When I’m not consumed with road rage I actually quite like driving as long as I have some music playing. In fact music tends to have a pretty good calming influence on me when I’m at the wheel of a car. At the moment my top three driving songs are:
1. Crosstown Traffic – Jimi Hendrix
2. Drive – Incubus
3. Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd
What can I say about ‘Crosstown Traffic’ except that it kicks ass. There is nothing better than zipping along an uncongested road (within the speed limit) while listening to this song. ‘Drive’ is another good car song, a bit more mellow than ‘Crosstown Traffic’ but it still has oomph. ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ always makes me think of long drives when you need a good upbeat song to keep you going. All of these songs have the essential sing along quality that is crucial for a good driving song.
