I've always liked Home For A Rest by Spirit Of The West. Starts slow, picks up quickly though.
@Demobot
Also on Steam
Radar Love - Golden Earring. With Twilight Zone right after as a sustainer.
I Don't Believe in Love (Queensryche) can be pretty good, too. (Actually, quite a bit of Mindcrime is - Revolution Calling, which kicks off the album, and The Needle Lies are good, too. Just pop in the CD and find a stretch of Montana or Texas to have go by quickly.)
Red Barchetta - Rush.
Flirtin' with Disaster - Molly Hatchet
Black Betty - Ram Jam
..there's probably a website with such a list. I've seen this asked before.
Top Gear did a survey once, and Queens - "Don't stop me now", won.
Other driving songs i like are:
Rancid - Out of Control.
Clutch - Electric Worry.
Spiderbait - Black Betty (i like their version more for driving than Ramjams :O ).
Spiderbait - Ghost Riders in the Sky.
Fuel - Quarter.
I consider Red Barchetta by Rush the ultimate driving song.
Too many alts to list.
I always thought Offspring "Bad Habit" was a good driving song.
Also, White Zombie's "Dragula" and Kid Rock's "Ba Wit Da Ba"
BrandX Future Staff Fighter
The BrandX Collection
Rock is not my forte, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tom Petty's "Running Down a Dream" yet. As an added bonus, it mentions another good driving song, Dell Shannon's "Runaway."
"Bombarding the CoH/V fora with verbosity since January, 2006"
Djinniman, level 50 inv/fire tanker, on Victory
-and 40 others on various servers
A CoH Comic: Kid Eros in "One Light"

Do you mean songs associated with driving and/or cars, or just something up-tempo (and apparently rock/metal)? Because I can go either rock or mellow, the latter allowing me to get into the groove of a long haul cross-country trip.|

Not a mention of Midnight Rider by the Allman Brothers Band yet, huh? I'm speechless. I know some of you know better...
I'll also confess to the following:
Do It Again by Steely Dan
September by Earth, Wind, and Fire
(The last one's the only disco song I'll allow in my car - and I'm really ticked that I can't find a recording that does justice to the brass section)
Lowrider - WAR
A few songs by the Canadian bands that pretty much dominate my collection...

I like just about any Manowar album, Queen compilation, or Queensrÿche's Operation Mindcrime album for riding/driving. Though I might occasionally get in a TMBG or Rammstein mood. And then there are those times when I have to throw in the original Mortal Kombat album, to reassure myself that Johnny Cage is not, in fact, afraid to die.
And a little Dio every now and then couldn't hurt...
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
