Gene Vincent "Race with the Devil"
Vince Taylor and his Playboys "Brand new Cadillac"

 

Couldn't have said it better. I lived that era and I can tell you that no one listened to that swill. No one. It's like listening to MX 50's station. The play a lot of songs that no one ever listened to or even heard of back then.
If you want to hear real cruisin music, get a sound track of American Graffiti. Now that's cruzen music. When I watch the movie and see those cars cruisin to that music, I almost cry it's so beautiful.

 

nails on a chalkboard

 

Mike Ness: I'm In Love With My Car.
Social Distortion: The Creeps.
Social Distortion: Highway 101.
Agnostic Front: City Streets.
Powerman 5000: Car Crash.

 

An "answer song" to Whittier Blvd. This would sound great blasting out of a tube powered radio with a reverb unit in the back.

 

Mmm, panels 'n lace.

 

Ya'll are joking right? The Beach Boys/Jan and Dean were what your mom bought you for Christmas after a thorough examination of the lyrics.

 

How about "Uneasy rider 88" by Charlie Daniels

 

Charlie Ryan over Commander Cody all day, every day.

 

What.....no Roy's Toy!

 

Hi. One I have on a CD is Patsy Cline singing "Little red Coupe.

"Trampled Under Foot"

Greasy slicked down body, groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no sin

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Trouble-free transmission, helps your oil's flow
Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do it all

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, I could work all night, believe I've got the perfect tools

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

A model built for comfort, really built with style
Specialist tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to rise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama it's a perfect size

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the red
Gun down on my gasoline, I believe I'm gonna crack a head.

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]
I can't stop talkin' about...

Come to me for service every hundred miles
Baby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Fully automatic, comes in any size
Makes me wonder what I did, before we synchronized

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Feather-light suspension, Koni's couldn't hold
I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Oh, I can't stop talkin' about love.
~~!!Led Zep, 'cause time did not stop at the sock hop.~!!

 

Great stuff, everyone. I've picked up a few more for my playlist that I hadn't heard before. "15 Days Under The Hood" by the Paladins is a killer piece.

Nearly impossible to narrow it down to 5, but I'll throw these out there.
1) Can't believe nobody's mentioned Sammy Hagar and "Can't Drive 55"!?
2) Dick Dale and Stevie Ray Vaughan's duet version of "Pipeline".
3) "Lowrider" by War
4) "You Can't Catch Me" by Chuck Berry
5) "Hard Times Down the Road" by The Earl Brothers

And yes, music in the garage is about as traditional as it gets!!

 

"Hot Wired" by the Road Kings.

I'm too techno illiterate to post a link to it, but if someone can help a brother out...

 

None of you posted Johnny Cash - One piece at a time? Shame shame!

 

Wow I'm a long way away and have been playing Johnny Cash, Elvis and Cold Chisel this morning at full volumne
while working on my 40's style '27 T Coupe

 

Mercury Blues - Steve Miller Band
Radar Love -Golden Earring
Red Barchetta - Rush
Highway Patrol - Junior Brown
Manic Mechanic - ZZ Tiop

 

amen! sorry!

 

Neither old nor obscure but definitely not pop...

John Hiatt: 1. Detroit Made
2. Fireball Roberts
3. Tennessee Plates

 

No catalog is complete without Radar Love by Golden Earring

 

1st page, it was stated.

 

ZZ Top 'Chevrolet' from Rio Grande Mud 1972.

 

American Pie.

 

I can't stand working with a radio on.

I prefer the buzz of the welder and sounds of work.
