I'm not asking for your favorite song, or necessarily for your favorite 'loud' song. But what are some of the best songs to listen to in the car that you can just BLAST?
My list starts with:
Casualty of Love - WEDDING SINGER
One Day More - LES MIZ
It's Your Wedding Day - WEDDING SINGER
Without Love - HAIRSPRAY
My sis and I like to crank up "Great Big Stuff" in the car. And we try to recreate Norbert's Tony performance. Hard to do while keeping your hands on the wheel.
Yeah, we're dorks. But it's tons of fun.
She Goes
Desert Island Top 5 Break Ups
both from High Fidelity
RENT has a lot of blare worthy music
Bright Lights Big City!

Also, "Pinball Wizard" and "Acid Queen" make for some good speaker blasting!

What Is This Feeling?
Dancing Through Life
Do You Hear the People Sing?
One Day More
The Phantom of the Opera
^Totally agree with those two Hair songs. Even adding on Gavin Creel's "Going Down."
Also "Let it Go" from The Full Monty.
"My Body Is My Business" from THE LIFE by Cy Coleman
"Walk Him Up The Stairs" from PURLIE
"Let's Hear It For The Boy" from FOOTLOOSE
"Seasons Of Love" from RENT
"Rich Man's Frug," and "Rythmn of Life" from SWEET CHARITY
I like the Overture and The Phantom of the Opera from The Phantom of the Opera. RENT also has a few good songs to blast on the car stereo.
Oh, what a great idea for a thread! "Right in Front of Your Eyes" from The Wedding Singer is my favorite, of course i sound nothing like Amy Spanger. I liked also "Defying Gravity" and "No Good Deed" awhile back...yeah...i can't believe im so cheesy.
It's Your Wedding Day, Casualty of Love, Saturday Night in the City, Right Infront of Your Eyes, and Let Me Come Home - THE WEDDING SINGER
Uuuh... quite a bit from JERSEY BOYS (especially this one), RENT, and ALTAR BOYZ. Umm. I'm sure if I had the cast recording to WE WILL ROCK YOU that would be on this list, too. Haha. Because, uh, blaring Queen rocks. Even if it's not Queen performing it.
Oh! Rent and Bombay Dreams too.

Most of the ones already listed. Also, "Music and the Mirror" from A Chorus Line.
I tend to do it with my windows closed so as not to get strange looks, but Make My Garden Grown from Candide sounds INCREDIBLE when you blast it.
This is The Moment - J/H
Anything From Tommy
I Go to Rio - BFO
If I only had a car but that would be useless as I have no license. if I had a license i would not drive with my eye problems (aversion to bright lights)
Overture- Phantom of the Opera. nearly gave to guy in the car next to us a heart attack with that.
You Can Be As Loud As the Hell You Want- Avenue Q. Just to be obnoxious...
Downtown- Little Shop of Horrors- So fun!
And Defying Gravity- Wicked Of course.

LOL So true. I like hearing those big brassy songs cranked up a little on car stereo mostly.

A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste from Whistle Down the Wind.
I do enjoy La Vie Boheme in the car. Once, I was at a red light and my windows were closed, but I was listening to it and singing and dancing in the car. I looked to my right, and this old couple in the car next to me were staring and laughing.
Nobodys On No-Bodys Side! Chess (London version)
To add to the Wedding Singer list..."Not That Kind of Thing"!
Also, if you are in a hurry to get to a meeting, "Racing With the Clock" from Pajama Game is always fun.
I love "Not that kind of thing" I said hold it! Tracee is hilarious!
