OT: Best Car Cruising Songs

Submitted by M go Bru on

Since we broke the 70 degree mark yesterday .............. it only seems appropiate.

Love heavy beats that make you want to thump your hand on the car top while cruising.

My all-time favorite is "Takin' Care of Business" by Bachman Turner Overdrive!

I didn't see anyone mention Bohemian Rhapsody. I was a 3 or 4 when when Wayne's World came out but I always think of that song as a cruising song.

There's a ton of good dad rawk listed. I think I'll have to make a playlist of them all.

Lots of great choices here...except Radar Love. Radar Love is a fucking horrible song, even if the wind noise is harshing it.

But, 7 hours of options and no Born to Run? Really? Though my wife swears by Touch Me by the Doors. Can't argue with that. And, she dropped that one early on in the relationship...maybe even the first date. Knew I had a keeper at that point!
