Help me built the "Ultimate Driving Music Playlist"

[GilpinGuy]

What's your #1 driving song?

I'm driving overnight to Iowa Thursday night. I'll pick up the wife from work at 2300 and we're gone. She will crash immediately. I'm looking for the best driving tunes for the 11-12 hour ride.

I'll probably just build a playlist from this thread, in order - hopefully there's stuff I haven't thought off or even heard of.

I'm into almost anything from Rush to Slayer, Pink Floyd to Beastie Boys, so really nothing is out of bounds (except pussy boy band shit and whining girl songs).

I'm starting with:
Rush: Red Barchetta.

[Erni]

No. Sleep. Till. Brooklyn.

Radar Love.

Maybe Happy Song

[Ah Pook]

Fav driving music;

Tom Waits- Black Rider
Chris Isaak-Forever Blue
Concrete Blonde
Iggy Pop- American Caeser
Jimi Hendrix
Johnny Cash
Morphine-Cure For Pain
Primus-Pork Soda

Those are the standards.

Wouldn't be complete without Highway to Hell by AC/DC.

[Fentonite]

Scorpions - Big City Nights

Hadn't thought of that song in years, but after reading the songs above, it popped into my head.

When you gas up in Kearny, hand your spouse the noise cancelling headphones.
I try setting the music up to get me comfortable for the beginning of the trip. Finger tapping music during the midway point. With (your choice) of play it loud selections to get me to the end of the trip.
