How many of us listen to Johnny Walker on radio 2 on our drives home? I do, and particularly enjoy his "cruising" feature (3 great driving tracks chosen by a listener, and played after the 6 o' clock news.)
I know JW reads HJ's column in the Telegraph.
If we could come up with a backroom cruising, I bet he would play it. How about a poll?

My first suggestion would be Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild

Autobahn by Kraftwerk.
|
"gimme all your lovin" ZZ Top
"the house is rockin" Stevie Ray Vaughn
|
|
|
Rondo Venezia - La Serenissima
William Orbit - Adagio for Strings
|
Hey Jude - best Beatles track ever
You wear it well - Rod Stewart
Bohemian Rhapsody - oh the motoring memories!
|
Boston - More than a feeling
Dire Straights - Sultans of Swing
Pink Floyd - Shine on you crazy diamonds
Ocean Colour Scene - The Riverboat Song
and when I'm in a really bad traffic jam,
Rachmaninov - Études?tableaux, No 4 in D Minor(Probably my most favourite piece of music in the whole of time oddly enough. But I really do have to be stressed in order to listen to it in the car)

Or maybe I didn't. Doesn't seem to like É's one little bit.

Dire Straights ????
I think the original spelling was more politically correct.

Straits *Whoops
I'm just in automatic mode!
Whenever I go to type Golf as well I end up typing Gold unless I make a conscious effort to avoid it.
Oh well...
