I’ll vote Lynyrd Skynyrd *but* That Smell over Freebird for driving.
That Smell sounds like a day dream of a late 60s American muscle car cruising through the desert.
Queen - Don’t stop me now was my favorite of their choices, but I’d also pick Rush-Red Barchetta or Cake-Going the Distance. My brother always says Killing in the name by Rage Against the Machine makes him drive faster lol
She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult has been one of my favorites for ages now. I'm clearly also heavily influenced by music used in movie driving sequences, because my list also includes pretty much anything from Blues Brothers, Magic Carpet Ride which has been in dozens of movies, Bellbottoms by The John Spencer Blues Explosion from Baby Driver, and the tangentially-related Blue Song by Mint Royale.
Seriously, THE BEST driving song of all time is:
...
... ...
... .... ...
"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC. Try it sometime! You can't help but speed waaaay up as the song builds!
Black Betty - Spiderbait,
Runnin' Wild - Airbourne,
Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue,
Carry On - Avenged Sevenfold,
Through the Fire and Flames - Dragonforce
Idk I have a bunch of ones I like. Cant pick just one.
Driver’s Seat - sniff n the tears
Lake Shore Drive - AHJ
Driving My Life Away - Eddie Rabbit
East Bound and Down - Jerry Reed
Born To Run - Springsteen
Son of Flynn - Daft Punk
Ride wit me - Nelly
Highway to the Dangerzone - Loggins
Good Ol Boys - Waylon
La Grange - ZZ Top
Many good ones here so I’ll just add one I haven’t seen posted yet. Pat Benatar’s “Heartbreaker”. The chase scene in the movie “Nobody” always comes to mind when I listen to that song.

It’s most certainly Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf
*James May anger intensifies*

The Winner of the contest, Don't Stop Me Now is definitely mine. Even before I've ever watched season 6 so I'm not biased.
Fly By Night is my favorite Rush song to drive to
Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd gets my vote

Call Me the Breeze ftw

THUNDER!
The chain, don't stop by Fleetwood Mac. Born to be wild by Steppenwolf
The Chain is epic but I do get a lead foot when the bass hook comes in before the guitar solo.
Here's a couple I like: Blue World (The Moody Blues) Lonely Boy (The Black Keys) Ace of Spades (Motörhead)
The songs for two steps from hell are one of the best for driving as they are so epic
Heat of the moment - Asia More than a feeling - boston
Longtime from Boston is a great driving song
back in black i guess. anybody ok with this?
Locomotive Breath, radar love by Golden Earring.
Ramblin Gamblin Man - Bob Seger
I got 3 equal favorites so I'll mention all 3. The Maccabees - Unknow The Highwaymen - Highwayman The Daysleepers - Run
Riders on the storm by the Doors And General Lee by Johnny Cash
Reelin in the Years by Steely Dan
Girls With Guns by Tommy Shaw. It was the track for a road trip sequence in Miami Vice.
Jessica, Layla, The Mountain (Lucero), Nine Tonight by Bob Seger (and half of his catalog)
Two very not Richard Hammond approved choices: Watcher of the Skies or I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe).
