Need an album recommendation for menus

[Barcelonic]

Try John Mayer's live album from Los Angeles - "Where The Light Is". Good mix of slow and upbeat songs, all with a nice steady tempo to them.

lol one of my favourites i have the bluray

trouble is i've heard it to death - the same problem im now having with adele. i tend to listen to something over and over again if its good and with adele it was on gt5 so i heard it all the time in menus for ages lol

Saw it mentioned on the first page, I recommend Portishead - "Dummy". It's a deep, moody album delicately balanced with Beth Gibbons' angelic overtones.

Example:

good idea i used to have that but havent heard it in ages. the only thing is the songs mostly dont kick off until about 30 seconds in at least and in the menus you rarely hear that much of it

Here are some ideas...

Phoenix - Alphabetical
Powderfinger - Vulture Street
The Decemberists - The King is Dead

Dave Matthews Band - Live At Red Rocks. I've got Disc 1 as my menu music, and Disc 2 mixed with a bunch of fast stuff for my racing music.

These 👍

Judas priest "painkiller" just the song though

Kickstart my Heart - Motley Crue.

 

[DJones]

Kickstart my Heart - Motley Crue.

That's a bit fast paced lol. If there were a song that made me drive fast this would be it

[Rudenut]

Chain Gang for the tuning shop

I bought those Native American healing music cds and I use it as my menu soundtrack. its so refreshing to hear them after those heavy metal race music

 

[McClarenDesign]

Not an album, but Planet Caravan.

I mentioned it before but i'm more specific, Minerva by Deftones makes a great intro song when entering Gt5

I have a whole boatload of Video Game instrumentals (metal gear solid 1-4, Super Street Fighter 4 AE, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter, etc...)

I usuually split the tracks in two.... racing music and menu music. Racing music can be upbeat, tempo, rapid, etc..... Menu Music is mostly laid back and loungy.....

Lulu - Lou Reed/Metallica
