Favourite Driving Songs?

[Old Ryder]

If it is just nice listening music-- Bill Mize is one of the unknown good ones. Not much good on a bike in the wind, but good stuff.

What else do you guys like?

Many great ones have already been mentioned.
A couple I'd add:

Hollywood Nights - Bob Seger - great driving beat.

Ride of the Valkyries - Richard Wagner - classical, big sound, you'll remember it from the excerpts that were used during a dawn chopper attack scene in Apocalypse Now.

[Travelor]

Trucking - Grateful Dead
The Race Is On - Sawyer Brown (especially the rocking bass instrumental parts)
Tonight the Heartache's on Me - Dixie Chicks

Anything by Hank Williams, Jr., especially "Family Tradition". Lynard Skynard is also a favorite. Throw in some Buffett's "Why don't we get drunk" and I can ride all day.

Being an Aussie you can't go past anything from AC/DC. Particuarly Shoot to Thrill and Thunderstruck. Just yesterday I was out riding with the stereo cranked up with 'Shoot to Thrill' playing. There were a couple of young lads further up the road collecting firewood, they heard me coming and as I went past they were headbanging in tune. Was one of them cool moments when your riding and everything is just perfect.

Some of my favorites are:

Supertramp "Take the long way home"
The Cars " Let the good times roll"
Billy Idol " Mony Mony"
Billy Idol " White wedding"
Van Halen " Runnin with the devil"
Huey Lewis " I want a new drug"

These three I can only use on the open highways as they can cause me to receive "performance awards" from the men in blue.

Steppenwolf " Magic carpet ride"
ZZ Top " La Grange"
ZZ Top " Tush"

And when rolling off said highways into small towns, speed traps, or school zones, crank this one into your headset.

Pink Floyd " Comfortably Numb" ( disclaimer: you may find yourself sitting at stop signs and traffic signals for extended periods of time" ) thus possibly receiving an "under-performing" award from the men in blue.
