Location: Avondale AZ | There is something about driving the open road that makes rock and roll more exciting. The following is my list of songs that are my favorite to listen to while traveling in my fast car. They are all equally exciting and in no order of preferance. Note none of these have a banjo in them.
Driver's Seat by Sniff 'N' the Tears
The Cowboy Song by Thin Lizzy
Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple
Free Bird by Lynard Skynard
Radar Love by Golden Earring
What is your list?

Location: Avondale AZ | All good so far. How about 'Smoking' by Humble Pie and 'Mississippi Queen' by Mountain. I believe all of these can be played on an Ovation solid body. Maybe some can be remixed on an Ovation acoustic.

But I would really only drive to these if I have a sudden urge to uncontrollably raise my heart rate, adrenaline and my car insurance rates. Otherwise, I tend to stick to driving to more peaceful tunage and appreciate the journey a lil more.

Nine inch nails does a cover of Radar Love?
I did not know that. I interested hearing it.

Good call with the Outlaws and Blackfoot. These were two bands that never got their dues along with Uriah Heep. In fact add their song 'Easy Living' to the list. |

| Mr Cheese - having played bottom of the bill to Nazareth a couple of times more years ago than I care to remember, may I be allowed to tell you that those guys were crap beyond almost any meaning of the word?
Nobody mentioned Canned Heat or Free/Bad Company. Bob Seeger made some great driving music. And BB King. |
