Best songs for driving.

[ambience]

My other thread gave me the idea to start this thread about which songs are the best for driving.

My all time top driving song:

[*] Read Steady Go - Paul Oakenfold (I may not own a Saab but this is an awesome driving song)

Here are my other top 5 choices (in no order):

• Fasten your seatbelt - Pendulum
• Gotta Get Thru This - Daniel Bedingfield
• Escape - Craig Armstrong
• Don't Stop Believin' - Journey
• Exploration of Space - Cosmic Gate

What are yours?

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Anything by the Cars...

Seriously, I just make a couple of mixed cds in iTunes from whatever I listen the most to...

 

[ezzie]

my favorite driving song right now...

"supermassive black hole" by muse. it really makes my driving day.

i'm an iTunes mix CD-er as well...i don't have any set "driving music"...there are just some songs that put me in a better driving mood.

 

[bbergie]

Older Bob Dylan tunes, or whatever my wife's iPod/Griffin iTrip is playing.

 

[devilot]

Totally depends on my mood...

• sometimes something like System of a Down or Rammstein.
• other times it's jazzy or bluesy stuff
• in the warm sunny summertime w/ the windows down and my hair blowing in the wind? Beach Boys.

those are just a few...

2 Fast 2 Furious - Ludacris

Lately i have been listening to BBC essential mixes and ETN fm mixes wherever i drive.

 

[MongoTheGeek]

Radar Love -- Golden Earring
AKA Driver -- They Might Be Giants

Big hand on 120, little hand on E.

 

[jdechko]

Radar Love -- Golden Earring

Good one.

I like a lot of Electronic/Techno music when I drive long distances. Rock music is generally good for driving, and comedy (stand-up mostly) for when I'm stuck in traffic.

 

[Abstract]

Anything fast and with a cool beat.

This ranges from "The Game" to "The Rapture" to "Boards of Canada"

 

[yg17]

I don't really know of any driving songs, but there are some songs that for one reason or another, make me go fast.


Or maybe it's just my lead foot and lack of patience.

 

[Mammoth]

• Exploration of Space - Cosmic Gate

+1

I like almost anything by DJ Shadow if it's late at night and if I'm hyper..

• Twisted - Svenson and Gielen
• Cafe del Mar (Any remix that's fast) - Energy 52

More in later edits. I can't think.

 

[EricNau]

Absolutely, Hands down, Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner. *

You may also be interested in the Drive Time - Autobahn CD.




* - Drive at your own risk!

 

[ebouwman]

Top Gear rated
"Don't Stop Me Now" - Queen
as the best driving song, I agree

 

[Kwyjibo]

Papa Roach - time and time again ...

 

[Grakkle]

Absolutely, Hands down, Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner. *

I second that. I must confess I also like Oompah music for driving. It just has that beat - like the cylinders in the engine.

 

[steamboat26]

My list-
-Punkrocker (feat. Iggy Pop)- Teddybears (the song from the Cadillac Pursuit of Liberty Commercial)
-Huddle Formation- The Go! Team (song from the recent Honda Civic commercial)
-Any kind of drum and bass
-Dr. Dre (especially his album 2001)

EDIT: A few more i thought of
-Boyz in the hood- Dynamite Hack
-Mozart's Requiem

they're not the fastest paced tunes.
