Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie!
I agree with all of your picks and add Blondie's "The hardest part".
"Melissa" by Allman brothers is one of my faves...
Then there is
"Blue Sky" by Allman bros:
"Good ol' Sunday Morning bells are ringing everywhere,
Goin' to Carolina, wont be long before I get there,"
I was listening to these lyrics on a 24hour stright drive from Texas to Carolina. we drove through the night, and on about 7am Sunday we hit Georgia and I-95 ... popped that song on, it really hit the spot.
"Southbound", "Rambing Man" etc. Then in "Melissa":
'Crossroads, seem to come and go, ...Gypsy flies from coast to coast'
... this band must have written a lot of songs on the road.
I'd rate the Allman bros as the #1 Driving Song band.
Best.Pop.Tune.Ever.

Yea my wife can tell you a story about 'Ride of the Valkyries' a rainy night and a busy highway in the mountains of WNC. Screaming through the night with Semi's on one side and nothing but blackness on the other. What a rush, the Valkyries would have been proud. (I'm really getting too old for this stuff)
She still beats me up over that one every once and a while.
