“Higher & Higher” by the Moody Blues (don’t laugh til you listen to it!)  
“Calling Elvis” by Dire Straits  
“Mexican Radio” by Wall of Voodoo  
“Migra” by Santana  
…and more that I can’t recall at this ungodly hour.

A cute yet obscure flick from about 7 years ago, Radio Inside, had a brief homage to Radar Love: 2 bro’s listening to the radio on the road, RL comes on-

“This is a great driving song”

“No, this is a great _love_ song”.

While “Born to Run” is the Uber-Bruce, “Badlands” and “Candy’s Room” kick far more road ass than BTR.

Folks, here are a few more to add to your repertoire as you’re making your way to work, play or… whatever.

SATISFACTION - ROLLING STONES: This one, when cranked high up when you’re caught in a traffic jam, will suck the road rage out of anybody’s system! Move 'em out, shoot 'em up guitar riffs and tune.

BORN IN THE U.S.A. - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: Set that volume control to “infinity” and shout along with the lyrics. Give your lungs the workout they deserve.

MONEY FOR NOTHING - DIRE STRAIGHTS: Guaranteed to make your buttocks move and your brain swell.

OYE COMO VA - SANTANA: Feel good, grab-your-seat latin rock that makes Tito Puente proud.

TURN IT ON - GENESIS: This song will melt your radio!
