When i'm in my car speeding down I-95, Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Saturday Night Special"* seems like the greatest song ever produced.....but sitting here in my office i can't even listen to it....same with country music - i can't listen to them in the winter, it must be a sunny warm day......






*Is it the environment or am i influenced by that scene in The Longest Yard influence

Yes I think definitely it does.
But then too, sometimes music can make your environment seem different too, so I guess it can go both ways.

That's very true.

I have certain CD's or songs that I consider "driving music" but never listen to at other times.

I agree pro, certain songs sound so much better in the car than at home.

SRV, always sounds better in the car.

Nothing like the acoustics of the Tower theater Tim.

Yes a really good sound system does wonders for classical music.
