MY FAVOURITE CRUISIN' AND BOOMIN' SONGS

These are some of my favourite songs to cruise to at the moment, all chosen for their ability to shake stuff and still sound good. I am interested in hearing what you cruise to, and if I get any response could set up a competition to find the coolest cruisin' song of '98.

1> Any song by PRODIGY off FAT OF THE LAND, esp, MINDFIELDS or BREATHE, SMACK MY BITCH UP, FIRESTARTER - Is still not too dated.

2>DA FUNK by DAFT PUNK - has a wicked bass line and mid range that cranks more than anything, getting dated though.

3>STAY by SASH or EQUADOR - great chick songs, they will love ya.

4>BUSY CHILD by CHRYSTAL METHOD - off the new album VEGAS, bought it and love it, it's an almost hypnotising song when cranked fully.

5>BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE by MARILYN MANSON - for when you want a loud song with lots of midrange that sounds pretty hoody, for when you try to out staunch the guy next to ya.

6>THC WINTER by SALMONELLA DUB - New Zealand band, drum and bass with some serious BASS. When you just want to thump around town.

7>BLIND, by KORN in fact anything by Korn

8>I ALONE, LIGHTENING CRASHES, or most songs by LIVE off THROWING COPPER, for when you want a good soulfull song.

9>BORN SLIPPY by UNDERWORLD, great cruisin' song, laid back.

10>RAINBOWS IN THE SKY off RETRO TECHNO - nice BASSY QUICK song I am sure you will get addicted to.

11>SUMMERTIME by THE FRESH PRINCE - comes reccommended from Dan as a good song to cruise to with the windows down on a hot day. 12>TANYTHING by SUBLIME - the song of choice for Jared.
