I'm tired of going to car shows with the DJs playing 50s music. I was born in 57 and grew up (well, got older) in the 60s, 70s, 80s. I was thinking of doing my own CD about and mentioning cars. Here is my list - I'm looking for more ideas. Thanks, and have fun!

Radar Love Golden Earring
Love Shack B-52s (I’ve got a Chrysler, big as a whale)
Movin’ Out Billy Joel (He traded in his Chevy for a Cadillac…)
Ordinary Average Guy Joe Walsh (I drive a Chrysler, he drives a Dodge)
Stop Draggin My Car Around Weird Al Yankovic
America Pie Don McLean
Life’s Been Good Joe Walsh (My Maserati does 185…)
Baby You Can Drive My Car Beatles
Helen Wheels Paul McCartney
Pink Cadillac Aretha Franklin
Runnin’ on Empty Jackson Browne
Born to Run Bruce Springsteen
Little Old Lady From Pasedena Beach Boys
Highway Star Deep Purple
In Cars Gary Numan
Mustang Sally Wilson Pickett
Low Rider War
Mercedes Benz Janis Joplin
Magic Bus The Who
Little Red Corvette Prince
Take it Easy Eagles
Paradise by the Dashboard Light Meat Loaf
 
EXACTLY what I'm looking for! Thanks! James Taylor's "Traffic Jam" just popped into my head.
 
This is a really good idea! I think I'll make a mix myself. Here are some I pulled off the top of my head.....


Beach Boys 409, lil deuce coupe, shut down.
Springsteen (Manfred Mann) Blinded By The Light - "Revved up like a deuce...." or "Cut loose like a deuce..." Not Douche!!
Neil Young Long - May You Run. Written about his first car.
Foreigner - Rev On The Red Line
Bob Seger - Night Moves "Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy...."
Thomas Dolby - I Love You Good By "you better drive this dirty Datsun Into the Gulf of Mexico".
Starz - Cool One "I revved my Chevy up and revved it again......"

And finally, I don't think you should exclude The Cars - Drive. Not my favorite, but they did have an album with a 340 Duster on the cover so that automatically gives them bonus points! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbeat_City
 
Oh yeah, and how did I forget this song? "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln.."
 
era correct, but brand specific; mustang sally--the rascals
little duce coupe
409
has to be some ZZ TOP

there is a lot more but i have to be in the right frame of mind to remeber.
 
Car Wash Rose Royce
Car Wash Blues Jim Croce
All I Wanna Do Sheryl Crow
Beep Beep (Little Nash Ramber) Playmates

Keep'em coming, guys!
