I know that its a cliché, but I always enjoy a good road and a nice car with On Days Like These by Mat Munro.

Sad possibly, but there you have it!

Is that the Italian Job (original) song at the beginning? If it is, good tune, but not the sorta thing I'm looking for - was looking for something a bit more rocky (if that's a word!!)

Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane
Drive - The Cars
Low Rider - War
Stuck in the Middle with you - Stealers Wheel (for those middle lane hoggers)
Radar Love - Golden Earring

That was too easy (I know I'm omitting plenty but that's all I can scramble together for now)

[Nobody You Know]

There is definately a thread already going in General gassing but I cannot find it.

Anyway. Depends on the situation.

General - Any 70's 80's & 90's Hair rock, power ballads, classic rock etc. Basically just Planet Rock Radio.

Hot Summer Evenings - Late 80's, Early Nineties Hip Hop, Run DMC, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg etc. Can't beat 'Still Dre' blaring out.

Good Thrash - 90's and early 00's Punk, Grunge, Thrash/Rap metal.

At the moment I like driving to Three Days - Jane'd Addiction.....

[The Hypno-Toad]

If I had a decent car for driving in, then at the moment I'd be mostly listening to this;

But I haven't got a decent car, so I can't...

"Cos you got to rock motherfker, Yeah!"

[Alfanatic]

Shoot me down for this one, but I always found Belinda Carlisle's Runaway Horses a great song to listen to while driving a great car down a great road.

In an effort to regain some credibility I also put forward The Doors: Riders on the storm

and Roadhouse Blues:

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

[LHDisbest]

Has to be Metallica - It's Electric.

Or their cover of Whiskey in the Jar

[eharding]

I don't know why, but my fondest memories of Griffith 500 ownership are of thumping my way down the A329M on a particularly ice-cold crisp blue morning, roof down, making my ears bleed listening to 'Down Payment Blues'....there's something about that vintage AC/DC sound - I think Bon Scott knew he wasn't ever going to be drawing an old age pension. Edgy....very edgy.

Depends

For a relaxed nighttime long distance mile eating cruise it has to be a mixture of Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Oceansize and a bit of Cream thrown in for good measure

For blasts and thrashes it will be a mixture of hard trance, daft punk, digitalism and a bit of grimewave (dave spoon remix of flex, bit of wiley, stuff like that)

[Dai Capp]

Like a few have said - depends...

If I'm mile munching I'll have some Lloyd Cole on, if I'm off out - some Fratelli's or Stereophonics, if I want to chill - a bit of Roddy Frame or if I'm off to sack someone - Dead Kennedys or Rage Against The Machine (oh the irony) to get me in the mood...

DC

[daphantom]

agree with Roadhouse Blues

Sabotage - Beastie Boys

Go your own way - Fleetwood Mac

Sharp Dressed Man - ZZ Top

Highway to Hell - ACDC

Aces High - Maiden

Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Hey Joe - Hendrix

and now for a curveball

Carribean Blue - Enya

Cloudbusting - Kate Bush
