Best driving songs....ever!

[NZRoadtrip]

In a couple of months I'm going on week long campervan trip around New Zealand and I've been adding songs to my road trip playlist for the last couple of weeks. I've got thousands of songs in my library but I end up skipping through loads of them so I think I need a cull.

Looking for suggestions for some decent driving music, I've got 200 songs currently but ideally I'd like to double that so I'm not listening to the same songs over and over. I don't like rap, dance, garage, techno, R&B, boy/girl band music (Westlife, Girls Aloud etc.) but I do like indie, rock (not metal), bit of country.

Any ideas?

Hazard - Richard Marx
i drove all night - cyndi Lauper

Rain is a good thing - Luke Bryan
Springsteen - Eric Church
My church - Maren Morris

I've got I drove all night but the Orbison version, excellent song

Not heard of any of those 3 but I'll check them out, thank you!

Waiting for a girl like you - Foreigner
just like a pill - pink
Total eclipse of the heart - Bonnie Tyler
It must have been love - Roxette
black velvet - Alannah Myles

I debated which version to go with 😁

They’re country - and in my opinion, excellent

I've added Springsteen and My Church, good songs. Wasn't too keen on the first one

Sweet dreams are made of this - Eurythmics
More than a Feeling - Boston
Pump it up - Elvis Costello
What’s Going On - 4 Non Blondes

Bat out of Hell - Meatloaf
Go your own way - Fleetwood Mac
Take it Easy - The Eagles
Boys of Summer - Don Henley
Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters

The Cult She Sells Sanctuary
Echo and The Bunny Men The Killing Moon

Anything by The Smiths

I could probably fill your trip with 90s Britpop (if that's your thing?).
Oasis- she's electric
Blur- song 2
Supergrass- Richard III
Kaiser Chiefs- I predict a riot

Also
Muse either Knights of Cydonia or Supermassive Black Hole
Ben Folds Five - Underground

And, because I'm Scottish
Proclaimers- I'm gonna be (500 miles).

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Tom Petty - pretty much any of his songs!
Children - Robert Miles

Listen to The War on Drugs - lots of theirs is good driving music, especially the more upbeat ones for driving!

Philharmonic Orchestra version of Dancing in the Fark, as well as the original obviously!

Dark not Fark😂

I have all of yours with the exception of Foo Fighters, thank you :-)

Already got Fast Car and my favourite TC song ever, Give me one reason

Got quite a few Tom Petty ones too

Got quite a bit of Oasis/Supergrass/Blur and Kaiser Chiefs.

Obviously got the Proclaimers, can't have driving playlist without 500 miles

I've give them a listen, thanks for the recommendation.

Free bird, always 🦅

Dreams / Linger / Zombie by The Cranberries
Pompeii by Bastille
Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana

I’m so jealous! Loved camping round NZ. Make sure you stop for plenty of real fruit ice cream!

Yep, got this one

I have the Bad Wolves version of Zombie and a few Nirvana, forgot about Pompeii, that's a good one.

Never been to NZ before, I'll defo look out for the ice cream though.

Road to hell. Because it always seems to come on when I am in a traffic jam.

Yes I know it is not supposed to be about driving.

Willie Nelson is good for Country driving songs.
Top Gear did a top 10 driving songs and Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” was number 1.
