Favorite Cruising song

[txteach]

One of my guilty pleasures was going to the middle of Wyoming when I was in college (It is EXTREMELY desolate there) and getting the car going FAST! Some of my favorite cruising songs are

1. Magic Carpet Ride- Stepphenwolf- This one just get my blood boiling at high speeds.
2. Crazy Train-OZZY- The guitar is fantastic to drive to
3. More Human than Human-White Zombie- My current cruise song, got pulled over about a year ago sppeding and this song was screaming from my stereo. Luckily I only got a warning.
4. Last in Line-Dio- The guitar in this song coupled with the vocals makes me want to drive fast.
5. Communication breakdown-Led Zep- My favorite Wyoming song to speed to.

Sweet Emotion

Flirting With Disaster

Hot Rod Lincoln

BTW,
maybe it's because I just got old..... but I never go over the speed limit anymore :)

edited to add......
I had my car over 100 MPH in Wyoming once.....
Cant do that in Jersey :grin:

Anything by the Beach Boys is good if you're going nowhere special. If you need something to help with going faster,I found out you can't go wrong with Radar Love.

[thunderbolt]

my car music inclueds the Who, Queen, U2, Big Audio Dynamite. Can't really cruise in Florida traffic, just need music to help pass the time.

Already Gone - Eagles (notice a pattern here?)
Roll Me Away - Bob Seger

20 years ago, back in my late night cruises down river road (Mississippi River), there were two songs by the same artist that I loved and still love:

"Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" and "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins

"Interstate Love Song" by STP was great 10 years later.

[Goblin19]

If you're talking speed, then it's Crazy Train for me. That one gets me going.
Hot For Teacher would be second. You can't beat the opening drums.
