I love all your choices. I was going to include Thunder Road which is just such a fantastic song. And the Audioslave track…..FAB. Your lists are always the best!
ROSHAN:
I am laughing about the inclusion of The Proclaimers because we played that for a joke on a road trip once and had such a good time singing it that we include it every time now. I think it’s so catchy!
LURAGANO:
STP is such an awesome band. I also love Rosalita – so full of joy!
MELEAH:
Oh yeah. I am a HUGE Stones fan. Currently my fave song is ‘Under My THumb’ but it changes every week!
JOE:

So fun! Loved all of those. I used to think there was something wrong with me that I like to just get in a car and DRIVE… seems I’m not so off the wall as I thought. 🙂

I am the same. I used to drive around a lot when I was younger. I still dream of driving through America in a Mustang.

You have some nice choices here. But my favorite cruising song is “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” by Tears For Fears. Try it sometime!
Also, just about anything by ZZ Top.

Hi TIMOTEO,
I agree with you about the Tears For Fears song. It definitely does the job. ZZ Top do it too. They have that real driving bass beat. Thanks so much for visiting!
