Top gear best driving songs.

That's cos we're young!! I bet the oldies will be slagging them off soon. People like Nom ;)

He likes dance music...

Blimey :)

Chop Suey's a good tune. I'd also agree with PeteM's suggestion of "Take the Long Way Home" by Supertramp.

I'd also chuck in "Far" by the Longpigs. Actually "All Hype" by them as well (I've had that album on recently".

S*it, whole load of stuff I could mention - "Falling Down" by Muse is a great driving tune. Another Supertramp one - "From Now On". I think the 1st movement of Gershwin's Piano Concerto *has* to have a special mention, though it's not technically a song. And James - Sit Down would go on my list as well. Nothing Lasts Forever (Reverb and the Rabbit Boys) and You can Talk to Me (The Seahorses) would go on my list too.

That'll do for now.

Whilst we're on the subject, anyone got a link to this weeks torrent file (no direct links on FinalGear and I can't be arsed to set up iRC).

Well, for singles, I'd go for:

But I generally prefere to listen to whole albums in the car, so (in no particular order);

No doubt the list would be different if asked a week ago.

Cheers.

Don't know the last one, but if it is as good as the others. Well cool. And I'm an old fart, just to prove Dan wrong.

Thats why I went with Glenn Miller. Not your usual "Rock/Pop" driving song, but bloody good to drive to.

They have a Java IRC thingy on their site. No setup required.

Yeah, cos I'm all of 26 now :) I only ever listen to trancey dancey stuff in the car - work commute this morning was accompanied by "Godskitchen - Classics"

...makes me lose the will to live !

I usually listen to smooth funky jazz or guitar shredders in the car, depending on mood, but a couple of other tracks which make good driving music:

Santana - Black Magic Woman Lynyrd Skynrd - Freebird

:)

Bigus

It'll be nowhere near the official results, but my top 5, in no particular order are:

1. N-Trance - Set You Free (Original Mix)
2. Motorhead - Ace of Spades
3. The Caesers - Jerk It Out
4. The X-Ecutioners (feat. Linkin Park) - It's Going Down
5. Ayla - Ayla

The ONLY Skynrd track is Sweet Home Alabama :)

Gay :-)

The Creedance is far better ;)

It was Carl that made the old people comment!

Not that i wasn't thinking it mind you...

I tend to be a Radio 2 listener when commuting. Drive time coming home is usually pretty sweet.

I'm being lazy, here, not looking it up - who did it originally?

I quite like Burn from that soundtrack (also by The Cure).

Doh, now I'm senile as well as old.
