Talk of Manic Street Preachers the other day got me thinking about my favourite Manics song, Motorcycle Emptiness (sexier official video here) & in turn other great songs for the road. Here’s some of my other favourites:
- Boys of Summer, Don Henley
- She Bangs the Drum, Stone Roses
- Take It Easy, The Eagles
- Highway Star, Deep Purple
- Dangerzone (Top Gun soundtrack)
- Driving Home For Christmas, Chris Rea (seasonal obviously)
What are yours? *update: will compile list of all songs thrown into comments so off you go now & start listing!*
These are hardly the whopping classics you’ve listed Steph but, when heading to Galway, I wouldn’t survive that wretched stretch from Ballinasloe to Oranmore* without em.
Eddie Vedder – Hard Sun
Interpol – Slow Hands
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss – Gone Gone Gone
Deus – Instant Street
*no offense to anyone from here, I just start to fade at this point in the journey.
@ Celine: awesome choices & yes, the stretch from Ballinasloe to Oranmore = utter pain. I’m going to compile the complete list once I get a few more together
