I have some CDs loaded with hard rock stuff in my car. You know, the sort of
stuff they play in films when the man character enters a road bar full of Hell
Angels. Right now I am burning through Krokus, which is an ACDC-like thing.

Sometimes I go deeper into melodic stuff and play some of Mike Oldfields most
melodic works. Or play something from Rhapsody or Turilli because I feel like
listening how some Archangel beats Lucipher's ass with a shinning sword.

Most people nowadays have better soundsystems in their cars than at home. My
car soundsystem is nothing special but it is still good enough that it pays to
play deep music. Try playing one of Turilli's latter albums on one of those 60
bucks speakers kids are using nowadays and you will cry when you realize what
the speaker is doing to it. Thankfully I don't have that issue with my car.
