I have many songs that I love to listen to but my favorite by far is Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, either that or Rush. I also enjoy metallica, led zeppelin, Motley Crue, and lots of other stuff...

There are very few country songs that give me that umph to hit the gas. Country is my cruising music to enjoy. To get the lead out I gotta hit the rock sounds. Sammy Hagar is good, AC/DC, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock...and some older tunes Beach boys, Jan and dean, George Thorougood (bad to the bone), Bob Seger....Many more. This is a good thread I love hearing others songs...maybe more I can listen to while speeding down the highway.

"Hicktown" - Jason Aldean
"Animals" - Nickelback
"Next Contestant" - Nickelback
Those are the ones that come right to mind. I love rolling the windows down and blasting Hicktown when cruising slowly around town. People consider that a redneck song, so they CERTAINLY don't expect it to come from a CORVETTE. On second thought, they probably don't expect the really loud exhaust either........
