Gotta agree with Nic about the Steppenwolf. The problem with it is it doesn't last long enough.

There's a number of Aftro Celt Sound System tracks that will see you though a long drive. Stay away from the the hypnotic ones unless you're not sleepy at all. "Hypnotica" can be good in cruise if you've stioked up with enough coffee. "Amber" is beautiful, but way too soporific. "Riding the Waves" is excellent, as are "Whirl-Y-Reel" and "Big Cat".

David Wilcox' s "Eye of the Hurricane" travels well. And Don Fagen's "Trans-Island Highway" is thematically correct. Almost anything by the Doobie Brothers works, but "Rockin Down the Highway" and "Takin it to the Streets" are obviously right on the money.
