happy holiday music.

[clewsr]

we're driving down to France at the weekend for summer holidays. Anyone any suggestions for some happy holiday and driving music? I've had a shitty couple of months and I'm hoping for some happy holiday times.

Lionel Richie - Dancin' On the Ceiling

Michael McDonald - Sweet Freedom

Billy Ocean - When the goin' gets Tough

Starship - We Built this City

Mr. Mister - Broken Wings

Anything from Billboard in the mid 80's should work...Hit me up with a PM if you need a 10-tracker. McDonald is my speciality.

Bunny Wailer - Blackheart Man
Beach Boys - Kokomo
ON REPEAT!

Jonathan Richman's I, Jonathan.

The entire George Faith- To Be A Lover LP

There's loads of great lounge/library music from the 60s and 70s that soundtracked scenes of glamorous characters driving along coasts in their sportscars... think Steve McQueen.

Check out "The Riviera Affair" from The Sound Gallery. There are other volumes in that series, and Easy Tempo is a great series as well.

Some of the more poppier Cure - Just Like Heaven, High etc...

I would recommend some KLF, Parliament/Funkadelic, John Shuttleworth and a good selection of Trojan Ska.

Eagles of Death Metal - 'Death by Sexy'

"Steppenwolf for the Why Bother Generation".

Seriously - it's fucking awesome!

[clewsr]

thanks for the suggestions, some interesting ideas, I'm going to check some of these out.

so far I've dropped in some old soul, sly, early bjm, luna, fox base alpha, the stax story, mamas and the papas, boo radleys everything's alright forever, and a mello mix of spz for the kids.
