Rock music is still in top gear when it comes to driving songs, a public poll has confirmed.

Online service Insurance.com asked visitors to vote on the top tracks to play on the road, and 30 percent of people chose Journey anthem Don’t Stop Believin’.

In second place was Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, followed by AC/DC’s You Shook Me All Night Long. In fact very few of the top 20 are songs with no rock credentials whatsoever.

Insurance.com say: “Drivers haven’t stopped believin’ in Journey. Road warrior themes also drove the popular write-in choices, with Highway To Hell by AC/DC, Radar Love by Golden Earring and I Can’t Drive 55 by Sammy Hagar topping the list.”

Along with choosing their favourite five tracks, voters also picked the worst-ever driving songs, including The Baha Men’s Who Let The Dogs Out?, Taylor Swift’s We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and Cher’s Believe.
