i've got 3 bruce springsteen mix tapes that get re-tracklisted each summer (they're on version #3 now). those are my favorite thing to listen to while driving.

or riding as the case may be, since i still don't have my license. and i'm well over 16.

 

[martha]

I didn't get my license till I was 24.

Radar Love by Golden Earring may be a bit of a cliche, but it's a great driving song.

Get Down Moses by Joe Strummer
Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead (Ok almost all of OK Computer then)
Discotheque by some damn group usually makes me have to keep one eye on the rearview

 

[MrBrau1]

Listen To The Music- The Doobie Brothers.

I might make a playlist of this on my iPod to drive to.

I made several cd car mixes which I use. Right now they are all The Church songs. I have one early Church, a couple mid period Church, and a couple recent Church. (yep, I really am obsessed )

I do have to be careful though about my song choices, as I was listening to one of their cds while driving and kept spacing out and nearly drove off the road. So I'm probably not the best choice for picking driving music.
