What are your Favourite Cruising Tunes??

Just curious to know what everyone likes to listen to while they are out on a drive? Have a favourite tune for a straight road, for a twisty road?

Post of some of your choices here...


I like
RAM JAM - Black Betty
Prodige - Smack your B Up
The Grid - Swamp Thing

Heard this today and it made a long day all worth it. Now, I need to listen to it again on the way home.

I'd have to produce my entire "Highway Boogie" playlist from my iPod.

I do know that "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC is great song for flirting with speeding tickets!

I like listen to any classical musics while driving. Window down to smell outside smelling. Very relaxed.

Always first on my play list - Gets me in the mood for a spirited drive.

Bryan Adams - Open Road

I'm sitting at the wheel
I got a green light
I'm not afraid of nothing
cos heart and soul im built for life

so let the engines roar
push the pedal down
i want the white lines on my highway
to lead me out of town

I'm rolling on and on and on
who knows where i'm going

Life is an open road
its the best story never told
It's an endless sky, it's the deepest sea
life is an open road to me
life is an open road to me

i got headlights
to guide me thru the night
i got the window down and the radio playing
it makes me feel alive

I'm rollin on and on and on
who knows where im goin

life is an open road
it's the best story never told
it's an endless sky, it's the deepest sea
life is an open road to me
life is an open road to me

I really like music with strong beats, such as B-52, The Cars, The Police, and The Beatles (yeah, that date me all right ). If anyone has suggestion as to other similar music, let me know!

Rock on!

A few hours later I'll arrive back into the neighborhood playing I'm Your Boogie Man. I have too much fun at my neighbor's expense for sure.

Sometimes I drive through my neighborhood listening to I'm Your Boogie Man but it's the Rob Zombie version!

Spirited Driving:
Breathe - Prodigy
Firestarter - Prodigy
Thunder Kiss '65 - White Zombie
Sabotage - Beastie Boys
Rockstar - N*E*R*D
Hate Me Now - NAS

My wife gets a kick out of the fact that most of the time I have my IPod on random and it will go from Johnny Cash to Public Enemy to The Cure to John Lee Hooker.
