    One song that I've always liked while cruising in my Buick's is Todd Rungren's "Saw the Light". I'm sure you'll all agree,it's a cool tune.

    Now,I know topics like this have been posted before,(and I don't want to be repetitive)but what songs do you like listening to while cruising your Buick?

    I'd have to say, what I mostly listen to (in general, but also in the Buick) is some classic rock, and a lot of 50's and 60's stuff.

    Too many to name ATM, since its mostly the radio anyway.

    Some of you might think this is a little odd but I also like to listen to Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass when taking long road trips.It's just hard to be anything but happy when you listen to it.If some of you folks don't know who he is just remember the theme to the Dating Game Show from the 70's. :laugh:

    What about these?

    What a fun thread!

    How about some good instrumental pieces? I love songs but I have to say driving in traffic can bring out the need to listen to "Ride of the Valkeries" by Wagner (although I'm usually not falling past the Sears Building) or taking sharp turns to the music of "The Saber Dance" by Khatchaturian.

    The theme music from "Peter Gunn" can always make you feel cool :bglasses: . Not too hard to figure out one of my favorite soundtracks!

    "Ride of the Valkeries" great piece of music, reminds me of riding to battle in a helicopter as in Apocalypse Now. I didn't think they were making good music anymore until I heard "Last Summer by the Lost Profits a while back, could be ten years old as far as I know.
