Best driving song ever?

I like this guys lack of style
OK, what is your ultimate driving song? A son which just blows you away every time you listen to it behind the wheel (or as a passenger, as the case may be)

My nominations would have to go to -

The Chemical Brothers - Surface to Air. Absolutely awesome in every conceivable way, off one of the only albums I have not got bored of listening to. I heartily recommend buying their album or at the very least downloading the track, it'll amaze you :thumbup: . This also gets my vote as the best end-track on an album ever!

The Prodigy - Shoot Down. Again, absolutely awesome. If listened to extremely loud it sounds absolutely a-maze-ing! Again I heartily recommend downloading the track and listening to it

Those are my nominations, what about yours? Maybe we can build up an ultimate driving song collection :lol:

Here are my choices, and do I have a lot!!!

Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway
AC/DC - Highway to heck
Celine Dion - I drove all Night
Gino Vanelli - Black Cars
War - Low Rider
Prince - Little Red Corvette
Beatles - Drive my car
Grease - Grease Lightning
BTO - Let it Ride
Shark Tale soundtrack - Car wash
Weird Al Yankovic - She drives like crazy
Frankie Smith - Double Dutch Bus
The Cars - Drive

They're all good for driving....But I suppose the best is the Tom Cochrane one....

Exactly what I was thinking. :thumbup:

I also submit "Trans Am (Highway Wonderland)" by Sammy Hagar for consideration.

Well, I am a Hagar fan so 55 is up there.

A song that sticks with me when driving has to be this experience.....

Imagine cruising down a flat straight desert highway in Arizona with the Rocky Mountains way off in the distance at 3am with a full moon and nobody else on the road. Everybody else in the car is sleeping.

On the radio come "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult. It was a moment of time I will never forget. I had chills the whole song.

Of course, that was more or less perfect timing. That song does not have the same effect in rush hour traffic.

I think songs about driving are a little too cliche to be great driving songs.

Yes, I think I rather agree with that.

I'll only ever need two songs in my car. (When I get one. :( )

For the day: Hide Away - John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers (Clapton, baby - This song is a three minute guitar solo.)

For the night: Tonight (duh) - Spiderbait (So long as you ignore the cliche lyrics, its a really good song.)

Air Supply may originally be from Australia, but I'm sure the US won't mind deporting them to Canada to keep you company all winter.

Actually, they do have a few upcoming tour dates in Canada: http://www.airsupplymusic.com/tour.html

None of which are likely close to you, but all are probably still too close for your comfort. ;)

The Hombres - Let It All Hang Out

You know what this song needs to be? Six minutes longer. The perfect cruising music.

Was recently used in a Fosters "twist" advert here in the UK.
