No BTO?
Their entire discography was made for cranking up the volume and just driving until you die.

Picked up a few new CDs recently to serve specifically as driving music.

True Blood Season 1 Soundtrack

The show itself is alright, but the soundtrack for season 1 is the best I've ever heard for a TV show. Wonderful mix of country, blues, 50's rock n roll, slow ballads, swamp rock, etc. It's as if it's been made to drive around at night to.

The Heavy - The Glorious Dead

One of my favourite albums of this year. Catchy hooks and singalong-friendly choruses on every track.

A "Best of CCR" collection

Because no driving music collection is complete without a bit of Creedence! :cool:

I had a friend that kept a CCR tape in his old truck, and every time we'd go to our friend's house he'd race to get there in the time of Lookin' Out My Backdoor.

Whilst pounding the roof with one fist, I hope. Heh.

Also awesome: Drive soundtrack favourites Nightcall and Tick of the Clock.

Or was this supposed to be without homicidal road rage?

Heh... This thread almost makes me wish I knew how to drive (and had a car)...

While I lived in Texas, and back when gas prices were still low enough, I sometimes used to just get on the highways late at night to drive fast and listen to music. There's something really elemental about it.

I hear you dema. I have driving music for summer days, for town driving at night, for country driving, and so on.

Currently, with the weather getting bad but mostly town driving I'm still listening to Trisector and Future Engineers. For long distances I've reverted to comedy/history podcasts.
