[SKA]

Hey! A friend of mine is getting her first car this week and I want to make a CD for her. Can anyone recommend any good driving tracks please?
Thanks

Hi

Theres a driving compilation CD on the woolworths website with loads of songs suitable for your friend. I hope that helps.

[spat]

Madness- Driving In My Car
The Cars- Drive

[littleoldme]

Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
Bruce Springsteen again - Racing In The Street (shouldn't encourage her, I suppose)
Roy Orbison (or Cyndi Lauper if you prefer) - I Drove All Night
The Beatles - Drive My Car

...and if you want to show a twisted sense of humour...

One Dove - Breakdown, or Chris Rea - The Road To Hell :-)

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car

[Mabelcat]

Driving Away From Home - It's Immaterial

Drive - Judie Tzuke

According to all the big insurance companys, almost all new drivers are guaranteed to have a bump within the first year of learning to drive. So rather than making a cd of the 'usual suspects' i would make her a cd of some relaxing chill out tracks to help her concentrate.

glesga123 that sound wise, but like what?

Crawling From The Wreckage - Dave Edmunds or Graham Parker.
Or just order a copy of http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Car-Songs-Beach -Boys/dp/B000002TED#moreAboutThisProduct

all tacky, maybe you should put songs on she likes and will actually listen too, you should know this person better than us!!

[mishey20]

Change - Lightning seeds
Eric Clapton - Layla
Whitesnake - Here I Go Again
Counting Crows - Mr Jones
Tom Petty - Freefalling
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl

I would recommend 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac, you might remember it as the Formula 1 theme tune

[Fish the Mod]

born to be wild is the only song

Sorry couldnt get back to you yesterday SKA. I can only suggest what i would play to chill out and that would include,
Killermont Street Aztec Camera
The more i see you Chris Montez
Long may you run Neil Young
Wrecking ball Emmylou Harris
Build Housemartins
Hang on, that lot might just put her to sleep. But seriously you will know better than anyone what she might like. Its a difficult one to answer. Anyway i wish her well with her life on the road.

Dave tuc I like your style. Driving music is music great for driving to, NOT music with the word CAR in it!!

You absolutely absolutely have to include LA Woman by the Doors.
