Definitely something with a fast beat. Something I can sing along with. If any passengers are familiar with it as well, all the better.

After listening to the newest My Chemical Romance album, I've never wanted a desert highway to drive down more in my life.

Of course, it also depends on your situation in life. If you're struggling with a breakup, the Boys Like Girls album Love Drunk is great to listen to while you're driving down a quiet highway.

Damn, now I have to go on a drive. Good thing my car works again!
