Given that modern music is a pile of shit, i have been wondering what is best to play whilst cruising in such an iconic motor.

Personally i opt for Led Zepplin, America and Lynard Skynard:

99 Luftballoons - the original version sung in German.

Correct period (for my '83) and I can imagine it playing in a new E30 owned by young rich W German kids
'83 Bronzit 323i (mmmm, chrome)
'74 Polaris 2002 (mmmm, retro)
'89 Delphin 535i (mmmm, waft waft)

Surely early 80's german electro would suffice in an 80's german motor??....

DAF (Deutsche Amerikanische Freundshaft) - Brothers:


Failing that there's always the U.S / British early 80's vibe via factory records and ESG:




Or to get totally funked up there's always War:

Pink Floyd and INXS for me, splattered with some Cure, New Order for the true '80's feel in the car!

I've even got a few cassettes I made in the '80 of Capital Radio's Greg Edwards and Kenny Everett complete with ads and news. Magic!

Currently rocking this CD, been listening to this guy for like 4-5 years and he's come a long way since then. Always enjoyed driving to his music.

Great lyrics.
