( AC/DC ) now your mess'in with a S.O.B., and "Ride on josephine" ( George Thorougood ) I better stop " I'll have to go outside and sit in my car":D
Lets see, a little Creedence Clearwater Revival, some ol' Beach Boys, Clapton, Simon and Garfunkel, Alabama and a host of others from that period that may or may no make me go any faster but still put a grin on my face.:3dSMILE:
Larry M
Bob Seger, "The Fire Inside" (5:53):D
Get outta Denver, Bob Seger
Well, it's all right, Travelin Wilburys
Gene Krupa beating on his drums in the album Sing Sing Sing from the World's Fair in Brussels
Music to speed to? Try "Long Way Down" by the goo goo dolls. This may not seem like the right band, but this was written before they went mainstream.:)
Ahhhhh , nothing like the smell of nitro in the morning, eh Streets? :3dSMILE:

Many MANY moons ago, I found the ultimate (for me) Go Fast song. Every time it came around on my eight-track version of Iron Butterfly's Ball ( I think) album, "Easy Rider" made me put the pedal to the wood & by the time it was over, I was seriously speeding and hoarse to boot! LOL That song still winds me up, but so do a lot of other classic and current Rock songs.:D
I would have thought one of the other geezers would have put up Steppenwolf's "Born to be wild" by now.........................."get your motor runnin',,,,,,,headin' down the highway,,,,,,,,,,,,,lookin' for adventure,,,,,,,,,,,,,or whatever comes my way..................."
dcon,
I to like your list , but I'll add : Gary Hoey,Booker T & the MG's , Moley Hatchet, & Rush .
I wish Trevor Rabin (from YES) would do a instrumental CD
SprayTech
I kinda get going with the hard guitar licks... and maybe a little harmonica thrown in there. Two songs that come to mind are Living in the USA by Steve Miller and Ten Dollar Man by ZZ Top.
Brent, what happens if you try to attach an MP3 file?
Showing that I really am "The F.N.G." here.
Rob Zombie-Dragula

Dean
Actually, I have a new one to add. Its called nothing by socialburn. If you have a P2p program, give it a listen. But be sure to delete it after your done! (legal way to p2p)
Hey Dave, thats some list for sure! Thanks for joggin' the ol' grey cells:D I didn't see Goose Creek Symphony"Words of Wisdom". Kinda strange group from back in the late '60s or early '70s. I wish I could find their tape but I've looked all over with no luck. :(
Larry
Radar Love by Golden Earring always does it for me.
"I been drivin' all night my hands wet on the wheel.... There's a voice in my head that drives my heel."
AL
Streets... I'm not familiar with Dave Dudley, I'll have to see what I can find on him and give him a listen... I do like Sheb Wooley I did'nt know that he died reciently... I have been in morning since Johnny Cash died... I bought his last CD a couple of months back after hearing his version of Trent Resner's Hurt on MTV... That might be one of the most impactful renditions of any song that I have ever heard... If you have not heard it, do yourself a favor and give it a listen... Been listening to his classic stuff for the last few days... Love the ballad of Ira Hayes, Rock Island line and of course Folsom Prision Blues...
Larry... Never heard of the Goose Creek Symphony before you mentioned them... Here is a link to their web site, looks like are still alive and kicking and releasing new albums...

Thanks for the link Dave.
Larry
can't belive , I forgot it.
"Hot Rod Lincoln" don't remember who sings it?
& "Got me under pressure" ZZ top
:cool: :D
Tree, several artist have done Hot Rod Lincoln, but probably the one that most comes to people's minds is the Commander Cody version.
I think they only put out one album, but the whole thing is cool.
Jim Varney and Ricky Skaggs did a "Hot rod lincoln" rendition just a couple years back......sounds pretty decent.
Abe
the 2 I have are "pat travers", & "asleep at the wheel".
There are several songs that have an uncanny ability to make me go fast, but one beats the rest. Nothing like driving down a mountain road at night, no street lights anywhere with it blaring. It's DOA by Bloodrock. Just the song to have playing if you are going to get in a wreck and die on the way to the hospital. :LOL:
I used google.com and "Hot Rod Lincoln.The Song/A Short History "....Not what I call a short history but very interesting..I remember Commander Cody's 1972 version but it wasn't as cool as the original I remember from the late fifties......Al...:) :) :)
I think it was Charly Ryan who did the first one way back in the mid 50's. Check out this site "Hot Rod Lincoln - The Car behind The Song": http://www.lincoln-club.org/hot-rod-lincoln1.html
Larry
I dont think anyone mentioned supertramp, maybe "take the long way home".
My all time favorite is "who made who?"by AC/DC.It just cranks me up.mike
Wow! Those are some great tunes!! I kinda like whatever offerings that are available from AC/DC...gotta throw a bid for Van Halen..a little Eruption, Really Got Me and Ain't Talking 'bout Love.
For whatever reason, the right foot gets heavy to the Greg Kin Band..Twillight Zone...don't ask me why. Big fan of ZZ Top's I Got the Six... Guess Who - American Woman...Def Leppard - Rock of Ages...80's flash back!!
Another one that always seems to get me to going fast is Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. And some of Soundgarden's stuff really works. Bout anything that refers to dying works for me. This is probably a little out of keeping with the rest of you, but when a (c)rap song comes on the local mix station, I just get this p*ssed off feeling and end up doing 50 in a 25. And one that seems to have been working VERY well lately is Crystal Village by Pete Yorn. Guess I'm kind of messed up :whacked: , but at if you get it turned up loud, the bass drowns out the engine and kind of sheds any inhibitions I might have had about blowing the dang thing. Makes for a FAST takeoff from stops and great for racing in parking lots at night. :LOL:
TALLICA!!!!!!!
Fade to Black!!!
Yeah I know it's not period for my car but something about that makes my foot turn to lead and my @$$ to velcro.**)
My songs depend on my mood. Megadeth-High speed dirt usually gets my foot closer to the headers(its not a car song, but it works). Judas Priest-Painkiller was one of my favorites but that was for a specific road. Of course for me the best sound while I'm driving is the sound of the engine itself.
Yes! I was just going to say thatQuote:
