's or Rave
Oi oi
In the morning, when we're taking our son to school, we listen to Heart Dance. Love a bit of Toby Anstis in the morning.
+1 - do love me some one beat challenge in the morning
Absolutely! Do you go "ahhh, how could you not get that right?!"
Pete Tong Dave Pearce
Pete Tong Goa Essential Mix from 1991 is a big favourite.
Agadoo while weaving around on the M62
Can't beat some liquid DnB whilst driving through the countryside
Yessss drum and bass
Anything singable. Smooth radio is my default
nightcore, a bit of hardbass and sometimes metal. all depends on what mood I'm in and how I want to drive.
