Hi all,

I want to compile a list of UK drivers’ favourite trucking anthems - don’t necessarily have to be ABOUT trucking, can just be your favourite driving tunes - what do you put on when you need a boost?

I’ve searched google but all the lists I’ve found are American…

I’ll kick things off, here are 5 that spring to mind:

  1. Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf (I know it’s not motorbikes, but it’s such a classic! :smiling_imp: )
  2. I Drove All Night - Roy Orbison
  3. Bat out of hell - Meat Loaf
  4. Don’t Stop me Now - Queen
  5. I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash

Let me know what your favourites are…
