Well, if you want something that will keep your blood pumping while driving home, Motorhead's "No Sleep At All" album will make that drive go REALLY quickly. :)

Nice, Can't go wrong with Motorhead!!!!!!!

Ted Nugent...Stranglehold.  Awesome song for a little longer rides.

Thanks! I'll be sure to check them out. Not that familiar with Motorhead, but sounds appropriate. :)

I'm driving a lot more now to get to work and need some good driving music. Something a little more mellow in the morning and something a bit more "perky" for the drive home. Any suggestions?

Something that makes me wanna drive fast.  When I hear ZZ Top's "La Grange", I think of a flat, straight, open road in the middle of nowhere...no cops for hundreds of miles.  And I've got the gas pedal of a brand new Corvette to the floor, with no plans to take my foot off it!  This is only a vision to me as I don't own a Corvette.  But it sounds like fun, right?

Top 10 drive home albums

#10 Nightwish "Once"

#9 Iron Maiden "Powerslave"

#8 Edguy "Tears of a Mandrake"

#7 Hammerfall "Glory to the Brave"

#6 Dream Evil "Dragon Slayer"

#5 Black Sabbath "Heaven and Hell"

#4 Judas Priest "Nostradamus"

#3 Savatage "Handfull of Rain"

#2 Megadeth "Peace Sells... but who's buying"

#1 Dio "Last In Line"

Honorable mention Motorhead "1916"

something i like to listen to that has a more mellow slower first half of the album and a perky upbeat fun second half is Roxy Music's greatest hits, its fun to sing along to too :)

Beatles or Simon & Garfunkel, then the Stones with AeroSmith on Fridays.

Now we're talking!

Cant go wrong with the Cranberries!

Just thought I would chime in again to tell you that I am listening to Metallica and Zeppelin right now.  You cannot go wrong with Zeppelin, and you must thank them for most of the music that is around now.  Jimmy Page and Elvis were great friend's.  It was a big story that towards the supposed end of Elvis's life, he actually walked Jimmy Page to his Limo after a visit.  The older music fans can definetley attest to this.

Also, I am not a big fan of Godsmack, but I thought they did a pretty good job at remaking "Good Times Bad Times" from Zeppelin.  That is one of those songs that just keeps getting louder for some reason.  I would be more than happy to send you some music if you would like.

This time of year, i like to listen to Don Henley's greatest hits CD, Actual Miles, and cruise with the windows down. A nice combination of upbeat and mellow, it has a very summer mood to it.

I also like Porcupine Tree's In Absentia for the same reason. Generally a bit more mellow, but seems to go along great with the weather and has a few upbeat segments here and there to keep you from falling asleep at the wheel.

The new Guns n Roses CD Chinese Democracy is downright amazing to drive to, great songs with tons of energy. (It was actually worth the 10 year wait, in my opinion.)

I'm also a bit partial to the new Nine Inch Nails CD The Slip, mostly hard rocking single worthy songs, with a couple instrumental segues and one soft slow song. Added bonus is you can download the whole album for free from nin.com (Free is good!)

These are all great suggestions - thanks, everyone! I'm always wishing I had new music to listen to, but not sure where to begin. This is really helpful.

im surprised to find someone else who likes them usually i say roxy music and people just look at me weird and have no idea what im talking about lol

I usually pop in Linkin Park, Korn, or Sevendust.

Good stuff....

I really like Starship, KC & The Sunshine Band, The Bee Gees, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Andy Gibb... mainly 70's, 80's and 90's music... I'm a classic guy!

I LOVE Starship! That was my first cassette! "We built this city"... now its in my head! :)

"on rock and roll"  nice....I think I was in first or second grade....  :) Now it is stuck in my head.  I love all types of music.

Black Eyed Peas.... "I go ta feeling".

i like listening to Incubus & Muse...

O.K.  I am going to go old school for a minute (I hope this does not offend anyone but they started out before my generation), Police.....Excellent band and suites just about every mood, every situation, every driving scenario.  I am jamming to them now!!!!!

LOVE the Police.  Had the pleasure of seeing them at Wrigley Field in Chicago last year on a perfect summer evening.  Great show.

Offended...?  no at all man!    That's exactly what I was talking about a little while ago!  

What about Journey, Phil Collins... oh my God, so many good bands in the 80's, right?

Right...Genesis, Yes, Page and Plant, U2........

Can we include Tiffanie in that list? :) I did love her...not exactly an original though. :)

How addicted am I to their new song "Boom Boom Pow?"

Of course, we can includ Tiffanie!  I really liked her!   Boy, you all really know about music!  Congratulations!

I also love to listen to Duran Duran while driving. Hungry Like the Wolf and Rio were my all time fav songs back in the 80s
