What's your go-to genre for a nice cruise out on the backroads?

My 84 is full of Tangerine Dream(electronic music) cassettes. I made countless 70 miles highway trips at 2am listening to their Pergamon or Canyon Dreams albums.

Hmmm... I think the radios work, but I usually just listen to the satisfying sounds of a Fiero humming along (and the voices... )

What about you?

RADAR LOVE!!! (by Golden Earring) Best cruising song ever.....I mainly like "Album rock"...Stuff like Pink Floyd, Heart, Beatles, Moody Blues, etc...And my personal Favorite group; Old Queen (1973 to 1977) If you have watched the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, and like that style of song, listen to "March of the Black Queen" and also "Nevermore" from Queen II - Not cruising songs but really good. (If you are not a Queen fan- Check out "Drowse" from their "Day at the Races" Album- the drummer wrote/sang/played guitar on it, and it doesn't sound anything like Queen)

Dukehog- I am watching HIMYM right now (Every morning 8-9) and it is the "Arrivederci Fiero" episode where the car dies at 199999 miles.....and they had "I would walk 500 miles..." approx' 10 times.....

I have an old Car & Driver CD of tunes that are arguably the GREATEST road songs ever:

No Particular Place To Go / Chuck Berry

On The Road Again / Canned Heat

Highway 49 / Howlin' Wolf

Rocket 88 Jackie Brentson & His Delta Cats

Little Deuce Coupe / Beach Boys

Ballad Of Thunder Road / Robert Mitchum(!)

Hot Rod Race / Jimmy Dolan (years ago I rewrote the lyrics to create Fiero Race between a GT and a Formula with a "hopped-up 2M4" at the end. I wish I had kept that cassette.)

409 / Beach Boys

Little GTO / Ronny & The Daytonas

Dead Man's Curve / Jan & Dean

Shut Down / Beach Boys

(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66 / Asleep At The Wheel

Drag City / Jan & Dean

Hot Rod Lincoln / Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen

I really like that song... but it's a close second to Highway Star by Deep Purple.

Crank it up... pedal to the metal!

80s music for me. I get my 80s on when driving my 80s car.
