For real driving long into the night: Radar Love by Golden Earring.
Radar Love is fantastic... Here are a few more I love:
The Song Remains the Same (the song), Zeppelin
Train I Ride, Elvis Presley
Hot Rod Lincoln, Commander Cody
Sing! Sing! Sing!, performed by Benny Goodman *(written by Mr. Prima)
Boddisatva, Steely Dan
Runnin' With the Devil, Van Halen
Dr. Feelgood, Mötley Crue
Speedway at Nazareth, Mark Knopfler
Built for Speed, The Stray Cats
Her are some great driving albums:
American Idiot, Green Day
Discipline, King Crimson
The Catherine Wheel, David Byrne & Brian Eno
Animals, Pink Floyd
Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden
Remain in Light, Talking Heads
Led Zeppelin Four
Of course, there is a right time and place for each of these... but when you get it right, it's magic.
Behind the Wheel - Depeche Mode (typical Depeche Mode)
Route 66 - Depeche Mode (Depeche Mode covering a classic)
Warm Leatherette - Duran Duran (Duran Duran covering a classic electronic hit about a car crash from the 1970's)
Wave - David Sylvian (just because it is such a nice long song)
Of course DM and DD made better songs, but these are On Topic...
I have to add another:
Pink Floyd's Terminal Frost.... A great instrumental to put on in the fall, as the sun is setting, the leaves are blowing. Open the windows, turn on the heat and crank this.
It's not a throbbing, pulsing song that you'd take a spirited drive to. It's a laid back cruising song.
Night Drive...Garnet Rodgers
Jethro Tull Most any,but. Aqua Lung
Radar Love
Life is a Highway
Inna Goda Davida
Nice choice...Quote:

Sitting in traffic around the corner from home, in the heat, windows rolled up, AC going, etc. doesn't add up for the experience. Can't wait for winter here.
I almost forgot...
