All sorts of stuff. I mostly listen to the local classic rock station when I'm driving, as I can't really get into an album unless it's a long trip.
Radar Love, by Golden Earring, is perhaps the greatest driving song of all time.

Eve 6's Horrorscope. Possibly my favourite summer driving album ever, save the lone ballad which I think is track 5.

Not just any Led Zepplin... it must be "In the Evening"
Van Halen's "Summer Nights" (and, in fact, most of that album, 5150)is also suitable.
Surprisingly, Rush's Presto album also makes great driving music, along with A-ha's East of the Sun, West of the Moon but those are not likely to earn you any cool points. I guess it depends if the music is for you or for those listening.
For an interesting experiment, try Big and Rich's "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" which can only be described as "redneck rap" and is a hell of a lot of fun to cruise to, though unfortunately it's only a couple of minutes long.
Edit: I can't believe I left out Hendrix's "Crosstown Traffic" and Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love"

"Shoulder to the Wheel" by Saves the Day is a good driving song... as are all of AFI's first three albums... >_> Depends on what you're really going for, though. =)

Neil Young's records: "Comes a Time," "Harvest," and "Harvest Moon." (to name my three faves)

The classics: Radar Love, Born to be Wild, Magic Carpet Ride, Been a Long Time (Since I Rock 'n' Roll).
But also some more folksy stuff is good with the top down and the breeze in your hair: Friend of the Devil by the Dead, Judy Blue Eyes by CSN (don't forget Southern Cross, either).
Plus the first 10 songs on Great Big Sea's Road Rage album.
Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous. Dangerous... da da da! Da da da Oooooo.... just a little bit dangerous!

The Best Of the Moody Blues. Several of the songs are improvements over the original recordings.

The first thing that comes to my mind is Huey Lewis and the News, especially their stuff from the Back to the Future soundtrack, but Fore! and Sports would work as well.

No, but if you replace the ballad on Horrorscope with Open Road Song, then you've really got the perfect driving record Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000
