I am working on a musical trivia contest at an automotive event. I
need the names of 10 to 15 well-known car-related songs. They shouldn't be
all US bands, since this an international audience. Include a few UK
bands (Beatles, Stones, etc.) They should be primarily rock classics.
Don't bother with The Cars. That's a no brainer. Also no Beach Boys.
I already have them on my list. A good answer could include the name
of a car-related band.
