We all know we can listen to our own music while playing GT5, so I would like to start a tread where you can recommend other players some interesing combinations of songs, specific cars (or types) and courses which are worthy of listening to in GT5 while pure driving, doing time trials or racing.
Songs can come from some movies, video clips, from the same years or have something in common with given cars. As I am not a native English speaker I don't take any greater notice to their lyrics and meaning. Just pure pleasure during a race or a cruise.
Because I've also got Forza Motorsport 4 (some of you too) I will occasionally give examples of cars in that game (when the given car can't be found in GT5, or is not a premium car - listening to music while driving in cars with fully modeled interiors makes me more pleasure and fun).
I'll start with a few examples.

Title: Cosmic Girl
Recommended cars: primarly FERRARI F40, you can also use 512 BB or Lamborghini Countach '88. In FM4 you can choose F40, F355 or Diablo.
Recommended courses: long winding roads, especially Toscana Tarmac in the course maker (time elapse on, manual gearbox, flashing with headlights) or Lamborghini Seasonal Event on that course, Grand Tour event with Murcielago.
