Hate to admit it, but at this moment both the Backstreet Boys AND the Spice Girls are in my changer. I need help, I know.

I'm slowing down a little these days. CD changer regulars:<br>Rock: Rush, Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Skynard, varies...<br>Jazz: Yellowjackets, Marcus Miller Band, Rippingtons, SpyroGyra, Big band stuff<br>Classical: Definitely Bach, some Handel<br>Country: Junior Brown(funny w/ killer guitar licks), Nothing else here.<p>98.5 A4QMS2.8 Avant "Grocery Getter - as labelled by various BMW anonymous posts... I love it."

I first heard Orbital when I bought the Saint soundtrack (also a fav. disk). Orbital's "In Sides" double disk set is always disk 1&2 in my changer. I also like "The 5th Element" soundtrack.<p>I am not familiar with antiloop or Chrystal Meth (no good radiostations around here). How do they compare to Orbital?<p>Do you listen to Tangerine Dream, another fav. of mine?<p>Feel free to e-mail me and save the board a little bandwidth.<p>Robert Jordan<br>1.8t<br>

Sorry, have heard of both but not heard either.... I guess once I hit 40 I could only process so much music, but thanks for the references, I will see about checking them out.

I have strange taste that ranges from classical guitar (Adres Segova, John Williams, etc), love Mozart, Modonna, Older Metalica (Justice for All etc), Marilyn Manson etc.<p>But Black Sabbath and Ozzy with Randy Rhodes is some of the all time best rock & roll. Black Sabbath (Black Sabbath) and Led Zepplin II are the greatest albums of all time.

I have this keyboard in my passenger's seat (along side my laptop which dials in via cellular so I can check the A4.org).<p>I usually set the cruise control and drive with my knees and try not to spill my coffee all over the electronic components when I make sudden lane changes.<p>When my GF drives, she usually spends 50 percent of the time yapping on the cell phone WHILE putting on makeup and stuff like that.<p>It's only a 1.5-ton block of metal, rubber, plasic, leather, heading precariously down the road at 85MPH ...<p>:)<p>Chris Gröos
