Nothing beats Elevation and Mofo.

Beautiful day is great when you are stuck in traffic.

Oh, and for me, Miami. I like to yell Miami in an angry tone directed at other drivers.

Bullet the Blu Sky
Some Days Are Better Than Others
Sunday Blood Sunday
If God Will Send His Angels
Spanish Eyes

[RedRocksU2]

Great question.....

When I'm driving around Las Vegas at night, I like to play "I still haven't found what I'm looking for".
It reminds me of that video.

Windows down, air flowing in, sound full blast........people giving you thumbs up.

 

[JCOSTER]

POP or the cd I made with just Melodies of U2, Best of's.

 

[craigp]

Last night on Earth. It was recorded for driving, just look at the video!!

 

[U2bpbear24]

MOFO

heartland is a good one too

 

[financeguy]

Heartland (perfect if you've had a long day and you drive home)

Agreed. In fact I think Rattle and Hum on the whole is a great driving album.

 

[RickFly]

in gods country
ultra violet (light my way)heartland
the fly

 

[roy keane]

in god's country is the best

 

[XHendrix24]

This is something that new U2 is probably the best for, in my opinion.

City of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
Elevation
Beautiful Day
Last Night on Earth
Mofo
The Fly
I Will Follow
Gloria



Edit: Though, at night, New Years Day if by far the best song to drive to. Just awesome.

How has no one said Fast Cars? I love balsting that one on the highway.

 

[XHendrix24]

I'm honestly surprised that not many people have listed City of Blinding Lights. I mean, how can you not just completely floor it when Bono starts belting out "TIIIIMMMMEEEE WON'T LEEAAAVVEE ME AS I AMMM"?!

It's just exhilarating.

And I want to go out driving now.

 

[one4u2]

Zooropa

 

[goincommando]

Funny story actually. I was driving home from work, traffic was the worst I had seen in years, and the whole office had gotten word that lay offs were looming forward. To put it lightly, I was pissed. I cranked Exit (it always seemed like a perfectly building song to me), I was so into the song that I didnt' realize how fast I was going, and I would up getting a ticket.

 

[2orangecats]

Beautiful day
Fast cars (yes! powerhour24)
just about all of achtung baby

 

[Tiger Edge]

I have a Pavlov effect with Mofo. Now whenever I hear it I put my right foot down, hard.

 

[1stepcloser]

The Unforgettable Fire for night time. just got the atmosphere thing going on. Quality.

 

[heyho_letsgo]

Both Streets and COBL have this build for me, and I start by going like, 60, and all of a sudden I'm belting out OH YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUUUUL TONIGHT and I'm going 95. Whoops.

Beautiful Day is also pretty great for driving, and I really like listening to Red Light at night while in the car. I utterly adore listening to New Year's Day while driving in winter, surrounded by snow (Although I think my best NYD moment was when I was at a ski race, and they played it right before my run for me over the PA. Best motivation ever.)

Good thread.
