I'll say Free Bird, purely because I'm surprised it hasn't been nominated already!

I've made a few driving compilations over the years. If I was making one now I'd probably go for stuff like:

Faster - Manic Street Preachers

Newborn - Muse

Red Morning Light - Kings of Leon

Hide U - Kosheen

All Over You - Live

Inertiatic ESP - The Mars Volta

Freedom Fighters or Breakin' - The Music

Good Fortune - PJ Harvey

Once - Pearl Jam

Teenage Angst - Placebo

Go With the Flow - Queens of the Stone Age

Black Steel - Tricky

Jackinabox - Turin Brakes

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
