I used to keep a CD in my Mustang of just driving music for when I would race. Disc 1 in the changer. What is your top 3 driving songs? For me its:

Deep Purple - Highway Star
Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart
Ministry - Jesus Built My Hot Rod

Pretty cheesy huh? For some reason those 3 songs make me drive faster than any other songs out there. Other than maybe the tripped out keyboard solo in Highway Star and the slow part in Kickstart My Heart. I never lost to Kickstart My Heart. There are several good candidates but I like those 3.

"Song 2" - Blur
It's my life - Bon Jovi
Move bi*** - Ludacris

and last but not least, "Little red Corvette" - Prince :roll: Just playin with ya.

1. Sammy - "I Can't Drive 55"
2. Highway Star
3. Hmmmm... Let me think about it. I'll get back to you later.

Now that's a tough but enjoyable question, ok here it goes and I can handle the abuse :p: Ranked in no particular order.

Black Flag - TV Party, Six Pack - all of Everything went Black.
Machinehead - Real Eyes
Dayglo Abortions - All of Feed us a Fetus

Ok, now I am going over 3, but it is tough

Blackfoot - Train, Train
MDC - Multi Death Corporations
Pearl Jam - Any and All

Why does it have to be 3 songs especially when you have a 6 in dash CD changer, that accepts MP3's and portable Music devices to interface with

I was trying to keep it short and simple. We coud do a general favorite music or whats in your changer post.

Machinehead has been through so many line up changes I don't even know. That would have been nice to see them on their 1st tour! Surfers live back in the day was just a censory overload....Hey, Black Flag made it on 2 lists! :p:

Overall, nice diversity of music from everyone!

Found this thread, figured its good so I'm gonna bring it back!

My Top 3:

1.) 'Til My Heart Beats Down Your Door - Europe
2.) Government Man - Europe
3.) Bad Blood - Europe

HHR Forever, man did you resurrect an old thread. I didn't know the website had been around that long.

My favorite song - Bob Seger's "Like a Rock". What else do you listen to in your Chevy? As for long trips, I put on George Straits 50 #1 hits and sing my way to my destination!

G.T.O. by Ronny and the Daytonas
Sleeper by the Trashmen
409 by the Beach Boys

ahh hell there is alot of them....well ones that i always seem to go thru my mp3 disc to find are :

1. anthrax - "Only"
2. pretty much alot of the W.A.S.P. songs i have on there, e.g. Scream Untill You Like it, Wild Child, Blind In Texas
3. black sabbath - neon knights
4 some ACDC and/or ALOT of KISS
and believe it or not, LMFAO im embarassed to say, Olivia Newton John - Magic or Xanadu :nuts:

Lamb of God - "Rise Again"
Tie-- Mudvayne - "Determined", "Dig", "Just"
Pantera - "Cowboys from Hell" or "Revolution is my name"

I have a lot of driving music. I think that's the aim of Rob Zombie in every song he creates... As if he says, "Hell yea... I'd drive to that."

Skynards Cocaine
Iron Butterfly
Santana
zzTops
I like the 60-70's the best good driving music,
Okay I have newer ones but you can not beat The Rose.

route 66- AATW
Heartbreaker- LZ
Crosstown Traffic- JH

Roxette - The Look
Def Leopard - Pour Some Sugar On Me
Haddaway - What Is Love

IF we could only have three...

Here are the SoCal Crew's top picks:

Sharp Dressed Man - ZZ Top
Radar Love - Golden Earring

and don't forget!

Born to Be Wild! - Steppenwolf

it's hard to limit to 3, but here goes:
Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins (don't ask me why but it gets me revved up in the car)
Highway Song - Blackfoot
China Grove _Doobie Brothers (one of my all-time favorite songs)

Okay, I have to divide this into two lists. Bear with me.

Top 3 INSTRUMENTAL driving songs:

3: Superman theme (John Williams) -- especially going on an on-ramp. :lol:
2: Beethoven's 9th -- sentimental favorite.
1: Tank! (Yoko Kanno) -- jazzy big-band sounding instrumental with the most testicular saxophone solo ever recorded.

Top 3 VOCAL driving songs:

3: Holding Out for a Hero (Bonnie Tyler)
2: Thunderstruck (AC/DC)
1: Bat Out of Hell (Meat Loaf)

Of course there's so many more really good pieces of music ... just about all of "Bat Out of Hell 3" is good ... an oddball one that I found was pretty good that I've had as driving music was (don't laugh) "White and Nerdy" by Weird Al Yankovic. :nuts:

1. Joe Satriani - Surfing with the alien
2. Carlos Santana - Europa
3. Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

1) In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins
2) I Don't Care Anymore - Phil Collins
3) Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day

Helter Skelter...The Beatles
Whipping Post...Allman Brothers
Starship Trooper...Yes

For all you classic rock fans with an XM radio in your HHR, tune to 46. They play only the good stuff!

You know, this should really be the three best albums instead of songs. Although, many of you have listed some great ones I've forgotten about.

- Cars by Fear Factory.
- My friend Dario by Vitalic.
- Show me how to live by Audioslave.

Holy old thread revival Batman!!:thumb:

1. Eminence Front - The Who

2. Green Onions - Booker T and the MG's

3. Take Five - The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Like some of the choices here, but here's a couple new ones.....

3. Hot Rod Lincoln - Commander Cody (there's actually the original from the 50's by who-knows-who, but Commander Cody's is just as good, if not better....)

2. Radar Love - Golden Earring

1. Makin' Thunderbirds - Bob Seger and the Silve Bullet Band

3 - "I Need You Tonight" ZZ Top (it's for a quiet suburban driving);

2 - "Shot Of Love" AC/DC (active, vigorous driving);

1 - "Fantom" Chizh & K (driving on the verge of foul)

Of course, I have a full discography of this artists. And many more.
