good driving songs

Good driving songs should make the road feel shorter and your grin wider, without tempting you into a chat with a radar gun. Start with Aussie staples: AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” INXS’s “Don’t Change,” and Midnight Oil’s “Blue Sky Mine” for highway swagger. Add open-road polish with Tom Petty’s “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way,” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run.” Spice it up with Tame Impala’s “Elephant,” The Presets’ “My People,” and The War on Drugs’ “Red Eyes” when the horizon goes widescreen. Volume up, windows down, responsibility intact—beauty.
