Malaysian Bus Drivers have Good Taste in Music

I do not drive, a fact i have been harping about a lot these days. That being said, i do use the bus services a lot, my only complain being its not as organised as Singapore's nor is it easy to know which bus to take to get to somewhere. What i normally do is just flag down a bus i think is going in the same direction as I am, and just ask the conductor if its the correct bus. And did i mention is dirt cheap?

A 7km journey to Masjid Jamek and the Pudu Raya area where my old school is only costs RM1.00 if u take one of those old-ramshackle-red-looks-like-its-about-to-fall-apart Selangor busses and RM1.50 if you take Metrobus.

.....and did i mention you get great entertainment, especially if your bus driver happens to be a middle aged malay chap...cos believe it or not, they have great taste in old school rock.

And some....do not...

So, here' the BUSBOARD TOP 10!!! (excuse the apparent lameness....billboard does sound much nicer..ao anyway..)

10) We will Rock You --- Queen

9 ) Paradise City ---- Guns N Roses

8 ) Girls Just Wanna Have Fun -- Cindy Lauper

7) I Love Rock N Roll -- Joan Jett (in my highest opinion, one of the most honest female rockers)

6) Help! -- The Beatles

5) Mr Brightside -- The Killers (i am surprised the bus driver actually played this)

4) Knockin on Heaven's Door -- Guns N Roses

3) Stairway to Heaven -- Led Zeppelin

2) Freebird -- Lynyrd Skynyrd

and....

NUMBER 1:

Bittersweet Symphony -- The Verve



truth be told, they play awful music too...... no ranks for these though....if it stinks..it stinks, period.


- the stuff 50 cent raps

- ...for that matter..ANY rapper.....with the exception from Mike Shinoda's rap in Linkin Park and the rap stuff Rage Against The Machine do....


for example, stuff like "Guerilla Radio" and "Wake" by them.....lovely guitar work.

- and by the way......

I THINK THE MUSIC HITZ.FM AIRS IS CRAP.......most of the time.

I mean, come on, what is so nice about hip hop and rap????? The music mixing is lousy.....they all sound the same most of the time and there is NO or hardly any guitar work!

*expletives fly*

If you want good music on the go, i highly recommend you get your ass onto Bittorrent and download and burn whatever you want. Or listen to Lite.fm



Cheers!
