When we are driving we all listen to music or the radio. The tempo of music has a direct effect on the way we drive. For instance, a fast tempo can help concentration and a slower tempo improves relaxation. Below is a collection of different music styles and songs that are great to listen to in the car.

Dance tunes are great to play when you are driving. Club music is popular during the summer season and currently in the charts are "Louder" by DJ Fresh, "Little Bad Girl" by David Guetta and "Give Me Everything" by Pitbull. The quick tempo will make the journey seem faster and will help to boost concentration and mood. Great dance songs of the past include "Better off Alone" by Alice DeeJay, "Now You're Gone" by Basshunter and "Where's Your Head At?" by Basement Jaxx.

Rock songs are a popular choice of music to listen to in the car. "Bat Out of Hell" by Meatloaf, "Talkin' ‘bout my generation" by The Who and "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi are classic rock songs that are often found on road trip playlists. "Live Forever" by Oasis is a brilliant track to play while driving. "The Bucket" by Kings of Leon and "How you remind me" by Nickelback are great sing along tracks. The beat and tempo of most Rock and Indie songs make them ideal tracks for driving.

Whether it's in the car listening to the radio or playing a cd, pop music invites you to sing along which is great for when you are driving. A classic favourite that will get you singing is "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey. Current pop tunes on everyone's playlist are "Last Friday Night (TGIF)" by Katy Perry and "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock. Other pop tunes that are great for road trips are "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz, "Disturbia" by Rihanna and "The Way I Are" by Timbaland. Singing along to music whilst driving will brighten up any mundane journey.

Listening to chilled out music is the best way to control road rage and to take the stress out of driving. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers have produced many songs suitable for car journeys. "By The Way" offers a relaxed rhythm with warm guitar work and harmonies. Songs such as "Speed of Sound" and "Trouble" by Coldplay are ideal for the journey home from work. Recent tracks like "Skinny Genes" by Eliza Doolittle and "I Need a Dollar" by Aloe Blacc are uplifting, relaxing tunes. Adele's popular and successful album 21 features top tunes to play in the car such as "Rolling in the Deep."

The type of music you listen to in the car is entirely down to your chosen taste as the collection of music that is great for driving is extensive. This is a handful of great songs that are perfect for the driving experience. Large selections of music can be bought from Amazon and Play.com
