Songs You Love Driving To (1 Viewer)

One of my favorite pastimes:

Road trip: Chowing down pimento cheese sandwiches, Munchos, and serranos; and listening to the Marshall Tucker Band's Greatest Hits.

ETA: beef jerky and Red Bull for dessert.

Blow Your Mind - Jamiroquoi (a great cruising song)

I'm Goin Home - Ten Years After, live at Woodstock

Beautiful Girls - Van Halen (hard to be sad or mad with this song going)

Illmerica - Wolfgang Gartner. TRUST ME. Put this on. Go 100+ mph. Hard not to

Doo doo doo doo doo - Stones. Drive fast, drive hard, drive angry. But dammit, drive. 

The Distance - Cake. Still angry. Must drive more. 

Love is Like Oxygen - Break out the '77 Camaro, pump the base, cruise the pop hair metal boulevard. Not enough? Your gonna die.

Green Onions - Booker T & the MGs. Get in your MG, smoke a joint, amp the base, smile with the wind rushing through your hair and bugs into your teeth 

Rockstar - N.E.R.D. - now wake the #### up hippie; time for lines. Coke and cruising.  Maybe a lil E, too

Around the World - Daft Punk.  Just E will do, thank you. Ooohhh! Glitter! Nm, just a traffic light. Duuuuude.

BYOB - System of a Down. Must. Smash. Asphalt.

Blondie - Dreaming

The Clash - Brand New Cadillac

Arcade Fire - Keep the Car Running

The Untouchables - Lovers Again

Fine Young Cannibals - Suspicious Minds

U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name, Wire, Out of Control

 
Lately these two have been a staple in the commute rotation:

I'm very surprised that this road rage themed song hasn't been mentioned yet:

Bad Habits by The Offspring.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_wMa_t5cBgY

Many times I drive through the desert from So Cal to vegas really early in the morning or really late at night to avoid traffic--and listening to the Lateralus album by Tool will make that drive through the desert into a spiritual voyage. 

Behind the Wheel- Depeche Mode https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DZtDFIJqRv8

Never let me down- Depeche Mode https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=snILjFUkk_A

Cochise by audioslave https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KDMvN45sjo4

 
The first song that comes to mind for me is Running on Empty - Jackson Browne.

Another one I haven't seen mentioned is Tom Petty - American Girl.

 
Stones - Sympathy for the Devil.  First time I heard this song was when they used it in an episode of Hunter, so I always think of the bad guy in that episode cruising around town on his motorcycle.

 
"More" - Sisters of Mercy

"Theives" - Ministry

"Detroit Rock City" - KISS

"Curl of the Burl" - Mastodon 

 
When the Levee Breaks - LZ

Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty

Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue

Just about anything by Rage Against the Machine

 
Waylon Jennings - "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean"

His Greatest Hits album is some of the best traveling music out there.

 
Was doing my grocery shopping today, listening to Tony Kornheiser's podcast today and when he got to his 'Old Guy Radio' he played Gimme Some Lovin' by The Spencer Davis Group. (It was Spencer Davis' birthday.) The whole song is great for driving, but the opening is just perfect for being behind the wheel with the windows down, screaming down the highway.

One of the guys on TK's show told a funny story about the song, (retold here from Wikipedia)

with a recording session looming, manager Chris Blackwell took them to London, put them in a rehearsal room at the Marquee Club, and ordered them to come up with a new song.


We started to mess about with riffs, and it must have been eleven o'clock in the morning. We hadn't been there half an hour, and this idea just came. We thought, bloody hell, this sounds really good. We fitted it all together and by about twelve o'clock, we had the whole song. Steve had been singing 'Gimme, gimme some loving' - you know, just yelling anything, so we decided to call it that. We worked out the middle eight and then went to a cafe that's still on the corner down the road. Blackwell came to see how we were going on, to find our equipment set up and us not there, and he storms into the cafe, absolutely screaming, 'How can you do this?' he screams. Don't worry, we said. We were all really confident. We took him back, and said, how's this for half an hour's work, and we knocked off 'Gimme Some Lovin' and he couldn't believe it. We cut it the following day and everything about it worked. That very night we played a North London club and tried it out on the public. It went down a storm. We knew we had another No. 1.

Rotted Body Landslide by Cannibal Corpse. Man, every time I'm driving and that ditty is on.... It's like I have to look out the windows to see if there's actually an avalanche of cadavers headed toward the road. 

 
Yeah, Radar Love will get you a speeding ticket every time if you're not paying attention.

First song I thought of.
