I dont mind what genre, either Rock, Dance, Old School……. anything

Ill get the wheel rolling…(I’m clearly rock biased haha)

Steppenwolf – Born to be Wild (classic)
Metallica – Fuel
ACDC – Highway to Hell

For me, the best song I’ve heard whilst on the road is Bon Jovi’s Have a Nice Day.

I like it, slow, catchy, classic, sounds like it would be the background music in a movie during a meaningful car scene haha thanks

Tom Petty’s 2006 album “Highway Companion” is, appropriately, a great listen when you’re on the road, I reckon.

One of the very worst which was always on the car when I was a kid was the one that goea “wherever you go always take the weather with you” I hated it especially as in the North East it’s always chucking it down!

I haven’t driven in a while but mostly I used to love to listen to the sound of the engine. I’m not a big fan of Snow Patrol or Coldplay but I’ve always found their songs quite mellow and relaxing to drive to. I don’t like to have mad songs I’ll sing along to because then I’ll get carried away and crash :P

The Cardigans – My Favourite Game. Excellent driving song and it reminds me of Gran Turismo 2 – which is a good thing! :)

The best has to be from Cars. Rascall Flats – Life is a highway, and also the theme song, cant remember its name.

Once when driving through a glorious snow blanketed Cornish valley, the sun was setting and Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’ came on my iPod. I cranked up the volume and it was honestly one of the most epic things ever.

If you’re on B-Roads then some classical music can work a treat. Verdi’s ‘Anvil Chorus’, Bizet’s ‘Au Fond du Temple Saint’ and Elgar’s ‘Nimrod’ are regular driving music for me.

Other great driving songs I love:
Matt Monro – On Days Like These (watch out for the tunnels with this one though :P)
Led Zeppelin – Communication Breakdown
The Who – Won’t Get Fooled Again
Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mich and Tich – Hold Tight!
Muse – Hysteria
T-Rex – 20th Century Boy
Molly Hatchet – Flirtin’ With Disaster
The Skids – Into the Valley
Tom Robinson Band – 2-4-6-8 Motorway (Bit of cheese there)
David Bowie – Suffragette City
