The Soundtrack of the Open Road: 10 Songs That Belong in Every Classic Car

Some songs become part of a car's story. You remember what was playing on a first drive, a road trip with friends, or the day a long-running project finally left the garage.

Here are ten listening ideas to start the conversation. They're favorites for your own soundtrack, rather than a promised MCSR playlist or on-demand mix.

  1. "Born to Run" — Bruce Springsteen
  2. "Radar Love" — Golden Earring
  3. "Running on Empty" — Jackson Browne
  4. "Life Is a Highway" — Tom Cochrane
  5. "Roll On Down the Highway" — Bachman-Turner Overdrive
  6. "Highway to Hell" — AC/DC
  7. "Low Rider" — War
  8. "On the Road Again" — Willie Nelson
  9. "Born to Be Wild" — Steppenwolf
  10. "Against the Wind" — Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
