    Interesting thread. Thanks for kicking this off!

    Not one tune written after 1990, tho? No hip hop?

    Let’s face it, we are old! ;-)

    For me it’s Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion” or Sublime’s “What I Got.”

    But hey, I’m old too :)

    With most of the bikes I've ridden this song is never far away.

    Thanks for this thread, I've now got a fantastic playlist for the Bose system in my shed, I downloaded the music in FLAC ( Free Lossless Audio Codec) an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed without any loss in quality.:)

    Me and the guys in the band do passable versions of Faith Healer and Midnight Moses so those are in my top 5 toooooo pure class.

    Can't say which one makes me feel like riding my bike but I can say riding my bike breaks me free of being a rat in cage -

    This song is often in my head when I'm riding or driving long distances and it never fails to remind me of taking I-10 E from LA to Phoenix as a first real ride on my new (to me) GL1200E in February 1989.

    I'd heard this song on one of the rock FM radio stations in LA and hadn't heard of the singer but managed to buy the album on cassette and played it more than a couple of times on the 400 mile journey that kicked off the second part of my stateside odyssey! The rhythm of the highway indeed!
