I was watching Top Gear last night when they announced their competition for best driving song ever. They didn't nominate any they just said to email/phone with suggestions.

that got me thinking, what is your fave driving song?

first thing to pop into my head was Rearviewmirror. I made a Neil Young compilation a while ago which was great to drive to, it had live versions of cortez the killer, down by the river, hurricane etc. On the same sort of line, Led Zeppelin - Achilles last stand, Black Sabbath - Paranoid are good to drive to. I also quite like driving to some hip-hop, particularly talib kweli - reflection eternal.


your thoughts?

It might be Open Road


Tonight i feel ambitious and so does my foot, as it sinks on the pedal
I press it to the floor
I don't need a girl
Don't need a friend
Cuz my friend lonesome's unconditional
We're fyling forever bored

For a moment i love everything that I see, and think, and feel
I love my borken sideview mirror
Cuz it's so perfect
I'm so perfect
You're so perfect
You're not here!
I hear the change in gears

My pile shakes as i hit 80' on the open road
This is an open road song

The night is beckoning
Although i have nowhere to go but home, feels good to be alone
With every turn comes a new frame of mind
If i could frame mt mind
Where would it hang?

My pile shakes as i hit 80' on the open road
My pile shakes as i hit 80' on the open road
My pile shakes as i hit 80' on the open road
This is an open road...song!

I crack a window
And feel the cool air cleanse my every pore
As i pour my poor heart out
To a radio song that's patient and willing to listen
My volume drowns it out
Ya, but that's okay cuz i sound better then him anyway
Anyday!
Ya, my voice is sweet as salt
I search for comfort and i find it where i found it many times before
Times before it could be forgotten

My pile shakes as i hit 80' on the open road
My pile shakes as i hit 80' on the open road
My pile shakes as i hit 80' on the open road
This is an open road...song!

Pele - Nude Beach, Pin Hole Camera

It's a jazz instrumental song and I should be used in a PBS special. It screams driving song.

next to Rearviewmirror, the first thing that comes to my mind is:

Nah, Whisky in the Jar is by far the better cover. And the better driving song also.
