The Car: Rock and Roll Inspiration Autos Articles | February 12 Cheap Devan Dubnyk Hat , 2007
Cars and music go hand in hand. Many, many rock and roll songs are about, or feature the automobile. A large number of people spend more time listening to music in their cars than they do anywhere else.

It could be said that there are two elements that place a person firmly in time: the music that provides the soundtrack to their life, and the cars they have driven. Perhaps then Cheap Kyle Quincey Hat , it should not surprise us to find that the car has provided the inspiration for a very significant proportion of 20th and 21st Century popular music lyrics.

While it isn?t really clear what qualifies a song for inclusion in one of these compilation projects (under which the shelves of motorway service stations positively groan) as the lyrical subject matter does vary widely, it remains clear that a huge number of songs have been written in which the car plays a major role.

In the songs of The Beach Boys and their contemporaries, the car is a vital part of teenage life. It is a means of transport Cheap Matt Dumba Hat , a status symbol, an environment for conducting courtship rituals? Whether the vehicle driven is owned or borrowed from parents, these songs reflect a time when driving was just becoming a part of the domain of youth, giving them a kind of freedom formerly enjoyed only by the older generation.

In other cases Cheap Ryan Suter Hat , songs about the car seem almost designed to be played as an accompaniment to car journeys. The driving force of the bass and drum rhythm section chugs along in time to the beat of a revving engine. Golden Earring?s classic ?Radar Love? is the obvious example. Meanwhile, few self-respecting motorcyclists would listen to Steppenwolf?s ?Born to be Wild? without feeling the urge to don leather and tear up the street.

Kraftwerk, in their electronic epic ?Autobahn? (over 20 minutes in length) endeavored to paint a sonic picture of the automobile and its natural environment, the German autobahn highways.
