"Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comforting to cry in a CORVETTE than in a Kia"

I may have to update this thread later today. Its supposed to be sunny and 70+... I may hear some songs... if I can hear anything over the headers.

[QUOTE=takoda]any good tunes ya just have to crank up in your vette i like a lot of country music but stranglehold by ted nugent always gets cranked up[/QUOTE]

I agree with the Nuge as good driving tunes.

Also add:
Skynyrd
SRV
KISS
Quiet Riot
Gamma

Several others, including zydeco tunes....since I play music I am pretty ecclectic...basicall I wont do opera or chick music.

No one has mentioned Deep Purple yet. How about Highway Star? Actually any cut from the album Machine Head is suitable for driving. Smoke on the Water, and Space Truckin are also on this album. That's 3 excellent driving tunes.

"My Old 55" by Tom Waits is a great song when you are driving across country.  Just when you are tired of driving it make sense. 

Whenever Bob Seger's "Hollywood Nights" or "The Fire Inside" or "Katmandu" or "Shakedown" or "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" comes on I have to change stations - if I don't by the time the song is over I'm usually doing triple digits...!!!  There are several Doobie Brothers tunes that have the same result.

Ok fellow vette...  The long winter is over, spring is here, shows and cruise nights are right around the corner and time to revive this thread...  Even though I love The J Geils Band, nothing says spring or summer at the Jersey Shore than blasting classic oldies..  Especially from a vette...

War - Low Rider
Stones - Honky Tonk Woman
CSN - Southern Cross
Argent - Hold Your Head Up.....

Somebody to Love - Jefferson Airplane sundew2010-03-11 05:56:34

Some great stuff!! Nothing like taking off/down the top on a warm summer night and throwing Meatloaf's CD, Bat Out Of Hell. In fact, anything by Meatloaf or some good old country!!

Numerous great ones in the lists so far, but one obvious one is missing:

Tom Petty - "Running Down a Dream"

______________

 

Highway Star, Deep Purple< id="gwProxy" ="">< ="jsCall;" id="jsProxy" ="">

Seriously now.  It's got to be the Beach Boys or Jan and Dean!  Or does that just show my age!?!

I would ride anywhere with sundew, my kinna music !!  But I am suprised that nobody has mentioned "Born to Be Wild" or "Bad to the Bone" not even "Mustang Sally"

hmmm. I had no idea.... but goggle says "Fats Noel"

I was always a Doors fan, but for a kicker road song, try Prince's "Go Crazy" (... when the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy...)  (I think it was on the Purple Rain album, before he became a symbol and was still a guy)  Great song, anyway.

I like to play a lot of 50's and 60's music when I am cruising with the top down which really looks funny considering I'm 37. I guess I'm trying to transport myself back in time. 

That's cool you like the "oldies" and if you want to go back in time, how about retro fitting the Delorean's Flux Capacitor from the movie to work in a Vette. I sure wouldn't mind getting a few years back in this old body !
