Lot's of great choices here but no list of cruisin' tunes can be complete without this nugget.
Tom
ps to ncsurfer:
I love your pick. 'The Weird Revolution' is a really good album, albeit a bit off the mainstream.
Great driving songs (or songs that make you sing like no one's listening!)

Hey Al:
Great thread! There are far too many to mention all of them, but here are a couple off of the top of my head that make me sing while driving:
"Highway Song" by Blackfoot
"Hit and Run" by Whitesnake
Whenever my wife and I go somewhere, this song will get both of us going:
"American Pie" by Don McLean
This one will really get me going:
"Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver

For several years, I was on the road opening stores for the company I am with. I would be in one place for 28 days, and the day the store opened I would leave, 90% of the time driveing to my next location. Music became an even bigger part of my drive time. I had 3 songs that I would have ready to play as I pulled out of the parking lot on opening day...
1. If the store opening went well and the people were good, I would play Long And Winding Road. (wouldn't mind going back)
2. If it was just another store, went ok, but nothing special it was, Take It To The Limit (just get in the car and do it all over in another city)
3. If the store was horrible, nothing went right, felt like everything was against me meeting my deadline, payroll etc, it.......................................................BAT OUT OF HELL (no explaination needed)
And then anything by John, Paul George and Ringo!

Lots of great ones here. Born To Be Wild came to mind right away, along with Californication and Snow (Hey Oh). Can't help but sing to 25 Or 6 to 4 or CCR's Traveling Band (watch that speedometer!), U2's Wild Horses, Long Train Running, Wild Nights, and dozens more.
Nice thread.

YES!! Chicago (the old Chicago). '25 or 6 to 4' is great! So is 'Saturday in the Park', 'Feelin Stronger Every Day'. They had a greatest hits album that had so many good songs on it. Was called Chicago IX. My wife calls it her cooking CD- as all the songs on it give you that burst of energy. Definitely worth a spin-- even if you DON'T like the new Chicago.

Love Big Old Jet Liner AL! You are right about hearing the riffs… that’s what 9 months of TG can do to you! Black Betty, Golden Earring, Steppen Wolf, 25 or 6 2 4, BTO Yeah!
Here’s some of mine…

A lot of great songs here - but surely we'd be happy to sing them regardless of who was listening! What about the songs that we only sing when we are sure that no-ones listening?? Our own little secrets.
Here's mine......
And yes - I can hit that top note!
