@NeoBlackdog got me thinking with his GoGos vs Bangles thread.
What is your favorite song to listen to when you're in a mood to do some serious driving? You know the kind of driving I'm talking about: the need to drive just because you can.
I gotta go with "Radar Love" from Golden Earring though "Red Barchetta" from Rush is a very very close second.

Convoy! and "Thank God and Greyhound" by Roy Clark ------------------Ray
Radar Love without a doubt ................
I agree on Radar love
I use to do a lot of cruising on the weekends and evenings in town when it was the thing to do and every one was out not locked away playing video games
And of also a little street racing 😁 so I truly loved the car songs back in the day
little duce coupe
born to be wild
I cant drive 55
mustang sally
life is a highway
GTO
shut down
racing in the streets
not so much a driving song but Paradise by the Dash board Lights
little Honda
slow ride
I guess for me any way just too car and driving songs to pick a true favorite
On the road again ,Willie Nelson .
Radar Love has always been a favorite. On my IPOD I still have a "Road Songs" section that I fire up when on long trips by myself (my bride does not appreciate my volume levels) Don't fear the Repper and My Woman from Tokyo also come to mind...
@Ditch-Runner , great list there.
Steppenwolf, Born to be Wild and Magic Carpet Ride.
Ram Jam on a loop and a 2 liter of Code Red. What happened to Oregon? As in did I drive past it?
Also be scared if you ever see me reaching for Slayer for my tape deck.
Top Gun soundtrack......."Highway To The Danger Zone"
Barry White and his Love Unlimited Orchestra.....Love's Theme
I can feel the wind in my hair when I listen to this.

NONE. I don't want ANYthing to distract me from my #1 job.
"But nothing bothers me tonight
I can dodge all the scales allright
Six days on the road, and I'm a gonna make it home tonight..."
I have dodged lots of scales. It is an art form.
...1. Radar Love & 2. Highway To Hell...
Almost forgot
East bound and down from
Smokey and the bandit movie
Truckin by the Grateful Dead. Going up the country by Canned Heat. Me and Bobby McGee by Janis Joplin.
If I ever wanted one, it'd be Proud Mary (Rollin' Down the River) by CCR.
Muskrat Love--Captain and Tennile

I wanna party with this guy!! WooHoo!
Too heavy for me.

Sammy Hagar I can't drive 55
austin, my head knows it's "on" but my fingers thought it was "down".
Back in the Game by Airbourne, from Australia. Many of their songs are heavily influenced by AC/DC, understandably.

Highway Song by Blackfoot
Original Hawaii 5 O theme music.
Classical music, Beethoven, Dvorak, Mozart, etc.
Those are some excellent choices. The Hawaii 5 O opening theme is the best of all time.

Dave Dudley
Have to throw in an honoral mention for Born to be wild as done by Steve N Seagulls with a side order of Thunderstruck
Marty Robbins, Out in the West Texas town of El Paso....
Born to Be Wild says it all
No mention of The Proclaimers?
We're an American Band, no matter what version. Gets my blood pumping.
Hells Bells, if you don't know the group go stick yer head in some concrete for a week.
Kraftwerk Autobahn
