Great music and great cars go hand in hand, and on both accounts, we’re a crowd that celebrates how they used to make ’em. That’s because today’s hip-hop and what-have-you just doesn’t suit cruising the strip in your classic, working the four-speed or weekend wrench sessions in the garage.

With that in mind, we went back down to the lab a cooked up a double-dose of the classic cruising tracks you remember from back in the day. Scraping the vault on everything from the 1950s to the late ’70s, we put together this list of 72 tracks that are sure to keep your wheels spinning. We uploaded our playlist straight to Spotify for everyone to enjoy, featuring music from the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, to ZZ Top, Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones.

"The times they are a changing," Bob Dylan says, but our latest tracklist is sure to kick you down a gear for a fond trip down memory lane.
