My driving music faves are heavily weighted toward late 70's-early 80's pop, esp Aerosmith & Van Halen. These are mostly from CD's I actually take on road trips.

Aerosmith: "Back in the Saddle"
"Walk this Way" (incl the '80's remake w/ Run-DMC, & the live version from A Little South of Sanity)
"Last Child", esp. the live version from A Little South of Sanity, a great top-down convertible number
"Train Kept A-Rollin"
"Sweet Emotion"
"Dude Looks Like a Lady"
"Love in an Elevator"


Van Halen:
"Dance the Night Away"
"Running With the Devil"
"Jamie's Cryin'"
"Pretty Woman" (cover)
"Dancin in the Streets" (cover)
"You Really Got Me" (cover)
"Black And Blue"


Prince & the Revolution:
"Let's Go Crazy" (imagine the intro "Dearly Beloved, We are Gathered Here to get thru this thing called Life.." concluding with "...and if the elevator tries to bring you down, Go Crazy! Fun Time!" just as you reach the bottom of the onramp and hit cruising speed on the interstate heading to the beach) followed by the next track "Take Me With U"

Pseudo Echo "Funkytown" (cover)
Brian Adams "Run To You"
Duran Duran "Hungry Like the Wolf" followed by the next track "Hold Back the Rain" (unfort, the CD version butchered it, one-a these days I'll get hold of an LP and burn the LP version)
Howard Jones "Things Can Only Get Better"
Def Leppard "Foolin'"
Guns 'n Roses "Paradise City"
GnR "Mr. Brownstone"
Duran Duran "Girls On Film"
Whitesnake "Here I Go Again"
Whitesnake "Still of the Night"
Heart "Dreamboat Annie"
Heart "Crazy On You"
Heart "Barracuda"
Heart "What About Love"
Heart "Alone"
Heart "Under the Sky"
Heart "Mistral Wind"
Roxette "Joyride"
