    Let’s see what we can come up with, you know the kind of thing, the kind of tracks that you’d find on those ‘driving’ albums that you could always buy on cassette (ask your dad, kids) in petrol stations and motorway service stations.

    NO LINKING TO YOUTUBE, FOR THE AID OF THOSE OF US WITH OPPRESSIVE CORPORATE FIREWALLS

    I’ll start with a couple:

    Don Henley – Boys of Summer
    Bryan Adams – Run to You

    Oh, yeah, and when posting, as yourself “would DezB like this?” If the answer is yes, you probably need to try again 🙂

    Oh, yeah,

    I was going to suggest ‘Yello – Oh Yeah’

    “would DezB like this?” If the answer is yes, you probably need to try again

    but fell at the first hurdle

    Slackboy – good effort, but you seem to have added a lot of Big Country…

    The Prodigy – Diesel Power

    Not a traditional driving track but it says diesel in the name…..

    Did Tom Cochrane and Red Rider make it over here?

    If so, then ‘Life is a Highway’.

    It was pretty much written to be a driving anthem.

    Not so much 80’s though. More ’97 ish.

    Obvious ones:

    Bruce Springsteen – Born to Run
    Fleetwood Mac – The Chain

    Not obvious, but they’re appropriate unless the point is that all tracks should be well known and well worn classics:

    Cracker – Let’s Go for a Ride
    Soul Asylum – Just Like Anyone
    Ben Harper and Relentless 7 – Fly One Time

    I don’t use Spotify so I’d appreciate it if someone can add these to the playlist for me. 🙂

    Edit: Oops, I missed the decade requirement with all of my tunes!

    How about the following to make up for it?

    Dire Straits – Money for Nothing or Walk of Life
    Yello – The Race

    How about Sammy Hagar/Montrose ‘Space Station no.5’
