Somewhere I've got an album "American Heartbeat" full of suitable driving songs:
Side One: Eye of the Tiger - Survivor Rosanna - Toto Who's Crying Now - Journey Don't Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult Babe - Styx Take It on the Run - REO Speedwagon Dance Hall Days - Wang Chung More than a Feeling - Boston
Side Two: Africa - Toto Harden My Heart - Quarterflash Keep on Loving You - REO Speedwagon Carry on Wayward Son - Kansas Heat of the Moment - Asia I Got You - Split Enz American Heartbeat - Survivor Hold the Line - Toto
It's such a good driving tune that Rocky IV dedicated and entire driving montage to it. No Rocky fan can listen to this song in a car without staring into the middle distance while remaining inexplicably straight on the road.

That's by Robert Tepper I think. Great song, I made a mix full of Rocky and 80s soundtrack stuff when I was training for a half-marathon. Hearts on fiiire!!
Trouble is for me, not that I do not not appreciate music when I'm driving, is that the thread title slams of a Top Gear generation/ 70 & 80s soft cock rock/ smashie and nicey syndrome.
Anyways, mine would be Paris Angels , Perfume (all on you)

Yes you're right - Burning Heart is impressive as it sums up the plot halfway through the movie, perhaps to help out those too distracted by product placement to follow events. "Is it east versus west, or man against man?"

Among all those huge American bands, nice to see Wang Chung. I saw them as Huang Chung at the Clarendon pub in Hammersmith in 1981, before Geffen changed their name and they emigrated to the States. Good band.

Which is a bit rich, coming from a Smoggie. If he didn't like it he could always fuck off back to the khazi that is Middlesbrough.
