Driving tunes

csstrux · January 23rd, 2009, 05:24 PM

So I'm sitting here playing tunes off Jango for the kids to dance to, and running across some killer tunes to drive to. Maybe It's just me and what I do for a living, but I'm thinking I'm not alone having a few that just kind of give that mental imagery of a bulivard cruise, backroad barnstorming, or maybe a kamakasi run down the big road where the zipperline becomes nearly solid.

Ted Nugent stranglehold
satriani ride
styx blue collar man
great white rock me

A slew of others come to mind. My question is simply this.

What is your favorite driving tune, The one that would probably get you busted when your not paying attention to your driving

. You know the one that makes you

when you hear it, or the hammer starts to drop...You know the one. So spill...What's your fave?

Tom Cochrane. One of the many excellent Canadian artists who helped make MTV before it went to sh*t.

I like to drive to:

Foghat "Drivin' Wheel"

BOC "E.T.I." and "Buck's Boogie"

ANY Little Feat (Hoy Hoy!)

Kiss "Detroit Rock City"

Most Judas Priest

and of all things Gordon Lightfoot (another Canadien artiste par excellence!)

Bluevista · January 24th, 2009, 03:06 AM

The number one all time song that makes my right foot turn to lead and the red mist form in my eyes is Highway Star by Deep Purple.
Nobody gonna' take my car gonna' race it to the ground.

Lady72nRob71 · January 24th, 2009, 08:04 AM

Chad, I was really thinking of starting a thread like this - thank you for reading my mind!

My absolute favorite driving song is Tom Petty's "Running Down a Dream".
Not only is the tempo and intruments great, but the lyrics have a big meaning to Lady and I.

"Running down a dream, that never would come to me... Working on a mystery, going wherever it leads, running down a dream..."

That was exactly what I did when i flew half way across the country to get the car I always wanted and drove her home on a short vacation trip.
That song always gets my right foot heavy. Had the radio worked, I would have been listening to that song on the way home from South Carolina!

Second favorite is Chris Isaak's "Gone Riding".

Those two songs were used in a video I made of the trip to get Lady

The Outlaw's "Green Grass and High Tides" has some wicked guitar performances and ranks third.

Others tops include, but surely not limited to:
George Thorogood - Highway 49
Kentucky Headhunters - Ragtop
Outlaws - Ghost Riders in the Sky
George Thorogood - You Can't Catch Me
Deep Purple - Highway Star
Little Feat - Let it Roll
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Kathy Mattea - 455 Rocket
Little Village - She Runs Hot for Me
Tom Petty - Love is a Long Road
Eric Clapton - Hold On

And a few hundred more!

csstrux · January 24th, 2009, 08:09 AM

A few from left field, daft punk human after all, 2pac California dreamin, black lab this blood.

csstrux · January 24th, 2009, 08:14 AM

On the hwy for me it "Highway Star" by Deep Purple. At 75 miles per hour the the white lines on the road pass the car with the beat of the song. (Damn! I should have applied for a government grant before before making my study public

) The other driving song I like is "Summer of '69" by Brian Adams.

Bluevista · January 24th, 2009, 10:40 AM

I forgot my other all time top favorite car song.

Little GTO by Ronnie and the Daytonas.

Hmm...

Let's add some Marshall Tucker Band and Allman Brothers to the mix. Shoot, there's all kinds of good driving tunes. Lately I've been digging a German import CD called "Hammond Heroes"- all 60s British R&B instrumentals, heavy on grinding Hammond B3 organ work.

lowdynamo · January 24th, 2009, 07:58 PM

Brian Setzer Orchestra, and Royal Crown Revue passed the time for me in my weekly adventures.

Okay I will go ahead and date myself. Beachboys. And you have to include Bob Segar.

A good song for parking

is "My Daddy's Oldsmobile"...here, I'll sing some for you

My daddy bought this car before I was born.
Sure like the radio, I love the horn.
I love the great big shiny steerin' wheel,
Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile.

