A short while ago the topic of favourite driving songs came up, and I'd like to hear some of yours! It's always good to get some new things to add to the collection. So, whether you're belting out Metallica while thrashing your BMW or cruising to some Coltrane, let's hear 'em!

I'll get things started. In no particular order, here are some of mine....

The Clash - Safe European Home
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Metallica - Battery

Good choices Otis

I'd have to say anything by Metallica or almost anything by the Beach Boys.

Bowitabowdbangdebangboogie - Kid Rock
Rock N Roll - Led Zeppelin
Come Monday - Jimmy Buffet

We have a radio station here in Tampa, 97.1FM that is so good that I got rid of my XM radio!

diablojota · 22 September 2006, 02:43 PM

...And Justice for All - Metallica
Big Country - Bela Fleck & the Flecktones
Grey Street - Dave Matthews Band
The Zephyr Song - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Just about anything Dave Matthews, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blues Traveler...

My favourite driving song is:-

"There are ten thousand million billion trillion bottles of beer on the wall"

Always great for those looooooong journeys.

Ahh...Eurythmic I think it was. That's a good song

I think I've got a bit of a guilty penchant for 80's rock women too...
I'd have to list Pat Benetar - Heartbreaker on the list too!

JJ Irani · 23 September 2006, 08:12 PM

That's right - Eurhythmics - it was on the tip of my tongue, you tosser!!

Thanks JJ! Yes, a fine NATO or Carbon strap on a SD

You're quite an inspiration, I would never have thought of that combo!

Could you make one half NATO, and the other Carbon?

Now that would become a frankenwatch...

No, my friend. Frankenwatch would be too good a name for that. I can think of a few choice names, but this is a family forum!!
