My Top 5 Songs To Speed To.

Speeding. Every driver's guilty pleasure. We all do it sometimes. Whether just to get around a large truck we're uncomfortable following or just for the pure fun of it. This is best punctuated by music. Here are my favorite selections from 5 to 1.

5. Radar Love by Golden Earring. This one, as they say is an oldie but a goodie. The theme is easily understood to anybody that ever had to drive a long distance at night. The man in the song is taking a drive at 4:30am to meet up with his girlfriend and is in a hurry to get there. At that hour, usually it's just you and the road. So hammer down.

4. Turn The Page by either Metallica or Bob Seger (depending on mood. Mostly....you can't go wrong with Seger.) This song best personifies the frustration that can sometimes come with driving. During a long drive at times you would give anything just for it to be over. When that happens you surrender to that message from your brain and throttle up.

3. Demon Speeding by Rob Zombie. This is a much heavier selection. You have to be in the right mood. But the opening guitar that hits you with such force is the perfect compliment to mashing the pedal. Plus, the with a title and a chorus like that, you get the general idea.

2. Breaking The Law by Judas Priest. Speeding is breaking the law. Need I say more? Plus with Glen Tipton and KK Downing doing one of the fiercest guitar solos ever in such a short song you have a winner.

1. Jet City Woman by Queensryche. I chose this one because it's one of my all time favorite songs from my all time favorite band. The opening verse brings such an anticipation. Nothing beats when everything drops out and the chorus kicks in with more intensity than you expect. Much like Golden Earring's song it's about a guy desperate to get to his girl. Most of us can relate to that too.
