5. Gary Numan – Cars
In late 70’s there was a new music genre called new wave. It featured the massive use of synthesizers, along with catchy pop melodies and interesting lyrics. One of the best examples was England’s Gary Newman whose only U.S. hit was the classic Cars.
Even though cars are used as metaphors and there aren’t many actual car references in the song, this is still a new-wave classic and a good driving song.
