Classical music to blast from your car speakers

Hey, is Queen considered classical music yet? If so, always keep a CD with the Bicycle Song queued up on it in your car stereo, when you see someone riding a bike on the side of the road, drop the windows, hit play, and crank it up as you go past the cool bike dude.

I want to ridemy BICYCLE!! BICYCLE!!! BICYCLE!!!

It’s Widor with an umlaut over the i, and I couldn’t be arsed to look up the alt-code keystroke, hence the fussy e as I believe the umlaut stands in for an elided e. But I could be wrong.

American Pie.

Hey, it’s a classic, right?

Hosanna from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem.

Beethoven’s Symphony No 9, especially the 4th movement. There’s something empowering about cruising down the highway singing in German at the top of one’s lungs.

The Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor.
The Toreador Song from Carmen.

Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” - especially, the movement called “The Great Gates of Kiev”

Emerson, Lake and Palmer have a great version of it, too :slight_smile:

Olive

Amen! ;j

wow, i think nearly all my favorites have already been named – Wagner, Enesco, 1812, Pictures at an Exhibition, Funeral March for a Marionette

how about a road trip :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

oh, wait! i remember another one now – Light Cavalry Overture. it’s wonderful to blast from the speakers, and even better to sing during a good canter on horseback. :slight_smile:

If you could stand going out into left field a little, I’d think “Switched On Bach” would be a good candidate for playing really loud, too.

Good luck finding it, though. Maybe a download from somewhere, then burn it to a CD.

For HItchcock fans, Gounod’s “Funeral March for a Marionette”.
“Flight of the Bumblebee” would also work fo an AMC Hornet, I gues.

I did that today! Amusing watching the people first look at you weird, then look hungry.
Fanfare for the Common Man is fun too.
