The best driving songs!

Any Joe Satriani for a long drive will do.

Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac is THE driving song. Espeically the really cool part just before the last chorus. Bigity-bam, that's some great driving music.

Anything by the Beach Boys, ZZ Top or Queen.

Chris Rea :The Road to Hell

leftover salmon is good driving music, so is lucinda williams, the dead, the doors, led zep, nickel creek, janis, john denver, prodigy, jane's addiction, nirvana, chris cornell, 4 non-blondes, willie nelson, anything that would be considered 'oldies'....etc etc etc.

Road Trippin' - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Broken Wings is my all-time favorite song

Thank you for the tip!!!!! I am listening to Bon Jovi livin on a prayer right now!!!!!(I am at work on a laptop with only a 46k connection) I have ADSL with 256k at home so I will add to my favorites when I get home and thanks again Bye the way How old are you?

Let's see, the account page says I'm 29. I've always liked older music and like songs even way older than the 80's. I have never followed the crowd with listening to whatever is 'now'.

I like songs by the Smiths. My favourites are: What She Said, Queen Is Dead, Stop Me if You Heard this One Before, and There Is a Light that Never Goes Out.

Morrissey is also very spiffy. Last of International Playboys, Picadilly Palare, Irish Blood English Heart, and Degengham Dave.

Other driving songs I like are Beautiful World by Coldplay, I Do by Anastacia, Imitation of Life by REM, Walking in Memphis by Cher, anything by Era, Every You and Every Me by Placebo, and Queen of the Damne by Triestesse de la Luna.

You have a cool taste in music.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC

My all time favorite songs for driving are Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and "All Right Now" by Free...reminds me of being a teenager driving around with my t-tops out.

Driver's Seat - Sniff 'n the Tears

Everything everyone else has listed sounds good to me.

Thank you, I am actually a "soul" person but for driving nothing beats soft rock tunes.
Your younger than me but like I said the 80's New wave was in when i was a teenager so bands like :
Depeche Mode
Duran Duran
ABC
Human League
Ultravox

I still have my "Don't you want me baby" by Human League on 12" single vinyl

butt-hole by densi leary
rusted cage by sound garden
hell, the entire A-side sound garden cd
mesmorized by audio slave
santaria by sublime
whole bunch of 80's metal crap. Yeah, its crap, but in general, for some strange reason, they make excelant road songs.

I had my Depeche Mode phase. I still listen to them from time to time. Ultravox is amazing, especially 'Voice'.

Yes, But "Vienna" was THE tune from them
