Classic Driving Songs

[Smokeahontas]

Those songs that you belt out!

Celine Dion - It’s All Coming Back To Me Now
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Tina Turner - Proud Mary

Bonus points for steering wheel drumming (while in stationary traffic, obviously)

Here I go again - Whitesnake

Red might spells danger - Billy Ocean

Bay out of hell - Meatloaf

Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf

I too was going to say Bat Out of Hell. Can't get a more classic driving song / album than that.

Often laughed at but

Everything we do is driven by you ~ Brian May

I’ll Also add

Bad Moon Rising ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival
Radar Love ~ Golden Earring
The Chain ~ Fleetwood Mac

If I'm driving any distance on my own, I also like my Whitney Greatest Hits CD in the car - great to belt out some of those tunes when you are on your own.

I find ABBA's greatest hits a good driving companion.

Evanescence, Bring me to life.
Obviously agree, Bat out of hell.

I can’t believe I missed Bat Out Of Hell

Quite different to what I’d listen to at home but my driving play list would have to include:

Boys of Summer
Summer of 69
Thunder Road

I always play ZZ Top as driving music.
You can't beat, "La Grange", "Got Me Under Pressure", "Cheap Sunglasses", "I Need You Tonight"...

Oh, and also:

Born to Run
More than a Feeling
Red Light Spells Danger
Reflections (the Supremes)

Not very seasonal at the moment, but Chris Rea Driving Home For Christmas always gets me.

You’ve really started something OP - I might need to go out for a drive!

Some more:

Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon
Valerie - Amy Whitehouse

Love that one for a Christmas drive @MrsGinnyM

She sells sanctuary The Cult

Yes yes to Radar Love and The Chain, also More Than A Feeling, pretty much anything by Whitesnake or Meatloaf... Guns n Roses Appetite for Destruction album...

Can I throw in My Favourite Game by The Cardigans too?

I loved making driving mix tapes/CDs... I think my age is showing

Seven Nation Army definitely! Thanks @FlouncingBabooshka.

What was that song by The Killers (maybe) Monster?

A lot of Fleetwood Mac and Stevie featured tbh... The Doors too...

Wonder if I’ve still got a tape player?

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery oh, yes , The Killers! I’d have Mr Brightside and When You Were Young.

For something a bit more laid back when driving home from the beach on a hazy summer’s evening (getting very specific here!) I’d want to include Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chile Peppers.

The mixed tape is a thing of wonder @OnceUponAMidnightBeery

My varied selection of driving songs

Favourite Game - The Cardigans
Rhinestone Cowboy
Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry
In the Heat of the Moment - Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
Uprising - Muse

@MrsGinnyM

Not very seasonal at the moment, but Chris Rea Driving Home For Christmas always gets me.

Chris Rea's "Texas" is an amazing driving song, though!

Some more:

Everlong - Foo Fighters
Fortune Faded - RHCP
Copy Of A - Nine Inch Nails

So many good ones. A think a mix tape Spotify playlist needs to be made! Anyone want to make it to share??

Born to Run
Motorcycle Emptiness
U2's Out of Control or Electric Co
