What is your favourite driving song?

[bdr529]

A recent drive down the Brecon roads at 5am, roads to myself, sun rising up and this coming out the stereo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvXj9uHgpXA, was a good start to the day

It got me thinking, do you lot have any particular favourite song that helps make a drive that bit more special?

This of course excludes those with a roaring V8 to listen to instead.

Far far too many to ever pick a favourite but whenever I hear Chris Rea - Auburge I always want to drive my car. It's not the kind of music I listen to, just a childhood association of driving across France that will forever stick with me.

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

you wouldn't expect that riff, and all it entails 75% of the way in.

AH! I never knew who did Stop the Rock until now, good tune
And yeah, The Cardigans did the intro song to Gran Turismo 2, so that song is always associated with driving in my head now!

The "techno" version...

I wonder what 'mericans would think of actual techno music.

[hesnotthemessiah]

A tad more 'old skool' for me.

Something that always gets me into the mood on the way to a Breakfast club or PH Sunday Service. Early mornings and empty A & B roads......

Driving down from the Dolomites on a fabulous sweeping roadway listening to a 'local?' radio station this came on, not exactly this but my Italian was/is kind of rusty but it was a live recording and went on for about 12-15 minutes, serendipitous to say the least, because it matched the drive perfectly, tried to find the exact version since but have failed, tried all the ones on youtube etc.

But the closest match is this 3 minute snippet.

Not really a specific song, but for a road trip you can't beat the Dumb And Dumber OST.

The Prodigy Omen is a good choice, and instead of stop the rock i prefer time is running out, but if i really want to make some time up, then faithless insomnia at high volume does the job
