Do you have a song that helps you race, but you are embarrased to play it?

This happens to me all the time online. My song is Paramore- Misery Buisness. Something about that song puts me in the zone, like the shaving seconds off my times and split second breakneck decisions zone:dunce:
When i play it everyones all like "WTFs someone playing?" and i quick it off.

Well, this isnt just GT5. It happens to me in Burnout too. This pic sums it up perfectly-

Does this happen to anyone else?

To answer the question, though, yes. This song, specifically.

The radio is my favorite part of a car. Music and driviing go together perfectly
 
embarrased Nope

music is music theres no song that i would feel embarrased listing to while playing gt5
 
This thread makes me laugh.
Ok, i'll admit one song I play a lot during my time attack sessions.
The Theft-Atreyu.
 
I do have that one Opera song on my playlist, but it really helps!
 
I'm only embarrased because not many people have heard of the great danish band VOLBEAT
 
I love that song.. and no I don't get embarrassed by my music choice. My friends go wtf, but they don't bug me about it so I keep on enjoying my music! :P

You shouldn't care too much about it
 
Any song by DJ Sharpnel.

That pic is hilarious (and appropriate). For me, it probably was Bucky Done Gun by MIA on NBA Live 06 (another EA Music choice lol). Personally, I love driving with music in real life and in games...just goes so well together. I suppose it really depends on the kind of music you listen to. I mostly listen to hip hop and electronic music, so it goes well with driving. If it was country or opera or something, not so sure it would work.
 
No Angels - Daylight in your eyes
it helped me get in the zone for the Prius event.

They're awesome! Was gonna go see them but they had to cancel cos he's a bit ill. Hopefully they'll organise the tour again :)
 
When it comes to Hard Rock, anything with Volbeat works.
If you're more into some dancemusic, here are some tracks that works for me.
Kinda subtle, but pumps you up good. :dopey:

I listen to Eurobeat 90% of the time when racing, which is kind of embarrassing if people who don't like it hear it.

Initial D got me addicted to it, and makes me blind to the many failings of the genre (read: many songs sounding virtually the same, very high-pitched etc).
 
I just run the soundtrack from Gran Turismo 2 ... God that was an awesome soundtrack ...
 
Yeah, I feel like I need something - a steady tempo helps keep my nerves and stress under control.

I'm gonna say:

Loverboy - "Working for the Weekend"
 
I don't personally like just listening to the engine/tires by themselves, due to the reason engine sounds don't meet my expectations (for me at least)

This song is a killer!
 
IBOWMANI
Anything Drum n Bass helps me :)

DnB ftw!

Listening to a filthy set on bassdrive right now!

Check out the fuzed funk jan 9th set when it becomes available on pod cast via their site.
 
Most of the time i turn of the music while i'm racing, but i found out that the classical music:dopey: actually helps to relax and shave of the seconds!
