LIKE A SONG.
I literally stomp on the gas when that song comes on. That song is like a speeding drug for me! I cue it up so that the intro is happening when I'm on the on-ramp, and when the song kicks in I'm punching it to merge
with past traffic.
Also, Do You Feel Loved is another adrenaline surge for me while driving. And Wire.
No road trip is complete without a start to finish listen through UF and JT, however.
Surrender when I engage the cruise control.
Fred Faulke or Redanka Magnificent for dancing behind the wheel (to the extent that one can do this safely, of course
)
(so yeah, a few U2 + driving faves
)
I agree with this and just about everything else posted in this entire thread!
JT is definitely the best U2 material to drive to, especially Trip Through, Streets and In God's Country.
I think the people who mentioned Pop and specifically DYFL, MOFO and live versions of LNOE are right on as well!
I tend to drive a bit faster during some: Like A Song, Gloria(don't ask why, don't know), I Will Follow, Desire and any live version of Until The End of the World. Nothing beats the time I got so into "Holy Joe"(the good version, closer to the KMart performance) and "Last Night On Earth" from Mexico back to back, looked up and saw the speedometer at 105! This was in my Dad's(now mine) Acura which rides on air and you don't feel speed if you climb up there slowly.
Ultraviolet is also awesome to drive to- like, in the middle of the night, on a highway in Vermont, slightly foggy, only car on the road. Its just magical- I've always pictured the headlights in the fog lighting up the road as the "ultraviolet" light. Actually, the last 3 songs of AB are all great to drive to when in the right mindset- a kind of dark foreboding to them with a hint of hope to come.
I have so many fond memories of driving the 225 miles between school and home and knocking off a bootleg or 2 each way, or JT B-sides or AB.
I have converted many a friend to U2 fandom by telling them "I'm going to put in a live show now, and whatever you think of these guys coming in, if you are not entirely blown away, we'll stop when the show is over and I'll buy dinner wherever you want, don't be stingy."
Safe to say, I never bought dinner, they bought albums.
