Anything from the 80s by Prince

Various Deep House compilations!!

[Excalibur]

Yeah, 80s glam/hard rock a la G'n'R, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Poison, et al. is good. Also more modern Alternative and Nu Metal like Linkin Park, Evanescence, the Rasmus and Modern pop-punk like Offspring and Green Day.

When I'm in the car on my own it's Deep/Funky House, Old-School Hip-Hop (Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, etc.), Nu-Skool Breaks and Progressive House :D

You can see this coming a mile off, can't you.

" I'm glad I'm not with you when you're on your own !"

[PropellerHeadCase]

Well, Peter, if you were with me when I was on my own itwould obviously be The Doors, The Doobies, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and CCR

[BeerFunk]

Ummm... I don't know how you differentiate a 'driving song' from just a regular song?

The standard issue sound system in my Ford Focus is a generous offering, and I find the quality to be very satisfactory. As such, I listen to a lot of well produced electronic and hip-hop music, with good bass. I suppose I also tend to take a lot of CDs that I can sing along to, as no-one can hear you singing at the top of your voice! 'The Smiths' are a firm favourite in the car, I must say.

A friend of minesent me a mix CD he'd done and I got a speeding ticket... THAT is the definition of driving music - music that is conducive to driving and adds to your enjoyment of doing so (if you enjoy driving), or allows you to enjoy something whilst driving (if you don't).

[Boogie Boy]

The best driving music I ever knew were the first two Santana albums. They used to make the journeys between Marbella and Malaga airport fly by.

[Corabar Steve]

Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes

That is also in my driving selection at the moment

[Dragonfly]

While I was coming back from Chateau Solitaire yesterday, Soul Asylum - Somebody to shove came on in the van, & it struck me that it's a very good driving song.

A few others that I like driving to include :

Pearl Jam - Reirviewmirror
Brian Setzer - Jump jive & wail
Lene Lovich - Lucky number

What are your favourite driving songs? (First to say Bat out of Hell goes in the sin bin for a week)
