Greatest Driving Song of All Time?

[TVR653X]

What is it?

My vote has to go to The Chain, but only in the sense it makes me imagine epic landscapes and long winding roads, and of course F1.

[CarlT]

My choice changes all the time, at the moment.

- Killing in the Name of - Rage Against the Machine
- Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

cliched i know, but radar love for me

[71notout]

Surely has to be "Born To Be Wild" however cliched it may be!

Gah! Stop doing this people!

[TedMaul]

Running Down a Dream - Tom Petty - I mean, just listen to the lyrics, listen to the solo..
Holy Gasoline - Zodiac Mindwarp runs a close second

[Paul_B]

Muse - Knights of Cydonia. Gotta be up there!

[Motown Junk]

Surely, 'Straight down the Middle' by Bing Crosby must be the greatest driving song of all time?

It's funny you mention Holst, I love to drive to the bit in Jupiter that they used for World In Union....feel it's quite epic.

Some tunes I'm into at the moment are these:

NOTE the second one MAY not be work friendly, contains scantly clad women.

My choice does vary depending on what sort of driving I'm doing, a big one for me and one that essentially kicked off the process of me doing my last "driving" compilation CD is Death in Vegas - "Aisha"

Jimmy Eat World - "Sweetness" is another that really gets the MPG down!

Love that tune. So good live when the crowd get involved.

My submission to this thread: Cardigans - My Favourite Game.

Queens of the Stone Age - In My Head (in fact, the whole Lullabies to Paralyse album...)

Actually, that's a bit weak.

I think Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin has to be there for driving down a road, late at night, no traffic...

[markh1]

It depends on my mood and what car I am driving but one that I can think of is...

Queen - driven by you

Full on Cerbera Hooligan moment said:

Sorry I have to disagree, late night and a journey to behold has to being with.... sit down, belt on, hit the starter button and give it an almighty blip on the loud pedal and take off like a scalded cat just as 'Bonzo' hits the first stick.

Never done that.

I need to do that.

Would that be from Led Zep 1 or live from Madison Square Garden? Personally I'd go for the live version, just for the eerie fully resolved violin bow section.
