    No Easy Way Out - Survivor.

    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.

    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.

    I thought the Road to Hell was about the M25?

    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.

    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.
