What is your favorite music to listen to when cruising in the Giulia?

- I typically have SiriusXM set to "Chill" channel 53 about 80% of the time.

- On occasion, I listen to channel 33 "First Wave" during the day and then channel 51 "BPM" late at night.

- Past week I have been playing some music off my phone like...

Josh Butler - Got A Feeling (Bontan Remix)

 

[Alfa in Vegas]

I flip around on SiriusXM between 80's, EDM, and Studio 54 channel. Now where it's gets eclectic, my iTunes! Windows down, sunroof open and radio up!

- Anaconda, Nicki Minaj
- Cake by the Ocean, DNCE
- Downtown, Macklemore & Lewis
- California Dreamin, Sia
- Only the Young, Journey
- You Don't Own Me, Grace feat G-Easy
- Wasted Time, Keith Urban

I think you get the picture. I work in radio, so I have a varied taste (and also spend time listening to the stations I am on)

Very Cool!

I use Spotify Premium when I don't have the radio on. I am all over the place with music too...like the other day, I was listening to Crystal Castles (Alice Glass days)!

I travel to Vegas a lot...I have a bunch of "Trader" friends out in Vegas and I used to have a home in The Lakes off West Sahara.

On SiriusXM I pretty much stick with Alt Nation, occasionally EDM/Chill too!

However most of the time I use Spotify from my phone and listen to whatever I have at the moment. Interpol is my all time favorite, but recently I'm a little obsessed with some smaller foreign acts like Pastel Ghost and The Fin. (these songs are crazy good for night driving...)

Other stuff I like to listen to when driving include M83, Tame Impala, Silversun Pickups, Beach House, Royksopp, CHVRCHES (daughter's favorite). You get the picture, it's all over the place too

The Lakes is a great place to live...perfect location. I stay in Rancho Bel Air when I go to Vegas these days...staying at my relatives place.

I am actually going to be in Vegas this upcoming weekend...any Cars & Coffee event taking place?

"Pastel Ghost" Very cool...I am going to check them out!

I have to admit, I LOVED the movie "Drive" from back in 2011 and I listen to a MIX version of that soundtrack when cruising at night sometimes...

Awesome... I found the Drive OST playlist on Spotify too. Added to my collection

How about New Order - Substance. Amazing with the Harmon Karden system. Also any Mozart piano concerto...

Yes indeed...I was also a huge fan of Joy Division and The Smith's back in the 80's.

(I graduated Prior Lake HS in 1982)

New Order is great! I'm very young in the 80's so I guess my taste was influenced by my parents; they listen to new wave nonstop. Love Eurythmics too.

I got really hooked on New Wave in college from 1982 to 1985 while attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. If I could go back in time to those days...OMG it would be AMAZING!!!

My general taste is towards electronica which I use as an "umbrella" term since it can include DJs (Richard Durand, Above & Beyond, Tritonal, Aly & Fila, etc), New Wave (Depeche Mode, Erasure, Camouflage, New Order, T42, Cause & Effect, Neuropa, Iris, etc.), Industrial (Front 242, Front Line Assembly, Ministry, VNV Nation, Apop Berzerk, etc,) and Pop EDM (Tov Lo, Lorde, Justin Timberlake, etc.). I also love a lot of "alternative" - gawd I hate that term - music new and old: Morrissey, The Smiths, Keane, Tom Chaplin, Silversun Pickups, The Sundays, Cranberries, etc.) Grew up in the 80s so I love all that music as well.....really too much to list in this decade! I pretty much make my own playlists and listen to my USBs folder/albums.

Finally got music loaded onto a USB last night and listened to what has become my "suite" for new cars. Some of them are left over from my days selling audio equipment.
• Steely Dan, Aja, "Black Cow" and "Aja"
• Eric Clapton, August, "Run"
• Rolling Stones, Undercover, "Undercover of the Night"
• Purple Sound Music (Jacques Alexander Blackstone), Banff Mountain Film Festival Theme
• AWOLNation, Megalithic Symphony, "Sail"
• Claude Debussy, "Clair de Lune"
I am now more impressed with the Harman-Kardon system. I look forward to hearing more of my diverse collection over the coming years.

For a modern run at the 80's "sound" try out Black Marble! (Dark Wave)

XM stinks so much....
1. lineup is terrible
2. stream quality just below any standards

I prefer USB stick or streaming over USB/phone or worst case Bluetooth (still better than XM)

 

[Chipshot]

Satellite radio quality seems suitable for news/talk. I don't bother with streaming for music.

 

[superukr]

Agreed
With current 4G/LTE coverage listen to XM is a crime, any streaming service is better, even 64k AAC radio streams.

 

[FX_Hedge]

SiriusXM is marginal at best...I agree.

I am not sure if SiriusXM could ever be of high quality under their current method of service.
