At night I think of you

Was about to recommend rock and metal. ;~;

Tuesday's Gone-Lynyrd Skynyrd This is the greatest driving song of all time, especially if you're taking the scenic route in a convertible. Since you're a metal fan you could even listen to Metallica's version. Both are fantastic.

Popstar never stop popping soundtrack album

Two Steps From Hell Edit: WAIT DONT DO IT! I honestly listen to nothing else but this is not cheery music (most of the time).

Edit: just noticed you said no rap, so disregard that part of my list. And some specific songs off the top of my head- Knights of Cydonia Miss Atomic Bomb A Man I'll Never Be I Think We're Alone Now Thoughts of a Dying Atheist Come Sail Away Point of No Return Carry on My Wayward Son Don't Look Back Comfortably Numb California Dreaming American Pie Snow Under the Bridge Jesus of Suburbia Heat of the Moment Only Time Will Tell This time I won't Forget Chasing Cars Foreplay / Long Time The Globalist Thunderstruck Psycho Killer And She Was Here I Go Again Behind Blue Eyes December, 1963 Rosanna First Run Boy, Run Float On Hey, I Don't Know I Want to Know

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell" Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine" He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine" And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before "Relax, " said the night man, "We are programmed to receive. You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave! "
