Breaking News CD

[2000lux]

I've been thinking of burning a CD with good music to listen to when driving to broken news.

The first three songs that came to mind were, "Dirty Laundry" (definitely #1 on the CD) and may maybe "All She Wants to do is Dance" by Don Henly. Also, "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n' Roses.

Any other suggestions?

"Beautiful Disaster" by 311

Some of the stuff that is good to me:

Metallica-Master of Puppets
The Doors-L.A. Woman
AC/DC-Thunderstruck, If You Want Blood You Got It
White Zombie-More Human Than Human
Lenny Kravitz-Are You Gonna Go My Way
U2-Where the Streets Have No Name
The Cult-She Sells Sanctuary
The Rolling Stones-Jumpin' Jack Flash
The Doobie Brothers-Rockin' Down the Highway
The Who-You Better You Bet
Steve Miller Band-Jet Airliner
Billy Joel-Only the Good Die Young

Well you have to have music to listen to so you can unwind a little:

-When your on your way to the bars, how about AC/DC's "Have a Drink on Me"?
-Driving a long way back to the station, Bob Seger's "Roll Me Away"

This song could fit into either category:
Queen/David Bowie-Under Pressure

Take a look at some of the CDs in 14... That's where I got the idea. :)

14 is one of the crew trucks at our station. The photog who normally uses it has a few CD's he's made in there because some times the radio just sucks.

One day I was headed off to one of those stupid stories that is just a waste of time. The reporter and I had been bitching about it for an hour all the way down. Two blocks away the phone rang, a small plane had just crashed. The two occupants were dead. GO!

I spun the truck around and got back on the highway. A minute later Don Hely's "Dirty Laundry" came on the radio. We blasted it and sang along at the tops of our lungs as we hurtled down the highway at 90 miles per hour. Great fun (except for the people in the plane).

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
That's a great one to end it on. Some times you gotta take the edge off that heavy metal high. :cool:
