What are your favorite movie soundtracks that you can drive to (keep you awake)?? Thank you sooooooooooooo much ... I know it looks like I have a long list but when you listen to them 4x a week ... you need more to mix in with it. |
Well, I'm normally driving with my teenagers. Or should I say, they are doing the driving. So, I have to listen to their tunes, and I'm not into either one. My son is a metalhead and my daughter is into rap - both genres I don't really like. =(

ok, I didn't scour your list, just glanced at it, so hopefully I don't copy too many songs. I love songs that I can sing along to. That's what keeps me awake driving.
Good to Go to Mexico (Toby Kieth) Build Me Up Buttercup (The Foundations) Downtown (Petulia Clark) Tie a Yellow Ribbon (Allen Dale...I think) Loser Baby (Beck) Everytime I Look at You (Kiss) (I promise it's a good one!) What a Day for a Daydream (Lovin' Spoonful) Raining on the Sky (Naked) (DH and his BFF in high school deemed this the best driving song ever. I love it too!) In the Rough (Anna Nalick) Somebody Told Me (The Killers) Living on a Prayer (Bon Jovi) Hot Hot Hot (Buster Poindexter) Nothing Better (Postal Service) She Said Yes (Brad Paisley) 500 Miles (The Proclaimers) Fireflies (Owl City) It's a Great Day To Be Alive (Travis Tritt) Jamie (Weezer) Island in the Sun (Weezer) Beer for my Horses (Toby Kieth) I'm Yours (Jason Mraz) Lucky (Jason Mraz) Sometimes I just put in a Nat King Cole Greatest Hits. Wicked the Musical Soundtrack Xanadu (Olivia Newton John!)

Actually I didn't see a single repeat song on your list ... I will go to itunes and check out every single one of them!!! ...guess I will get out to Sam's Club and buy me some itunes gift cards (they are at a slight discount there) There are quite a few artists that are new to me ... so this will be fun. Thank you! |
What about Chicago? Saturday In The Park
Legally Blonde the Musical (I saw it on Broadway so that might make a difference) |

In fact, DH and I have fond memories of it too, because it was playing on the radio as we were leaving our wedding reception (which ended a bit tensely because of my crazy aunt), and it totally too away all of the bad feelings. Such a happy song! :) I hope you like some of the songs I recommended! I like a lot on your list too. You can probably search most of them on youtube to get a good preview as well. Let me know who you like! I love sharing music! |
What about the Hairspray soundtrack? That's so fun and upbeat.
I love Taylor Swift, too. Let me look through my "peppy playlist" and find some suggestions for ya. BRB :) |
OK here are a few suggestions. Sorry for any duplicates!

LOL I know I could come up with more, but I'll leave it here for now. :) |
What about The Middle or Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World? Or, lol, Shawna mentioned this on a thread a while ago, and I immediately got hooked on it: Bulletproof by La Roux. Hmm, and I see you like Matchbox Twenty :wub: Their entire first album rocks... Not sure what else to suggest, I listen to mostly alternative/rock, but these are good songs to sing along to.