Four kids can sure fill up a big back seat.
They used to stop and get us something sweet.
Now Mamma says: "Let's pray for one good meal."
Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile.

Mama kisses us goodnight,
Daddy reads his paper in the dashboard light.
Crushes out his cigarette, says:
"Don't cry, honey, we ain't beat yet."

Another mornin' and we're up and gone.
Daddy says there's work in San Antone.
Two days of ridin', it ain't no big deal,
Here in my daddy's Oldsmobile.

Instrumental break.

Mama kisses us goodnight,
Daddy reads his paper in the dashboard light.
Crushes out his cigarette, says:
"Don't cry, honey, we ain't beat yet."

I'm going to date myself here...The first time I heard that song was in high school, I was on my way home from school, it was hot as all get out, and a storm was coming in. I had a 63 impala at the time big old bald 60's in the back. I was hauling tail, by the time that song ended, blowing rooster tails that seemed a mile long. Almost whiffed it coming around a corner when she started hydroplaning, but recovered. Man I was on top of the world for that three minutes or so! To this day, when I hear that song, I remember that brief moment in time and it makes me smile. Tom nailed it when he wrote that one

One day I might just run one down.

csstrux · January 25th, 2009, 06:59 AM

Thought of a couple more

L A Guns showdown off cocked and loaded
Saliva Always, Broken Sunday, or King of the stereo
I like saliva cause they hit it hard, in kind of an old school get down to basics way, I'm no music critic, so don't know the terms, but its kind of reminiscent of Of the way deep purple did it in highway star. Well I like it any way, and thought I'd share.

That is because those are assumed to be in everyone's driving mix!

Pure classics, in my book...

Along with
Sammy Hagar's Only one way to Rock
George Thorogood - Highway 49,
George Thorogood - You Can't Catch me,
Rush - Red Sector A,
AC/DC - For these about to Rock,
Outlaws - Hurry Sundown,
etc, etc......

I can go on forever with these...

Hot rod Lincoln, one of the early driving songs

redoldsman · January 25th, 2009, 10:28 AM

How do you guys keep your hands on the wheel when you are singing YMCA? I am going to say this thread has the potential to be one of the longest ever. Considering how many generations are represented here and how many songs are out there, this thing could go on forever. I have to include Jimmy Buffet's "Little Red Ragtop". It is not necessarily a great driving song but it is an appropriate song for my car. To my knowledge, it was never released as a single. Keep it going guys.

yogi442 · January 25th, 2009, 11:09 AM

definitely, "runnin down the hiway". Hot Rod Lincoln, and like a couple others here, dating myself but the old Beach Boys and Jan & Dean hits.

rocketraider · January 25th, 2009, 04:55 PM

Took a ride down to Red Hill (Patrick Henry's last home near Brookneal VA) this afternoon and grabbed a box of cassettes going out the door, not knowing what might be in it.

The hour each way drive was made enjoyable by the Swimming Pool Q's, Widespread Panic and Counting Crows. Adam Duritz has one of the best voices in rock and roll, and Jeff Calder and the Q's are among the most literate of the Southern rockers.

Yup. Gregg Allman was right. This road could go on forever.

Well I like it any way, and thought I'd share. __________________ Chad Greed: in psychology is an excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth

I am going to say this thread has the potential to be one of the longest ever. Considering how many generations are represented here and how many songs are out there, this thing could go on forever. I have to include Jimmy Buffet's "Little Red Ragtop". It is not necessarily a great driving song but it is an appropriate song for my car. To my knowledge, it was never released as a single. Keep it going guys. __________________ redoldsman

The hour each way drive was made enjoyable by the Swimming Pool Q's, Widespread Panic and Counting Crows. Adam Duritz has one of the best voices in rock and roll, and Jeff Calder and the Q's are among the most literate of the Southern rockers. Yup. Gregg Allman was right. This road could go on forever. __________________ I know absolutely nothing about Oldsmobiles. Just ask the owner of Oldspower.com
