In honor of Fid's "you're in the car" thread.....

Best Driving Songs?

Joe Satriani--'Summer Song' 'Back to Shallabal'
Van Halen--'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love'
Pantera--'Mouth for War'

I've got this very strange opinion that New Adventures in Hi-Fi is REM's greatest album.

Pink Floyd, "Comfortably Numb"
Boston, "More Than A Feeling"
Aerosmith, "Sweet Emotion"

[gofire2001]

Got to have the punk along with some good heavy metal:

Moneen, Dropkick Murphys, Less Than Jake, MU 330, MXPX, Offspring, AFI, Disturbed, System of a Down, Slipknot, Iced Earth.

good points, both!! i'd swear up one side of the street and down the other that "murmur" is the best of the best of the best, but somehow, when "be mine" kicks in, i forget all that, and just bliss.... :-)

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

That's all you need.
