Heard this on the radio this afternoon driving back from the pool, it prevented me turning off Steve Wright for a couple of minutes.
‘Driving Seat’ by Sniff & the Tears
I’d never heard of it or them before - apparently yet another one hit wonder.
However it only seems to be available on a CD eg this one. Maybe Spotify has it online…

For me, the greatest track to drive to is Deep Purple’s “All The Time in The World” from their “Now What” live album.
After that, more or less anything from Jimmy Barnes / Cold Chisel
Chris Rea
The Road To Hell?, always gets things moving ??
Jim, you should get the Blue Planet soundtrack too
For something a bit more upbeat I like the album Duke by Genesis and various Barclay James Harvest albums.

It mostly consists of rock and car puns! Including…
- Music for driving with the top down (Bat Out of Hell, Deep Purple's Highway Star, Don't stop me now)
- Something a bit classical (Ride of the Valkyries, theme from Back to the Future)
- Classic car music (The Chain, Jessica)
- And songs for traffic jams (Long line of cars, In the waiting line, Cars by Show of Hands)
