GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Why the 1st week? Because most of us woulld get out our special music for our special new car. For me it was a matter of playing what was also appropriate for my daily drive to work racing along the SanAndreas fault out here in calif.(see my post"The daily Vibe drive".)"Rush" has been my favorite rock band since highschool.Whose name seems to be a a mandate for me as i drive the Vibe . As I sped along the faultline that 1st week or so, Their songs like "Driven" and especially "Red Barchetta" were carefully and appropriately cued up as I flew along the faultline over 110mph!"...I stripp away the old debri that hides the shiny car, a brilliant red Barcchetta from a better vanished time.I fire up the willing engine responding with a roar. Tires spitting gravel I comitt my weekely crime!Wind in my hair, shifting and drifting,mechanical music, adrenaline surge!Well weathered leather, hot metal and oil,the scent of country air. Sun light on chrome, the blurr of the landscape,every nerve aware!..."It cant be more perfect for my ears."Rush" is the vibe in my Vibe. How about you and yours?Good vibrations Faultline

The week before I got my Vibe, I made a CD of music for it! First song I played was by Dirty Vegas.

Believe it or not...it was the remix of "I love myself today" by Bif Naked that you heard on the GM Overdrive commercials. She gets my motor running...

Pink - Get the party started

At that time I just got a new LINKIN PARK, Hybrid Theory. I listen to this CD every day, all 12 tunes are great. It is now on my top five list, this list has been going on since 1974.

quote:STEELY DAN !!!!! "The Greatest Hits CD" Really broke in the sound system. I've always thought of Steely Dan as 'house music'. Nice music, just not for the car. Just my opinion.

Judas Priest - British Steel (remastered)(this was the CD I brought with me the night I took delivery. "Pounding the world... like a battering RAM!")After that, I played Dead Kennedys' "Plastic Surgery Disasters," then tested some homemade reggae tunes of mine (for bass response).I played "Ride The Lightning" and really, really wished for the out-of-print remastered version. Don't remember much else...

I have had my vibe for 4 months now, and the only cd's i have ever played and will ever play is anything by the Insane Clown Posse.

for me its dmx...ja rule...eminem...fast and the furious sound track...played all loud....and loving it....

Contrary to my nick and avatar I have not played any songs by the king. Ive mostly played trance and dance, and especially made sure I had a track called "scent of a rose" by 303 infiniti. I heard this track on one of the vibe websites when they use to have a webcast of a station called theiceburg.com when I was first looking at the vibe in june and made sure it was one of the first played in the cd player when i picked it up. Depeche mode will be next on the list since I have the car home now.

i right away loaded 6 disks of nothing but Dream Theater. nothing like listening to amazing musicians while driving an awesome vehicle. Then the new Rush album when it came out was next.

Some U2 and also some Crystal Method

Just in case this thread peters out before my Vibe arrives ( ), the album I *will* be playing when I drive off the lot will be Diane Schuur "Pure Schuur", track 1, "Nobody Does Me". Great dynamic range, from quiet introspection at intro and fadeout, to really belting it out in the middle. I played it really loud when I test drove a Vibe to check out the standard audio setup. Made the dealer uncomfortable. Really looking forward to hearing the CD in my own Vibe.

I listen to Godsmack, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Metallica, Pantera, Rammstein, 10 hours of music on the same CD, I love MP3 player.

I played what I played in my old car....but the song that listened to when I picked up my Vibe was......and please don't laugh....the Knight Rider theme music. Hey its the closest I will get to owning a Trans AM (its a Pontiac...the Vibe is a Pontiac....its all good!!!!

We played Fountains of Wayne as we drove off the lot..."The lights about to change you better stand asideWhy you wanna walk don't you wanna ride ride ride ride Don't you wanna ride in my Survival carWe can take the long way home through Central Park"followed by the entire they Might Be Giants catalog!

I Had to play "You Sexy Thing"- by Hot Chocolate. I highly recomend it to any new owners.

metallica!!!!!

In preparation of our vibes arrival my girlfriend and I are making a 70's Funk mix......... I'm still not sure how we came upon the idea, but rest assure if you see a vibe and hear "play that funky music white boy" it's most likely me.

In that case, be sure to include "Do It 'Til You're Satisfied" (by the B.T. Express), which I consider a must in any funk collection.Can't go wrong with "Fantastic Voyage" or James Brown's "(removed) Machine" either!
