As "rock" is invariably seen as typical "driving" music, you may also like to check out the suggestions in <b>Betho</b>'s: <A HREF="http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168862" target="_blank">What songs would be good for a classic rock compilation?</a>

When a pal asked a similar question on Usenet a while ago, here is what people said. I turned the first set - all from one guy - into a table (my own suggestion is the compilation at the end this post; not exclusively rock like these first selections but maybe still worthwhile if a change of pace is required):-

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" align="left"><tr><td><b>Van Halen</b></td><td>Mean Streets</td><td>Take your Whiskey home</td><td>Romeo's Delight</td></tr><tr><td><b>Black Sabbath</b></td><td>Supernaut</td><td>National Acrobat</td><td>After Forever</td></tr><tr><td><b>Thin Lizzy</b></td><td>Warrior</td><td>Gotta Leave This town</td><td>Chinatown</td></tr><tr><td><b>Kings X</b></td><td>Dogman</td><td>Groove Machine</td><td>Cigarettes</td></tr><tr><td><b>Riot</b></td><td>Fire Down Under</td><td>Outlaw</td><td>Altar of the King</td></tr><tr><td><b>Black Sabbath</b></td><td>Turn up the Night</td><td>Falling off the Edge of the World</td><td>Die Young</td></tr><tr><td><b>Corrosion Of Conformity</b></td><td>Clean My Wounds</td><td>The Door</td><td>Long Whip</td></tr><tr><td><b>AC/DC</b></td><td>Riff Raff</td><td>Down Payment Blues</td><td>Overdose</td></tr></table>&nbsp &nbsp

Here is the compilation tape I originally put together for a friend who was about to go on holiday. I'm not so sure driving was involved but, as I recall, the track selection took me some time so I thought I'd recycle it here [<A HREF="http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=242933" target="_blank">again</a> ;)]
