Good driving songs

joz*garage — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 13:37:21 GMT

The other week ..this came on the radio -> LINK

Glad they announced it otherwise i would not have remembered the title.

Sounded great on the road, especially equipped with a good 4 speaker sound system

B-)

Any P.Floyd songs does it for me.

An oldie that reminds me of the good ol' days cruising around town with my mates on a friday or saturday night... this song would come on [driving either my 74 monaro or 350 HQ statesman]....

Flash in a pan - hey saint peter.

No joke but Leonard Cohen is great to listen to on a long drive. A whole album.

Also.... damn! Can't remember the most famous driving song.

For me, it's the artist Jo. I'm on the road nearly three hrs each day so I need a large repertoire of music.

Imagine yourself - A warm summer night on the open road, with a sky full of stars, windows down, sunroof open or the top is down.

All alone, a piece of music starts to play.
