Thanks for making me think about this. I'd have to say my favorite cruising song is:



[FONT=helvetica, arial]The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder Road

Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
>From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets

They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win.

thats a really good list, but if you're talking about brittish music you can't forget:
the kinks
the small faces
the zombies
the jam/paul weller...

 

The Twilight Singers: Follow you down

Get the wheel, let’s go for a ride-
if you’re trouble then I’ll follow
you down
last night- I saw the strangest light
I wanna see it again-

I’m wide awake-
somebody put a gun in my face-
go ahead I said- erase.

Get the wheel, let’s go for a ride
if you’re trouble, then I’ll follow you
down
last night, last night was alright-
I wanna see you again.

 

Jane's Addiction - Hypersonic

I can't help but step on the gas with this song on.

 

Lately I've had Linkin Park - Bleed it Out playing in my MINI. That song + MINI = increased pressure on gas peddle!

 

late but....

 

hahahahahaa!

The kicker for me is the-- I know you're part of the geek squad-- look from my son--that really gives me the ultra cheesy grins

 

Life is a Highway, Tom Cochrane
Steve McQueen, Sheryl Crow
Radar Love, Golden Earring

 

I like trance myself,
DJ Tiesto, Armin Vanburren, Crystal Method, stuff like that
I feel like could drive for hours listening to that stuff.

 

Typical teenage stuff. I have my 30g Zen Vision M hooked up to my aux so anything that is on there goes into my H/K system. Things like:

Atreyu
Breaking Benjamin
Dragonforce
Helloween
Iron Maiden
Kamelot
Pink Floyd
Rhapsody
Van Halen (The song panama always get me driving spiritedly, probably because it is the intro song to Gran Turismo 4).

Like i said, teenage stuff. My mom hates most of it and my dad is just sort of "meh" about it. That said the only thing in my player that could possibly qualify as rap would be some of my early Papa Roach. Yeah, I really, really dont like rap.
