No "bad Motor Scooter" by Montrose? No "Turn the Page" or "Against the Wind" by Bob Seger?
No "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf (although they did get "Born to be Wild."No "Couldn't Stand the Weather" by SRV? (always pops to mind when I'm riding the cycle through a rainstorm).
No "Free Ride" by the Edgar Winter Group? hmmmmm.. I'm gettin old! lol

C'mon guys, I'm not even American- what about Canned Heat "On the Road Again" or America's "Ventura Highway"? I noticed "Take it Easy" by the Eagles was there, luckily.
And on a more modern note "Bohemian like you" Dandy Warhols.
So you gotta a nice car?

Great to see "Roadrunner" by The Modern Lovers - One of my favorite little-known bands of all time.

No Allman Brothers? Holy mackeral. I love Pearl Jam (as you can see from my username), but RVM over Midnight Rider, Ramblin Man, No Way Out, or even Jessica by the Allman's makes hardly any sense to me.

See, we know what true tunes for driving are. Most definetely you need Ramble on, Slowride and Highway Star.

Maybe it's because I'm not a rocker, but all I need is some R&B with a nice beat and I'm set...Like Beyonce or Mary J. Blige.

Yeah, this list really doesn't favor the oldies much
Too bad, that's some of the best music there is

Some songs I like, some I don't. Overall a good list, though.
I would like to have seen Hayden's "Dynamite Walls," but I was pleased to see the inclusion of Modest Mouse and Iggy Pop.
I have been speeding to Fleetwood Mac's "Go You're Own Way" for the last 30 years. You would think that would've made the list...
Tom Petty's "Runnin' Down a Dream" IS the ultimate song to crank while driving....glad it was in the top 5.
