    Default Your Top 10 'Driving' Songs

    I posted something in another thread concerning one of the Eagles songs being in a random top 10 list of great songs to listen to while driving, then I thought it might be fun and interesting if we all put our own little top 10 lists together.

    So, what gets you revved up the most when you get behind the wheel???

    I'm going to just start my list and come back and add to it or edit, as I figure them out:



    Already Gone - Eagles
    Paradise City - Guns 'N Roses
    Take It Easy - Eagles
    Highway To Hell - AC/DC
    Slow Ride - Foghat
    Radar Love - Golden Earring
    Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf
    Dr Feelgood - Motley Crue
    Roadhouse Blues - The Doors
    Panama - Van Halen
    Low Rider - War


    (I know, that's already 11. I don't do well with instructions!)
