There are 118 songs in random order. You can select up to 59 or as few as you want, but anything with 0 votes is getting cut. I wanted to do this 1v1, but I’d go crazy making 59 entries, so this opening round is just to whittle the list down a bit.

That HTML embed does not work, sorry.

(We have 25 responses, so I’m bumping this one last time before closing the vote this evening.)

Where’s Flirtin’ With Disaster by Molly Hatchet?

Train, Train by Blackfoot?

Gypsy Road by Cinderella? Those are my Top 3 driving songs.

Sadly, I had to take whatever was nominated. I even allowed songs that were nominated when I posted the final list and explicitly said I wouldn’t accept new nominations.

Fake comments! This is the yugest and legitimatest vote on Oppo.

I am happy “Jerry was a racecar driver” made this list. I jam out to that song wayyyyy too often.

Already been been done before, “Black Betty” is the greatest driving song............................ In The World.

Alternate take: Glad to see it was omitted as it may be the most overrated driving song ... In History. :)

It’s kind of amazing how out of 118 submissions, some obvious things didn’t make the cut. And I wasn’t strict at all, I let people submit as many as they wanted and even counted troll votes for Youtube videos.

Running in the 90s is the winner right?

I’m betting either crocodile alligator interior or Saudis in Audis will win, because Oppo. Destiny commands it.

There is only one true answer from that list. But I would bet that very very few will vote for it. Stupid democracy.

It’s team only song on the list that makes my GTI rwd and turns a gentle drive through the south downs national park into a touge run down mount Haruna

Voted, but I’d like to point up that IMO a great driving song doesn’t have to be about cars. For example some of my favorites:

Anything Goes - Florida Georgia Line, Come On Down - High Valley, Confession - Florida Georgia Line, County Line - High Valley, Knee Deep - Zac Brown, The Sound of Silence - Disturbed (cover), The Unforgiven - Metallica, Where the Boat Leaves From - Zac Brown, All About Tonight - Pixie Lott.

That last one is especially odd. Not even a vague connection to driving or cars, out of line with many of my preferences and yet if there are cops around me when it starts playing I’m screwed.

Worst driving music? Pretty much anything by Eminem. I’m a fan of his music but driving to it is impossible to me. Probably the way his rhythms work or something.

No Approaching Curve by Rise Against??????? The Roadside is a good driving song by them as well. I would also suggest Fireworks by Detroit.

Because Oppos are trolls.

I’m going to break these down into 1v1 polls, but I’ve been procrastinating because polldaddy sucks and won’t let me export to excel without a pro account, which makes figuring out seeding a bitch.
