I've had the same CD in my car that I've been listening to for almost a year; a lot of the songs are great, but I'm starting to get sick of some of them. I've started putting some new songs together for a new CD, but I only have this list so far:

- All Along the Watchtower
- Another Brick in the Wall
- Are You Gonna Be My Girl
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- A Day in the Life
- House of the Rising Sun
- People Are Strange
- Twist and Shout

This amounts to a little over a half hour of music, and my CD can hold around 1hr and 10minutes, so I'm looking for more music. Any suggestions?

Your drive looks a lot like mine! :-p

I think I enjoyed this song when I was much younger, while driving:

Or, perhaps not a carpooler.

That is a most excellent song in the vehicle. Headbanging is much safer than texting...

I must say that I love the addition of Poker Face.

Rider on the Storm is a great song, I might have to add it.
 
You have a car? When did this happen? How did you get your driver's license before me? You do realize what this means...

99 problems and Milkshake. Poker Face is what made me laugh the most, though :smile:

This is maybe not your type, but if you can stay awake then ambient music is perfect.

Hmm, not a single one in a major key! (Twist and Shout is "officially" in a major key, but it has heavy use of "blue" minor notes.) So if you somehow got a list of hit songs in minor keys that would likely be of use to you.
