It would take me some time to figure out my favourite driving songs list, but one I have enjoyed a lot lately is All You Need Is Love by The Beatles. People here put reggaeton "music" to full volume in their cars, so to compete with them I just put "All You Need Is Love". It's like my own personal way of educating my country to listen to good music. And of course I sing the song so very loud jajaja. That's awesome :')

For those slowrides through town:

Moving in Stereo - The Cars
I'm Blue - The Shangri-Las
Down in Mexico - The Coasters
While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Beatles
More Than This - Roxy Music
Feeling That Way/Anytime - Journey
The Lady is Lingering - Sparks

To keep myself occupied driving at night:

Tryouts for the Human Race - Sparks

Simon Says - 1910 Fruitgum Co.
Hold Me - Fleetwood Mac
Lights - Journey
I Believe in a Thing Called Love - The Darkness
Mother of Pearl - Roxy Music
Beechwood 4-5789 - Carpenters
1-2-3 Red Light - 1910 Fruitgum Co.

I could think of dozens more. Music makes driving tolerable.
