Need some good driving songs

anyone got any good ideas so far i got 2 here they are

Limp Bizkit- Rollin
Metallica- Fuel

Most AC/DC songs I find to be very good driving songs, namely Highway to Hell, Girl’s Got Rhythm, and Back in Black.

Roll On Down the Highway, by Bachman Turner Overdrive

(or here if you like lip-syncing)

These are the “Takin’ Care of Business” and “You Ain’t Seen N-N-N-Nothin’ Yet” people from the 70s.

“Road Trippin’”
Red Hot Chili Peppers

“Sunshine”
Atmosphere

Oh, you came to the right place. I recently made two mix CDs that are just for driving, and if you like classic rock, these are for you.

Disc 1:

Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N’ Roses
Smoke on the Water (live) - Deep Purple
Ride the Lightning - Metallica
It’s My Life - Bon Jovi

Disc 2
Girl’s Got Rhythm - AC/DC
Unchained - Van Halen

King Nothing - Metallica
Iron Man - Black Sabbath
Rock You Like a Hurricane - Scorpions
Mind Storm - Joe Satriani (instrumental guitarist)
Life in the Fast Lane - Eagles
Black Dog - Led Zeppelin
For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica

The whole list needs work though. Namely, there’s too much Metallica…not to mention, I’ve recently come into some more music that definitely deserves a place on any driving CD. I’ll keep you posted.

Why do you need help on finding songs? Being very passionate about music, I believe that you need to discover what you like and what works for you. Theres tooooonns of different music out there to suit you every mood, trust me. I would get into my music selection but there is just toooo much to list and I don’t have all week.

Although there were some pretty good songs listed. Just explore and you’ll be suprised what you find enjoyable.

P.S., Highway to hell still gets me pumped!

This is the first one I thought of as well.

This whole thread scares me. And now there is a song that, at least according to its title, condones speeding.

So, what actually is the purpose of “driving music”? I would think something relaxing and soothing would be best. Like Enya. Or something classical (that doesn’t rock too much). Or simply to be alone with your thoughts.

Some of the songs listed would seem to evoke a more aggressive attitude. And that’s not good when you are behind the wheel of a deadly weapon.

Neither is falling asleep, Dave.
