This comes up all the time, “what’s the best driving mix/cd/playlist?” Following is my “ultimate driving mix.” It’s pretty eclectic, rap, indie, oldies, rock, pseudo-country, etc. Pretty much everything but techno/trance. Most of you will probably despise the majority of the songs that made it into my ultimate playlist but I don’t care… I am the one footing the hosting and domain bills. After the jump you will see the full listing and a link to the song (if I can find one) and if you venture over to the forum you can submit your own ultimate driving mix.
