Red Barchetta

Artist: Rush

Album: Moving Pictures (1981)

Why Its Great: Approximately one gazillion bands have written songs about open roads and fast cars. Only one band sets that story in a future in which cars are outlawed and it’s somehow the most relatable one.

Best Listened To: Somewhere without speed traps.

Key Lyric: I spin around with shrieking tires/ To run the deadly race/ Go screaming through the valley/As another joins the chase
