Can't believe no one has mentioned Red Barchetta by Rush or Machinehead by Bush. And there's always Bitchin' Camaro by the Suicidal Tendencies.

Yep, you're right. What's that line about remembering stuff and not really being there? :birra:
Life in the fast lane -- Eagles
Creedence Clearwater- Bad Moon Rising and Lookin' out my backdoor.
Molly Hatchet- Flirtin' with disaster.
Not songs about driving but great songs when you are driving. Should work nicely with some video. :035:
dang, three pages and this one hasn't been mentioned yet...
deep purple - highway star.
yup, another old fart.....seem like a lot of us here! :023:
It is in my case, Ray Lee. I'm so bad that corner workers usually petition the Steward of the Meet to require that I only drive cars equipped with a horn, so they can be warned of my impending arrival. :)Quote:
...Molly Hatchet- Flirtin' with disaster.

Here's a few nobody mentioned, :035:
"Falls Apart" by the Odds (Canadian, mid '90 band)
The First two tracks on the first Ambulance LTD album (showing my age?)
"Yoga Means Union" a very cool instrumental that sounds like a driving song followed by "Primative"
Also, possibly one of the best is "Drive Somewhere" from the Vulgar Boatmen's first album.
Let me know if you want me to burn these for you...maybe you can send them back with the others you've put together.

LOL!! Debbie and I were just listening to Rubber Soul over breakfast this morning!
Foghat sucks, and "Slow Ride" really stinks.

Little GTO is by Ronnie & the Daytonas. For Dave B.:"...You oughta see her on a road course or a quarter mile..." :)
And I think it's Hey Little Cobra by the Ripcords.
Yup, that old.
Jesus Built My Hot Rod by Ministry...specifically the Redline/White Line mix
Awesome
Yello - The Race
If You are going to use Queen songs,
"I'm in love with my Car" or
"Ride the Wildwind"
are the two car/racing themed ones.
"beep beep" - The Playmates
"Sparkplug" - The Radiators
And finally, I would think that for anyone who skied in the 80's, "Eruption" by VH would be good warm-up/qualifying music.
:035:
Metallica - Reload - Fixxxer No one knows about it, but badass song.
Metallica - Reload - Fuel "Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire."
Anything by Rob/White Zombie
I was actually driving my wifes car around the track on a lunch pace lap, BLAIRING White Zombie Electric Head and all of a sudden the nose of the car dove. She had this car for 2 weeks by this time and my first thought was I blew it up. Then I realized I was at 7Grand in Second. I just happened to be on the rev limiter :bash_1_:
LOL
If were goin Metallica gotta go old school... thought of one that I don't think has been mentioned: Damage, Inc.
"Cars" is performed by GARY Newman, not Paul. Paul acts, he don't sing.
"It's the only way to live, in cars."
Russ
If any REM song should make the list it would be "Drive" or "Driver Eight", no?
That Depeche Mode Route 66 mix is a good one, glad someone else knew of it...
Heard a cover of this on XM-Squizz the other day. Think it was by Fear Factory. I could get into that.Quote:

Johnny Cash---"I Got It One Piece At A Time..." :035:
Flight of the Bumble Bee

Yeah Tim, can't believe I missed Driver Eight. Another one I would add is "Interstate Lovesong" by STP.Quote:

And one of my favorite driving CDs is the original Box of Frogs album (let's see how many people know that one)
4 pages and no ZZ Top suggested yet? Any of their old stuff.
Not enough of us old f**ts here. Maybe we should start our own IT class......ITAntique?Quote:

ITGottagetanothercar
Thought about ZZ Top, but all that came to mind was "Legs" and "Sharp Dressed Man"...great songs, but not driving music. I don't have anything from the early years.
"Jessica" by the Allman Brothers
I guess I was never clear about whether this thread was about great songs to drive to, or great songs about driving. Some songs about driving/cars I wouldn't want to drive to....too slow!
Woops, my bad about Gary Neuman. What do you want, Im a racing fan and Paul Newman races. :-p
Oh, and NO ONE has mentioned Low Rider by War??
Raymond, Baby You Can Drive My Car is by the Beatles. That "Beep beep beep beep YEAH!" thing is a lyric from the song, not a song in itself. I may not be 30 yet, but my mother was a hippie reject. hehe.
Yeah still working on downloading songs... or getting the girlfriend to do it for me...
anyway came across this website today while working on work stuff... might be of interest for music, also lots of other Road Trip info that you might find handy :)

On the track: "Got Me Under Pressure", though the lyrics have nothing to do with cars. ;)Quote:

On the road to/from the track: "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide".
That's your queue for lyrics DB! :035: :lol:
'RIde of the Valkyrie' from Apocalypse Now, or any other good performance
You mean like the performance by Mr E Fudd? or the song where Mr O Osbourne parodies him.Quote:
'RIde of the Valkyrie' from Apocalypse Now, or any other good performance

perfect for non-vw drivers. B)
in terms of sound/momentum/cadence, I would think there are a slew of good Paul Okenfold's stuff from a half dozen years ago, Hybrid and the whole surf-esque progressive music from the Police's early (French named) albums (sort of take your pick - I am partial to "No Time This Time") - to bands like JFA and Agent Orange.
If you could just ditch the lyrics altogether, I'd say The Connells "Scotty's Lament" and several songs off The Smiths "The Smiths" and "Hatful of Hallow" - just mute the lyrics ;)
But for really getting _that_ sound, I think it begins and ends w/ John Lee Hooker's "Shake It Baby" and Drivin' n' Cryin' "Scarred But Smarter" -- and if you've run a CRX into a wall, both songs are probably as apt lyrically as musically LOL
Driver 8? Bitchin' Camaro?? Man, you guys have a much different concept of racing music than me LOL
Half of Bitchin' Camaro was spoken word, stuff about "my folks driving the car up from the Bahamas" - "you're kidding?" - "Of-course I am, the Bahamas are islands " ... that's not giving me that momentum visual on the race track.
"Driver 8 take a break, you've been on this shift too long" ?? - sounds like "Pit Crew for the 24hr Music" thread
Now if you insist on REM and Dead Milkmen, I'd propose "Carnival Of Sorts (Box Cars)" (does REM admit to making Chronic Town, Murmur, Fables and Reckoning anymore? :) ) for the former and uhm .... hell, even Big Lizard doesn't quite get it ... "Filet of Sole" maybe??
Still unclear as to the intent of the search. Is it for great "driving songs" or great "car" songs, or great "driving songs about cars"?
Bill M. got the top of my list with "Red Barchetta" by Rush (I routinely change the words in my head to Red Carrera. :D
Other "driving" songs although with little racing relevance:
New World Man - Rush
YYZ - Rush
Between the Wheels - Rush
Afterimage - Rush
Smokin' - Boston
All The Way - Triumph
Dreams - Van Halen
Girl Gone Bad - Van Halen
Judgement Day - Van Halen
I'm sure I could come up with plenty of others, but that's a pretty good start.
Foot tapping music for sure, speeding ticket music at worst, always works for me!
Shoot, just about any of the cuts from "The Dukes of Hazzard Movie". Not Oscar material, but the soundtrack kicks. Got some good stuff on it. The weak point is Jessica Simpson trying to do Nancy Sinatra. Something about the suggestion of sex being more erotic than the display of sex. :o
