Top 10 Songs About Cars

[OnePimpTiger]

Got this from CNN, which they took from AOL Auto:

The 10 best songs about cars

Their list:
"She Runs Hot" by Little Village
"Long White Cadillac" by the Blasters
"Me and the Boys" by NRBQ
"Rollin In My Rolls" by Moon Martin and the Ravens
"Outskirts" by James McMurtry
"Crawlin' From the Wreckage" -- written by Graham Parker, covered by Dave Edmunds
"Cadillac Assembly Line" -- written by Sir Mack Rice, popularized by Albert King
"Long May You Run" by Neil Young
"Ramrod" by Bruce Springsteen

Honorable Mentions:
"440 Horses," ******* Sons of Johnny Cash
"Mustang Sally," original version by Detroit's Sir Mack Rice
"Blue Chevrolet," the Beat Farmers
"Makin' Thunderbirds," Bob Seger
"Six Days on the Road," Merle Haggard
"Diamonds On My Windshield," Tom Waits

What a ridiculous list! Just some of the top of my head that should have been included.

One Piece At a Time - Johnny Cash
Hot Rod Lincoln - performed by many, my favorite is Asleep at the Wheel
Ride On, Josephine - George Thorogood
Carl Perkins' Cadillac - Drive-by Truckers
409 - Beach Boys
Little Deuce Coupe - Beach Boys
Low Rider - War
Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin

And to round it out to 10, I would keep Long White Cadillac and Mustang Sally...the rest I would easily replace with the ones I listed. And I'm sure there are many others more deserving than their list!

Would you consider "Maybellene" by Chuck Berry a song about cars? If so, add it to my list :)

A few of my favorites:
No Particular Place To Go - Chuck Berry
Drive My Car - The Beatles
Red Barchetta - Rush
Low Rider - War

yes rap does get left out EVEN THOUGH most people driving now adays listen to rap.

i agree with that list for the most part red but i think some t.i. song needs to be in there. maybe 'front back'? also 'my 64' by mike jones should be there

Not necessarily...most people driving with their music blaring loud enough for everyone to hear is listening to rap.

Vanilla Ice " 5.0"

[Oxxon]

Prince - Little Red Corvette. He was talking about something else but he compared it to a car.

Gary Numan - Here in my Car

1000% true...lol

it was cool in the 1990's when there was actually good rap music to blast...now im just wondering why people even play some of this crap, let alone play it loudly?

i agree with that list for the most part red but i think some t.i. song needs to be in there. maybe 'front back'? also 'my 64' by mike jones should be there

i don't listen to much T.I. so nothing jumped out at me...and Mike Jones is just flat out awful...lol...Mike Jones would probably get my vote for worst rapper of all time

Slick Black Cadillac- Quiet Riot (not sure about name of song)

Le Disko- Racecars (again not sure about name of song)
