Which are your Top 5 or even Top 10 Christmas driving songs? At this time of the year when many of us are sitting in cars driving to family or friends, what kind of music do you prefer to listen to?

Yes there are family feuds (something above 40% of all Xmas journeys have family fights in the car apparently?) but in and between those what is your fave Xmas music to drive to, or any kind of music?

My Top 5...only my first one is Christmassy....I couldn't find any real Xmas driving songs I like(d) so I extended my coverage. The first two I could listen to again and again, and like Abba's the Winner takes it All it raises the hairs on the back of my neck, and I do remember having it my car stereo on repeat as I drove at 140-150 mph on a clear stretch of the autobahn between the Dutch/German border and Duisberg.

That was about 12 years ago now...time flies when you get older.

1. Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea

2. I drove all night - Roy Orbison

3. Cruisin - Smokey Robinson

4. Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

5. Get out of my dreams , get into my car - Billy Ocean


All of you will have different choices, and there are lots of Xmas songs that are easy listening. Some like Slade are imo great Xmas songs but not great driving songs...and I have been listening to Noddy Holder every Xmas for about 40 years now (though it seems longer).

Hope you enjoy it?
