Default C3 Music

Not that I'm planning on getting one, but I told my wife that if I got a C4, I'd play nothing but 80's music.

What do owners of C3s typically play? Do you play whatever you like now or do you go vintage (Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, KC & the Sunshine Band)?

I like to listen to many things, but in the C3 70's music always sounds better. She runs better with it too. Seriously.

When in the '68 - top down - Magic Carpet Ride (Steppenwolf). Correct me if I am wrong but I think this song debut when the '68 models were brand new. BK3



MAGIC CARPET RIDE - LYRICS

"I like to dream, yes, yes
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here."

When I got my c3 I found a 70s radio station and got a kick out of it. I soon realized it was awful and got an ipod radio transmitter. What I was really envisioning is the GTA Vice City soundtrack.
