Greatest non-country driving songs
vanity | 02-28-2005 | Me

Posted on 02/28/2005 12:19:14 PM PST by redangus

Just for levity and to give us all a respite from the troubles of the world, I would like to throw out a question. What do you consider to be the greatest non-country driving songs of all time. So far my list contains the following:

Radar Love (In my opinion the absolute best)-Golden Earring; Magic Carpet Ride-Steppenwolf; Riders On The Storm-The Doors; Two Tickets To Paradise-Eddie Money; Born to Be Wild-Steppenwolf; Born To Run-Bruce Springsteen; Paradise by the Dashboard Lights-Meatloaf; Fire-Jimmie Hendrix; Hollywood Nights-Bob Seeger

So what do you think? Let's here your suggestions.

"Midnight Rider," "Ramblin' Man," and "Melissa" by the Allman Brothers would all make my Top Ten, too.

When I am out of the city, I like having instrumental "new age" music playing. If you are viewing nice open scenery, the soothing music helps to enhance the experience.

I've used these as background in home videos I've produced and received compliments on them.

Now, as to pop songs with lyrics, I guess I like what I like whether it's in the car or not. The tunes you named are good.

Anything from ZZ Tops 1st 5 albums. Especially La Grange, Arrested for Driving While Blind, and Pan Am Highway Blues. Nothing else comes close.
