Okay, this is probably as off-topic as it gets, but we're still in the off-topic forum, so here goes:
I'm starting to get tired of listening to the same CDs over and over in the car, so I figured I might just as well collect a nice custom collection of driving songs.
I already have a preliminary list, but suggestions are welcome. A few parameters:
Without further ado, here's the list I have so far. Contributions are welcome!
Additional songs I'm considering:

I'm starting to get tired of listening to the same CDs over and over in the car, so I figured I might just as well collect a nice custom collection of driving songs.
I already have a preliminary list, but suggestions are welcome. A few parameters:
- Most songs on the list below are explicitly about driving, but this is not a necessity. Songs that are not explicitly about driving, but naturally lend themselves to driving are welcome too. The danger, however, is that it then just becomes a selection of favourite songs, possibly losing sight of the driving perspective.
- I can tolerate a wide range of music but as you can see from the list I'm predominantly into rock - hard or soft, new or old (although mostly old).
- Seeing as I'm Dutch, the list unavoidably contains a few songs in Dutch and/or by bands unknown outside the Netherlands. I put those in italic, so there's no need to feel ashamed if they don't ring a bell.
- The music must fit on a CD, but because my car radio understands MP3 it can be a CD of MP3s, so there's plenty of space.
Without further ado, here's the list I have so far. Contributions are welcome!
- The Allman Brothers - Jessica (Top Gear theme, must be the opener)
- Golden Earring - Radar Love
- Golden Earring - Going to the Run
- Golden Earring - Another 45 Miles to Go
- Queen - I'm In Love With My Car
- Queen - Breakthru
- Queen - Don't Stop Me Now
- AC/DC - Highway to Hell
- AC/DC - Heatseeker
- Sniff'n The Tears - Driver's Seat (Warning: jeopardises driving license!)
- Slash's Snakepit - Be the Ball (ditto)
- Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
- 100% Katoen - Status Quotes (if you must know, this is a truly awesome medley of Status Quo songs by one of the best cover bands in the Netherlands, feel free to ask for the MP3 (perfectly legal, don't worry) if you're into that sort of music)
- Steppenwolf - Born to Be Wild
- Mark Knopfler - Speedway at Nazareth
- Motorhead - Ace of Spades (as seen on Top Gear, with a Lotus Exige evading missile lock from an Apache helicopter)
- Alice Cooper - Halo of Flies
- Mr. Mister - Broken Wings (probably only makes sense if you've seen the video)
- Geri Halliwell - Scream If You Wanna Go Faster (not her best work, but at least it's about driving)
- Normaal - Oerend Hard
- Deep Purple - Highway Star
- Alice Cooper - Under My Wheels
- Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone (if you've been living on Mars for the last few decades, go see the movie Top Gun)
Additional songs I'm considering:
- Velvet Revolver - Big Machine
- AC/DC - Ride On (on topic, but kinda slow)
- Sheryl Crow - Every Day Is a Winding Road
- Queen - Radio Ga Ga
- Queen - Ride the Wild Wind
- Deep Purple - Speed King
Bands/artists I'm missing (any appropriate songs?):
- Dire Straits
- Bon Jovi
- Aerosmith
- Rolling Stones
- Guns N' Roses
- Van Halen
- Pink Floyd
- probably others, too...
