Best Driving Song Ever

Stig

A13 Trunk Road to the Sea - Billy Brag

jimmymelrose

Swervedriver are the ultimate band to listen to whilst driving. Mostly because the guitars often sound like travel. The song names reflect this too: Song of Mustang Ford, Girl on a Motorbike, Duel, Planes over the skyline etc.

My favourite however must be Sunset

If you're feeling dangerous though, you could listen to 'Pile Up'

Lincsaddick

'Sweet Home Alabama': Lyrnd Skynyrd

and: L A Woman, The Doors ..... Ride like the Wind, Christopher Cross

Henry Irving

Judy Blue Eyes - CSNY

Weegie Addick

Has to be "Road to Nowhere" Talking Heads

Chris Rea wrote 'Driving Home for Christmas' about going back to Middlesborough.

He also wrote 'The Road to Hell' 

Conceptually they are the same song.
