The best driving song
 

If there is one song that makes you put your foot down on the gas and sing along as hard as you can, what song will it be?????


With me it really depends on my mood, but a favorite is a song by the dutch band named Diesel called Sausalito summer nights.

One that immediately comes to mind is "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley.

Radar Love

Back in Black

Running with the Devil

GYOW

Oh wait, you said sing along with, I cannot sing along with some of these but they make me put the pedal to the metal so to speak.

three posts and 2.5 dutch bands :confused: We only get stuck in traffic!

dutch:
diesel
radar love by golden earring from the Hague
and a Van Halen song. The brothers Van Halen were born in my hometown, het Willemskwartier in Nijmegen.

Oh and I saw a AC/DC-track too. Angus lives in Holland too: in Aalten. And he does for a long time now- 'bout 25 years?

My fave driving song Is;

New Orleans Is Sinking by The Tragically Hip
or
Driver's Seat By Sniff 'n' the Tears
or
Amphetamine by Steve Wynn THAT one is dangerous!!!!! From his 2003-abum.

Definitely Fall From Grace or Everybody Finds Out. Those songs make me drive veryyyy fast!

Two come to mind:

Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run

Cyndi Lauper - I Drove All Night

"Black On Black" by Heart, "Michael" by Franz Ferdinand, and "Golden Rod" by Blondie are my three big ones.

"Long Way To Go" is a good, one, too, as is just about anything from ABC and Duran Duran.

:lol: Well, that's what I get for speaking about that which I know nothing. I haven't seen the movie! :sorry:

Me either.

...but the soundtrack is great. :woohoo:

I love hearing Tom Petty's "Free Fallin" when I'm driving.

Meatloaf - Bat of of Hell

You Shook me all night long -AC/DC

But then, I cant drive....I just annoy the driver singing 80s rock. :D

All songs that make me want to speed. :p

Nope... have they done this on there then?

Pip

Do Ya-ELO
Don't Bring me down-ELO

The Chain-Fleetwood Mac
Revolution-The Beatles
Swingtown-Steve Miller Band
Finer Things-Steve Winwood
Rock and Roll-Led Zeppelin

Start Me Up-Rolling Stones

Yeah, they had a best driving song contest.

The viewers had the choice between Radar Love-Golden Earring, Born to be Wild-Steppewolf, a song by Deep Purple, Don't stop me now-Queen and Bat out of hell-Meatloaf.

They did everything to persuade people not to vote for Meatloaf, it worked.
Queen was the winner followed by Golden Earring.

The Charlie's Angels 2 soundtrack RULES. I'm a music snob, and that stupid CD hasn't left my car since the day I got it at work. That version of "Rebel Rebel" is awesome, and come on... you've got "Livin' on a Prayer," "Danger! High Voltage" by the Electric Six, Edwyn Collins' "A Girl Like You"... and, uh, "I Just Wanna Be Your Everything" by Andy Gibb. It gets my seal of approval.

I associate driving with the windows down with amazing weather and having fun with John Mellencamp... "Hurts So Good," "Cherry Bomb," "Just Another Day," and "Key West Intermezzo" specifically. Every night for the last two weeks while leaving work I've played "Hurts So Good" and "I Need Love" by Sam Phillips, and embarrass myself singing loudly with the windows open.

Keeping with my recent Yaz obsession, "Upstairs at Eric's" is actually a great album to drive to. The upbeat-ness of it keeps me from screaming at the idiot drivers around me. :laugh:

Other good stuff to drive to:

- "Running Through The Garden" (the RAL demo)

- "The Reflex", Duran Duran

- "Dancing In Berlin", Berlin

That's weird, I have a total John Mellencamp driving thing, too. :shocked:
Mine has to include Paper/ Fire.

"I Can't Wait" makes me drive fast..... :nod:

A VERY cool choice!

Maybe, but we definately nearly drive.The first three seconds of gathering speed we'll have to hit the brakes. All that non-driving energy goes into the rock I guess.

But it is great that Radar love (1973!) is still something overseas. Can you believe that The Golden Earring still exists in the same line-up as on radar love? They were formed in '65. And they still rock, 34 (!) albums and (!) 65 singles later.

Amber, I wanna be in your car! Sounds like fun. :D

~Nicki

No idea....maybe we should watch?! :D

~Nicki

Mike likes to watch it... when I'm not hogging the remote control!

Pip

... the best song in the world! heh..

Pip

thanks.
We would do what we can! :cool:
you can't go wrong if Edge is there... :p

Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf

Take the Long Way Home - Supertramp

Free Bird - Lynard Skynard

Roll Me Away - Bob Seger (great biker song, the lyrics are awesome!)

It's not the greatest song in the world... it's just a tribute.

I like to play "Wonderboy" and "Explosivo" in the car. I actually play that album anytime I take a road trip at least once or twice.
