heh well we have very different tastes, but here are my favourite driving songs. I choose songs that are consistently moving in nature rather than a big finale or great section but on the most part It depends on my mood at the time in what I choose to listen to, as you might find out from the brackets.

Bic Runga - Sway (mellow + melodic)
Eagle eye Cherry - are you still having fun (Catchy and energetic)
Fuel - Shimmer (moving and I just love it)
Incubus - Drive (quite slow but sucks you in)
Smashing Pumpkins - Lanslide (seems to stop time for me and makes me forget my worries, sad mood)
Led Zepplin - Immigrant Song (the music seems to go with driving, not sure why)
Aerosmith - I don't want to miss a thing (suits contemplative mood)
Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit (Takes over your mind with the great rock music in this song)
The Who - My Generation (Just a fun song to hear)
The Living End - Who's gonna save us (blends good singing and guitars, it makes you listen)
Oasis - Wonderwall (live) (it's partly the fans singing, but there's something magical about this song)


Driving music is somewhat different to music you would want at a party or listen to at your house, quite strange...
