Whats your Pick for "BEST DRIVING SONG"?

F12Bwth · May 24th, 2005, 06:08 AM

Just a simple forum to post what YOU think the best driving song is and what your submitting to http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/driving_song/ . My choice will probably be .. "Prodigy - Spitfire" Makes me wanna go drive a little mental.. and I think Jeremy would approve (Spitfire nut)

I put in some euro song. I forgot which one.

F12Bwth · May 24th, 2005, 06:25 AM

That really doesnt help... but thanks for contributing. 8)

I got Propellerheads - Spybreak in my mind, and can't think of anything better. It isn't a traditional driving song, but I think it has what it takes.

gti138 · May 24th, 2005, 06:45 AM

I voted for Jesus Built My Hotrod - Ministry

A good, fast, angry driving song images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Magnet · May 24th, 2005, 06:53 AM

4strings - High on Life (cheesy euro dance), but you really need a good sound system for it.

I forgot - another awesome one is

Moby - New Dawn Fades

from the "Heat" soundtrack, where Pacino chases De Niro down the freeway at night. You end up driving like him when you're on the freeway as well. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses.
How can you argue against that one?

Caterham · May 24th, 2005, 07:28 AM

I would go for BLUR: Song 2

Bye

Gygen · May 24th, 2005, 02:06 PM

I voted for George Thorogood - Bad to the bone... It's cool... Depends offcourse what kind of a car u are driving.. images/smilies/smile.gif

Keep your entries coming in, we are getting some odd suggestions (whoever suggested "The wheels on the bus, go round and round" needs help!)

I've got to say, IMHO anything by Prodigy deserves to be in there images/smilies/wink.gif

Greatgraddage · May 24th, 2005, 03:11 PM

I voted Paperback Writer by The Beatles, dunno why but I enjoy driving to it images/smilies/biggrin.gif

But someone said "The Chemical Brothers" from the audience in the new TG episode, and I couldn't agree more ... being my favourite music of all time ...

Good point images/smilies/smile.gif

.
Actually I picked Low Rider by War...remember that moment in Gone in 60 seconds? Not that it is a good movie, but on that point, they got it right.

Danny Tran · May 24th, 2005, 07:21 PM

Yuzo Koshiro - Maximum Acceleration, from the Wangan Midnight 2 (Maximum Tune) soundtrack.

(It's an arcade game)

Jostyrostelli · May 24th, 2005, 07:32 PM

Haz sent me the Prodigy album a while ago and I must say, If I had a cdplayer in the Punto, or in my future Beetle, I would have it there.

patrick10 · May 24th, 2005, 07:50 PM

the doors - roadhouse blues.... its a great cruising song images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Jail80 · May 24th, 2005, 07:50 PM
