Recently it has been Sailing Away by Styx. Thanks One Piece Live Action. But also the entire Bat Out of Hell Album.

Boys of Summer by Don Henley is always one of my go-tos

[-]

Afraid-Astronomer886@reddit

Boys of summer, either the Don Henley or Dj Sammy version

[-]

Amazing-Heron-105@reddit

DJ Sammy version is a guilty pleasure. Millennial nostalgia fuel.

[-]

YouWascallyWabbit@reddit

Both good, but for me, Don Henley every time. On a sunny day, this made even the drive home from work epic.

[-]

MadamKitsune@reddit

This is my first choice too, but as you (and so many other people!) have suggested it I'm going to throw in my favourite follow up track - Eloise by The Damned.

If the car isn't close to vibrating then it isn't loud enough and singing along is compulsory.

[-]

Amazing-Heron-105@reddit

Just whack on the Fleetwood Mac Best of. Wall to wall bangers.

[-]

AgileSloth9@reddit

These people need to get off my private race track (public roads) when The Chain comes on

[-]

ihathtelekinesis@reddit

One time it was playing as i was driving through a village, and the beat dropped at the exact moment the speed limit went back up to 60.

Best driving moment ever.

[-]

Cuznatch@reddit

As someone who lives rurally, I know the exact point to press play on The Chain to have the wailing guitars kick in as I get to a nice straight 60 stretch.

Any song from American beauty by the grateful dead. And A horse with no name by America

[-]

It changes, right now it’s a toss up between Guns n Roses - Don’t Cry, and Aerosmith - Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing. Something about the classics makes for a nice drive for me. Love a few French oldies on a late night drive too

[-]

SnooMacarons9618@reddit

I used to have a double cd of 50s, 60s and 70s French pop. That was perfect driving through the night (or early morning) music.

[-]

getoutmywayatonce@reddit

Oh what a blast! Do you remember any favourites from it? 😁

[-]

SnooMacarons9618@reddit

Looked it up. It's called 'a French affair' but seemingly there were different double CDs with the same name.

Je t'aime moi non plus, Michelle, Chanson d'amour, She, etc. It's definitely a late summer night driving album. My rip has some tracks missing, I need to go fix that as soon as possible :)

[-]

chez2202@reddit

I don’t have an ultimate one but I do have a few suggestions.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. Little Red Corvette by Prince.

Not vehicular related are Firestarter or Breathe by The Prodigy, In Da Club by 50 Cent, This Must Be The Place by Talking Heads, Mysterious Ways by U2 and Drama by Erasure.

Yes, I have extremely varied tastes.

[-]

Sad-Masterpiece-4760@reddit

Breathe is a far better song than Firestarter and nobody will ever change my mind

[-]

chez2202@reddit

I totally agree.

[-]

IrritablePowell@reddit

One magical day, Halycon + On + On by Orbital came on in my playlist as I was leaving home for work. The beat kicked in as I hit the main road, and the song finished as I pulled in to the car park at work. I tried to replicate the experience since then but it has never aligned so perfectly again. But it's a great track for driving anyway.

[-]

datguysadz@reddit

Disco Lights by Darren Styles always takes me back to 2008 when my friends and I were first passing our tests and razzing it round on the evenings on a McFlurry run.

A lot of people my age would probably say something by like H "Two" O featuring Platnum or T2 or something. Very late-2000s UK driving

It was on my California playlist when I went there last year, got a vintage mustang from Turo and had a few moments when I had to tell myself to calm down, when this song was one of them.

Everything in its Right Place - Radiohead. I once drove across the North Yorkshire moors after a gig in Whitby back to Derby, Toyota MR2 Mk3, guitar strapped in the passage seat, around late August, 1am with the top down, this tune cranked, no one else on the road, the perfect drive home. A really strong driving tune connection.

As soon as the pace of the song increases so does my speed

[-]

notenoughritalin@reddit

When the guitar solo kicks in....🤟🏼

[-]

Hearthacnut@reddit

Hot take: the start of the solo is the 2nd best part of the song. Listen from 7:20 and pay attention to the bass building up in the background, and then when it breaks down at 8:10. Masterpiece

[-]

Upstairs_Yogurt_5208@reddit

I have to remember that I’m driving when the solo kicks in. There’s been a few times where I go into the zone and almost crash the bloody car.

[-]

pharmer25@reddit

Smalltown Boy - Bronski Beat

[-]

I'm nearly forty and my mum used to listen to 80s music when I was wee and now I'm finding I love these songs.

Smalltown boy is just timeless. I think we have a privilege in this era where bands are coming along, inspired by artists from before their time, and reinvigorating genres.

Also I love singing the part "....always a lonely bawy" 😂

Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age. It has to be the full album because the album itself is a road trip and the songs come up on various local radio stations as you drive through the desert.

Free Bird. Driving home late from a gig recently, I joined a slip road to a dual carriageway just as the solo hit.

Going from 20mph to 70, on an empty road late at night, with Free Bird playing loud, I felt on top the world 🤣

But of a story. Bar worker, mid 80's, and at end of night, the bar owner was pissed, so I had to drive him in his open-topped Merc, back to his rural Aberdeenshire home. Did that journey in basic silence, with just his grumbling.

Returning alone to Aberdeen at 1.00am, I stuck on the cassette player and heard, for the first time, the full version of Papa Was A Rolling Stone, by The Temptations. Warm summer night, pitch black sky, Milky Way overhead, and THAT intro at high volume. Once experienced, never forgotten.

Still Tippin' - Mike Jones ft Paul Wall & Slim Thug. I actually mostly listen to death metal, but pretty much every day when I ride out this is the first song I put on. Its my ritual for years, and its just timeless.

When I'm running late tho, it's gotta be that Harry Shotta Dub Zone track. That one's been getting mad reloads since I was in school.

Out Of Touch so I can pretend I'm playing Vice City.

When my wife drives I play only 80s metal on the motorway because she's terrifying.

83mph in a tiny Kia Picanto riding the arse of Range Rovers while Painkiller by Judas Priest plays.

Usually a very timid women. Lunatic behind the wheel

When I was at University we lived in the city but our Uni was on campus. I lived with 5 other girls, and my friend and I were the only one’s with cars.

By default we were regularly 3-4 people, on the drive in to uni (especially final year).

If anyone had an exam / assessment / bad mood - ‘Good Day - Nappy Roots’, was on.

I don’t even remember how or why we started it, but it’s now survived holiday karaoke, birthdays, 4am’s, and hen do’s.

I still queue it for my drive into work.
