[jtwaring]

Ok, its probably been done before but i couldnt find it, so here we go.

You have one CD which you can fill with up to 22 songs for proper driving, PH style.

What would you put on it?

[Baby Huey]

Bend Over I'll Drive by The Cramps.

[Athlon]

Running down a dream : Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers I had this on the rental a few years ago, dawn, Nevada, arrow straight road, clear skies, cool air, flat out, full volume, just a wonderful few minutes!

[Shay HTFC]

Moby - God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters. Perfect sunrise track, driving along an open, empty road, watching the sun just emerging over the mountain tops in the distance

[useyourdellusion]

A compilation CD would have to have a a bit of Foo Fighters, Mercury Rev, Arcade Fire, Zero 7 and maybe a bit Massive Attack for me please.

[jtwaring]

1. Highway to hell - ACDC
2. Smoke on the water - Deep purple
3. Welcome to the jungle - Guns n Roses
4. Paradise City - Guns n Roses
5. Sweet child O' mine - Guns n Roses
6. Dont stop believin' - Journey
7. Boulevard of broken dreams - Greenday
8. Wake me up when september ends - Greenday
9. Use somebody - Kings of Leon
10. Sex on fire - King of Leon
11. Where we belong - Lostprophets
12. Ace of Spades - Motorhead

This is tough to do! Can't we have a triple 'Driving Anthems' CD? Right assuming we can only have 22 songs and its a pure driving cd - this is my take based on either: beat, feel good factor, gets me wanting to sing along and the journey goes faster....( unless you're my passenger - thought i'd get that in before some other smart alec did).
1/ If you want blood you got it – ‘DC
2/ Town Called Malice - Jam
3/ Good Times – Jimmy Barnes
4/ Cat Scratch Fever – Ted Nugent
5/ Hard to Handle – Black Crows
6/ Gimme Three Steps – Skynyrd
7/ Live and Let Die – Guns n Roses
8/ Rock n Roll – Led Zep
9/ Louie Louie – Motorhead
10/ All Night Long – Rainbow
11/ Place your Hands – Reef
12/ Pretty Vacant – Pistols
13/ Won’t Get Fooled Again – Who
14/ Unbelieveable – EMF
15/ Teenage Kicks - Understones
16/ When Love Comes to Town – BB.King & U2
17/ Don’t Stop – Fleetwood Mac
18/ Instant Karma - Weller
19/ Fortunate Son- ‘Fogarty
20/ Cadillac Ranch – Springsteen
21/ Radar Love – Golden Earing
22/ Caroline - Quo

[Kinky]
