Default What's the one song that makes you down shift and increase RPM'S?

I figured I give us something fun to do, especially for those of us in the North East waiting for the snow to melt. I didn't know if we would be allowed to swap music on site here, but I thought it would be a neat idea to see what was one of our favorite songs that made us pick up the pace, increase RPM'S, and drive at speed. If I had to pick one it would be Cheryl Lynne's, "Got to be Real." When I hear this song I definitely check the seat belt and hit the sport chrono button. Give us your favorites, just one, and maybe we all can build a Rennlist library.

Tremendous choice, PT! great memories with that one.
Mine was "Home" by Marc Broussard (kind of obscure -check it on iTunes).

I guess the one song that does it for me is the tune of the engine itself!! Makes me want to downshift every time!

I'm with 1080IAddict on this !!! Although the guitar solo at the end of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb is a close 2nd.

Either of two songs by Credence Clearwater Revival:

1. Bad Moon Rising
2. Up Around the Bend (This one pushes you... hard!)
