I know this doesn't fit the car/drive theme going on here, but Clocks by Coldplay sounds GREAT on the B&O system. I crank it up whenever it comes on. (Then my toddlers tell me its too loud)

This might be a stretch… then again, it might not be:
"Chestnut Mare" - The Byrds

I always give this a lot of thought, not just playlist, but what's gonna be the first song I'm going to play? Currently it's Leave me alone by super talented up and coming I don't know how but they found me, highly recommend giving their album Razzmatazz a listen if you're looking for new music.

I saw them live last month - great show! I played Choke on my test drive.

I’m not a huge pop music fan but I would say “Blinding Lights” by The Weekend. Between the 172 bpm and the driving scenes in the video, I’d worry about getting a speeding ticket with that song playing!

BalsaDust, Thanks for the Good Rats suggestion. I had totally forgotten about that band. When WNEW FM was a progressive/alternative/AOR station, Good Rats was on their playlist regularly.

Malacandra, Maybe swap Born to Run with Thunder Road. That's definitely a car song.

My suggestion - Highway Star by Deep Purple.

I followed the Good Rats and knew Peppi for many years until his death in 2013. I always have their music playing on my playlists. First saw them at the original "My Fathers Place" in Roslyn when they opened for the Winter brothers. WNEW always played great music as well as WLIR with John Debella who is now a DJ at WMGK in Philly.

Since I have months to contemplate about my MME (Premium, RWD, SB)while I await delivery which is now late Nov from a 7/3/21 order date, I am asking friends for ideas for the song I will play on that first blissful drive. Here are my top 10 picks:
1. Danger Zone - Loggins.
2. Oh Yeah. Yello
3. I'm in love with my car. Queen.
4. Born to be wild. The boss.
5. Low Rider. War
6. Ridin Dirty. NUZB
7. SOS. Rihanna
8.Feel this moment. Pitbull
9. Time of our lives. Pitbull
10. Not afraid. Eminem
I finally got my car ! I decided Danger Zone would be the chosen song for my virgin drive. I got to the dealer at 4p. By the time i waited for the salesman, went thru about 2 hrs of education on things mache, and signed all the documents, it was 7:30. I was starved so I drove to McDonalds a half mile down the road.
When I ordered the car in July, I mentally pictured driving too fast down the highway with the music too loud on a beautiful sunny day. I pictured Kenny Loggins "begging me to touch and go," exhorting me to "ride into the danger zone," and daring me to "go as high as I can go." But there I was on a dreary Jan evening. Kenny was trying to urge me on in my new dream machine - - but I just inched forward in the drive thru line to get my burgers.
My MME is awesome. I am enjoying all the above songs. #2 and 3 make me laugh out loud while navigating traffic.
