The CruisingDome nomination thread - fill the tank and the CD changer

Previously we had a dome that determined which song most makes you wanna drive fast. But this time let's ease off the gas a little and celebrate the last lazy days of summer (and similar days from the rest of the year) by determining our favorite cruising music.

The qualification is simple - it's any music that makes you want to go cruising (on land) or is good musical accompaniment for when you are cruising.

You can nominate up to four songs here by providing links (not embeds). Songs that have won previous domes will not be permitted. Nominations will be open through Tuesday August 30th.

I'm going to have to think on this. I usually listened to books on tape, then CD, and now podcasts on long drives...

Home - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes
Graceland - Paul Simon
A Real Hero - College & Electric Youth
Twist the Knife - Chromatics

In my mind, there's a clear distinction between "road trip" cruising songs, and "driving around at night feeling moody" cruising songs, so I split the difference and nominated two from each category. In the former category, I consider the album Graceland to be the ultimate road trip album. Any number of songs from that album could have made the cut, but the titular song is the one that plays in my head when I think of the Platonically ideal road trip.

There's still room in the car and still time to join in before we take off - so send in your nominations if you want to come along*. We're only four songs away from having an even 32.

* Looking at you, @Falselogic and @WildcatJF

Sorry, had a very busy weekend and just discovered ants in the kitchen. Probably not getting anything done tonight for this. I'll try tomorrow.

Not to monopolize it, but if you need more songs I got more songs. Let me know if you need 'em.
