Great Driving Songs

I need a Lover (that won’t drive me crazy) John Cougar
Living After Midnight Judas Priest
Rock and Roll Zeppelin

A couple of my favorite moving on songs:

Lido by Boz Scaggs
Movin’ Out and Second Wind by Billy Joel
Reelin’ in the Years by Steely Dan

Drivin’ Wheel & Fool For The City – Foghat
Roadrunner & Light of Day – Joan Jett
Out On The Road & Ride On My Shoulder – Paul Revere and The Raiders

Let it Roll - Little Feat (1988)

*Oooooo she’s like a smooth stretch of highway
Oooooo she’s like a cool summer breeze
If my motor’s running right
We might lose control tonight
Got the shape I love to squeeze
Looks that bring me to my knees
Oh please, let it roll tonight *

You went with Living After Midnight and not Heading Out to the Highway or Desert Plains?

Rocket Cathedrals”, Be-Bop Deluxe
Teenage News”, Sylvain Sylvain
I Wanna Be Sedated”, Ramones
Queen of Eyes”, Soft Boys
Statue of Liberty”, XTC
Drivin’ Sister”, Mott the Hoople
Mystery Dance”, Elvis Costello
Throwing My Baby Out With the Bathwater”, Tenpole Tudor
Back to School Days”, Graham Parker
Hit and Miss Judy”, Wreckless Eric

And for a change-up, “Windfall” by Son Volt

Ditto his song “Traffic Jam”.

Actually anything of his - huge favorites on our driving trips.

This one does it for me: Herb Alpert “Route 101.”

Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover

Fun as could be when I used to drive through Texas Hill Country a lot. Makes my right foot real heavy, though. :slight_smile:

“East Bound and Down” by Jerry Reed!

Hell yeah. Good techno music (especially if you have a decent car audio system) is great for driving, as it’s very video-game-ish.

In a similar vein, old Joe Satriani (and other guitar instrumental music) is the same way for me. I could put Surfing With The Alien on in the car and just haul ass on backroads for a long time.

La Grange, ZZ Top

Love Shack, B-52s

Surf City

Hot Rod Licoln

Brown Sugar

Just about anything by Bachman-Turner Overdrive…:smiley:

What could be better than Maybellene by Chuck Berry?

I also like Miss You by the Stones. It’s got a great cruising beat.

Baby Please Don’t Go, Them
These Boots Are Made For Walkin’, Nancy Sinatra
Ramble On, Zeppelin
Midnight Rambler, Stones

"Drive Somewhere"by the highly underrated and woefully unheard Vulgar Boatmen

Highway Star - Deep Purple
Running on Empty - Jackson Browne

The first 2 that come to mind are:

Big Log from Robert Plant

Russian Hill from Jellyfish

They are more *about *driving, but really capture the feel of moving with the road, too. 2 of my favorites, but YMMV.

This. And, Waiting for Columbus. The entire album.

You’ll be set.

Honorable mention for night driving: Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore.
