Top five songs....... for driving

In the first of what I am planning to make a regular feature of the Emmaverse (I love music, ask anyone who knows me, I am always singing) I am going to introduce you to, and write a few notes about, my top five songs - this week for driving (I have a long road trip ahead from the South Coast to Northumberland and back - I'm hoping music will keep me sane whilst driving!).


1.  Feeder - Buck Rogers





What can I say, awesome band, awesome track, and when you're driving on the motorway , you come to the chorus, and you just have to shout along (you know the bit I mean - he's got a cd player player player player player etc etc).


2.  The Killers -  Mr Brightside


Another great song, also good for singing along to, whilst cruising down the motorway.


3.  The Cars - Drive


Come on, how could a track called this, by a band called that, not make the list!


4.    Chris Rea - Road to hell


Okay, so this one is more for that part of the journey where the traffic is at a standstill, and you're just not moving - but a good song, so makes it a bit more bearable.


5.  I drove all night - Roy Orbison


Again, pretty stereotypical, but brilliant for driving.  Cyndi Lauper's version was okay too, but I think I prefer this one, Roy Orbison was a legend, often wonder what The Traveling Wilburys would have gone on to if he hadn't passed!

Okay, so there's my 5 top driving songs (I think - daresay next week I might have changed my mind).  Any advances???
