Since I recently finally passed my driving test  For those who do drive or have driven, what albums or artists do you most enjoy listening to when you're on the road? Do you mostly listen to the radio? Or do you prefer silence? |

During my commutes - usually the radio (Heart) so I can listen out for traffic reports. The downside is listening to endless Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles or Lewis Capaldi (what seems like) every hour.
Otherwise I listen to something upbeat and non-chill, so I don't become too relaxed whilst driving, especially on a quiet motorway. Far different to my "public transport" music, which is a mixture of both chill and non-chill stuff.
As I've only been driving coming up to a year (as of next week), I haven't quite perfected a decent car playlist just yet.

Sing-a-long rock classics are great when you're on your own in the car. Or power ballads!

I used to listen to Absolute Radio as it was the only decent FM or AM station I could get but it's not on AM anymore. I listen to stuff through my phone in the car more now - usually one of my Spotify playlists or sometimes Retro Charts Radio. If I'm in a rush, I sometimes just put on Greatest Hits Radio through the car stereo.

Driving to work I usually have 6 Music on as it's a good uplifting mix with Lauren Laverne in the morning, and Craig Charles on the way home.
Longer journeys, I usually stick a playlist on random, be it 2023, or 1960s, but I also sometimes just choose an artist and get it to play me all their tracks randomly, Kasabian and Metric being the two most recent ones.
Other times I stack up the new release albums and play them.
Got me thinking what I'm going to play tomorrow on the way to Mansfield now...
