Highway hero song debate: guilty pleasure vs. all-time classic

Last Tuesday on I-35 near Austin, my playlist died at the worst moment, so I hit shuffle on my old library. It landed on some cheesy 80s power ballad I haven't heard in 20 years, and I blasted it for the full 40 minute drive with my window down. My friend in the passenger seat was laughing at me, but I was totally into it, singing every word at red lights. That got me thinking about what we each pick as the ultimate car crank song. Some folks swear it has to be a timeless rock anthem, like something from Queen or AC/DC that everyone knows. But I'm now convinced the real magic is in a song you're embarrassed to admit you love, because you play it with zero shame when no one you know is around. So what's your go-to max volume jam, the one that makes you feel unstoppable no matter if it's cool or not? Is it about pure nostalgia, or is it about the beat hitting just right on a straight stretch of road?
