Greatest Motorcycle Rock/Pop Song Ever?

[YellowSnow]

Born to be Wild was my go to karaoke jam but I’m also not afraid to admit I like Wanted Dead or Alive.

Born to Be Wild is the most culturally significant and it's not really close. Also arguably the greatest use ever of a Hammond B-3 on a rock record.

I can't hear a Hammond B-3 without thinking of My Kind of Love by Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray

Maybe if it's a dark, rainy night in your smoggy Lynwood studio apartment and you wanna shoot up some heroin while working on your novel.

I always envision more of an empty Arizona desert roadhouse on a Tuesday night kind of scene.

Wrong album then.

 

[YellowSnow]

Born to be Wild is definitely the respectable choice. I love Steppenwolf, and hate that they don't get the respect they deserve.

I voted for Little Honda to give the Beach Boys some love for their work outside of Pet Sounds.

I love Little Honda and the Beach Boys had plenty of great output from 1963- 65. But they were a singles band like most everyone else at the time pre 1966.

I laugh like a hyena at this scene every time I see it. So simple, yet perfect, understated physical comedy.

Don't care for this song really, though I'd wood Nicollette Larson's voice in it. I just wanted to be different.

Not quite sure, 6 maybe 7

 

[RaceBannon]

Did any of them want to stone you or own you?

 

[YellowSnow]

Not fucking Jackson Browne man.

I think I just recently read that he wrote that song. Had no idea.

I've never gotten into Sonny except for St. Thomas.

 

[Fishpo31]

I bought this album at a school carnival, used, when I was in 5th-6th grade. For me, this is my “motorcycle song”…

4 wanted to stone me and 2 wanted to own me

I can't listen to him at all. I know he's got fat opera singer talent. Don't care.
