Surely Queen? Don't Stop Me Now fits right in there. Or maybe it's too much of a certainty to be mentioned...

Instructor, not Professor. Any of the other RAPs (Chop Chop Master Onion, Prince Fleaswallow, and Cheap Cheap the Cooking Chicken) are awesome as well.

My driving mix is designed expressly for cranking at top volume while driving at 90+mph with the sunroof open yelling at fuckers to get the hell out of my way.
See, the other day I piss off this guy by nearly rearranging the back of his car due to the awesomeness of his non-existant reversing and looking-in-mirrors skills and the speed I was doing. And he's a big mofo and I'm really, not.
He blocks the road, stops, gets out of the car, stalks over to the front of my car like a Gorilla on heat and he's like, "Just fucking WAIT, motherfucker." He's seriously pissed off. I kept my best poker face, gave him the finger and waited for him to leave, but one of these days, he's going to have a crowbar, a little less restraint and no witnesses.
As Skeeter once said, "Never get out of the car."
So I figure relaxing a little more would be best for my health and my paintwork. People really are getting more shirty.
Tonamel, haven't gotten to your list yet but Lemon Jelly caught my eye. I'd forgotten about them, but I always loved the self indulgent bounciness of
Space Walk - 'Beautiful, Just Beautiful' <3

Prodigy - Firestarter
It is rumored to make your drive wreckless, but hey... all the better.

I'm not sure if it'll calm you down, but years ago a friend of mine told me that playing the Screaming Blue Messiahs got him there in half the time.

I remember liking to drive to Fastball's
The Way.
Quote:
They made up their minds and they started packing. They left before the sun came up that day. An exit to eternal sumer slacking. But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
Also, Smash Mouth's
All Star.
Quote:
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Both very catchy and the right pace for driving (although the lyrics to
All Star seem so much dumber in writing than when sung).
Also:
Tainted Love. Among other perks, let's you hit the steering wheel: "I've got to *bam* *bam* get a - way. I've got to *bam* *bam* run a - way ..."
I had a friend that had a tape of Creedence Clearwater Revival in his crappy ancient car. He would start "Down on the Corner" and race to get to a destination before it would end. It was such a pain in the ass ... every time, haha.
In GTA, if this counts at all, I liked to "drive" to the song that has the chorus "Feels like I just can't take no more...".

All about the Stone Roses: Resurrection and Fools' Gold (and if you buy the abortions that are the short-edit versions, Ian Brown and myself will personally bite your kneecaps off)
James Brown, classic Motown, christ even some Zeppelin are all acceptable.
Failing that, buy a Gatecrasher album and pump up da jam.
