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)

I like screaming along to Alanis Morrisette’s Jagged Little Pill album on long journeys, it’s a great throwback to my late teen years

We need a Mumsnet road trip. We could drive in a convoy of classic cars with proper cassette players, listening to our mix tapes.

Twinkleylight · 20/01/2022 02:04

Blondie Atomic and the accompanying album

GingerScallop · 20/01/2022 02:36

Don't know about classic but my 3 year old will not go anywhere without
I need a hero - Bonnie Tyler
Street life - Randy Crawford

The minute we get in the car one of these has to come on. Played over and over. As he sings along

Twinkleylight · 20/01/2022 02:42

Self control by Laura Brannigan
Valerie by the Zutons (the original rather than the Amy Winehouse cover)

BlueFlavour · 20/01/2022 06:51

Oh yes Blondie, especially Rapture.

Fritilleries · 20/01/2022 07:22

Have you actually listened to it? It's a great one for dramatically screaming to.

elQuintoConyo · 20/01/2022 07:36

Soft Metal album - classics like Kaylieigh, Poison...

She Sells Sanctuary is marvellous!

Shine - Years and Years, its a builder, til you are singing (shouting) at the top of your voice

KloppsTeeth · 21/01/2022 11:47

Just been listening to Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? By Paula Cole. That is a great song for the car.

Twinkleylight · 21/01/2022 12:15

Just put on A bat out of Hell in honour of Meatloaf. RIP.

MrsGinnyM · 21/01/2022 12:48

It's got to be Paradise By The Dashboard Light today. RIP Meat. Thanks for the memories.
