Well then, Justin, how about the reasons why a good cruisin tune is what it is? The tune has to have a good rythmn section going (like a lopey idle), no slow ballads allowed, no slow-down's in the middle (rules out Led Zepplin's "Whole Lotta Love", for instance), lyrics have to reference driving a car at some point during the song, and when you hear it on the radio you can't help pushing the accelerator down just a bit harder.

I would submit Deep Purple's "Highway Star" and ZZ Top's "Lowrider" as two fine examples.

I agree with what spikedog says, that's why Radar Love is such a good cruising tune. But I also love the sound of a well played guitar. That's why the blues is the music for me on the road. That lonely, whining guitar masterfully played is like therapy for me!

Oh yeah, Radar Love is up there in the top ten. From the first line "Been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel", the right foot involuntarily flexes forward. By the time the song ends, you look down at the speedometer and go "what the.....whoa!"

A lot of times it depends on my mood or if I riding with my wife & daughter.

ie : Bad Co tunes cover the listenin ear well, seagull= slow music
bad co song= when you just cruisin & feel good, lookin bad.
Rollin Stones ie : under my thumb, reminds me of those hard to get girls back in high school, who sooner or later find themselves on the opposite end of the stick.[ no longer being persued ]
Tupac when the day isn't going quite as well & I want to say f it[ if you know what I mean , smile ], i don't like for my 15 month to hear that though.

Does the above kinda of give you a better idea now ?
Peace, I 'll check the site later to hear more crusin likes.
