You're out there, in your vette cruising, what's your go to song, your jam ? My favorite is the beach boys I get around, first ride I had in my dad's vette he played that song, it just stuck with me.

I have a pandora Play list that has everything from Radar Love, Heavy Metal, Do Ya, Love is Alive, Drivers seat, Candy O, black betty, lawyers guns and money, interstate love song, Im free, Darling Nikki, enter sandman, fox on the run, unbelievable, and Kickstart my heart....its all sorts, my favorite is what hits me at the moment and makes me bang shift on down the road!!!!
Spotify has a "Hits of 1972" playlist. Sometimes I will let that play as I'm tooling around in my "Way Back Machine". The feel, smell and sound of driving this car, with those tunes on the radio, really does bring me back to that time so many decades ago.
That being said, I don’t listen to any music in my Corvette. I enjoy hearing the wind and the motor as I drive around and shift through the gears.
This may be an oddball choice, but for long drives (in my DD) I love Dire Strait’s “Telegraph Road.” I need to listen to it uninterrupted. It’s a very wistful song that starts slow and builds up faster, essentially about the rise and fall of a major city (probably Detroit). There are a couple of minutes of guitar after the singing has stopped, and the song doesn’t actually end; it just stops being recorded.
”Life was just a bet on a race between the lights,” and “I’ve run every red light on memory lane,” are some of my favorite lyrics.
Car Tunes
I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one nite
when an XKE pulled up on the right.
He rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
and challenged me then & there to a drag.

Listen to music??? Windows down. T-Tops off and I fire the Red beast up and hit the road. My music is the purr of that 350 with the 350/350 cam echoing out the Pypes 2 ½ exhaust. I guess I am not the only one who likes it because I get a ton of "Thumbs Up" heading down the highway!! I don't even know if my radio works!!!

As valid as that sounds, it starts to get real old after four or more hours on the freeway, brother. I don't care how good the motor sounds - it turns into droning after a while. I've made several long distance road trips and countless all-day drives/cruises, and music is essential, IMO. Music is there to compliment the sound of the engine, not overpower it. If you enjoy going hours/days of driving without music in the background, you are a unique creature.
Try watching a movie with no soundtrack.... it's a bizarre and generally unpleasant experience. Music is ingrained in our lives, and it helps make the world a better place, especially when cruising. A lot of our best memories come from places, smells, and yes, MUSIC.
