Inspired by Adrian's thread, obviously. When I'm driving, I like mellow music. Keeps me from getting all aggro'd by the bad drivers.

Let's put forward some examples of good chilled-out driving songs. I can always use some more! Here's some of my standards for driving:

American Analog Set, Hard to Find (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OafUtslGNA)
Folk Implosion, Natural One (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n14FhOcJbg)
Morcheeba, Trigger Hippie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1VSK2HWmN4)

That's a starter set ...

Well, I usually prefer more up tempo stuff for driving, but then I think I like getting aggro on the road. ~D

Here's a few you might go for:
Boyz in the Hood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMlPVpXtkJY)

6 Underground (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq1ja7ISBuc)

Oh no! There goes... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTW19g-uUTw)

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Pink Floyd. You cant talk about mellowing out without mentioning the Floyd.

I love the Bee Gee's, Eagles (Hotel California), ABBA among some. It sends me to sleep, and its good when travelling to work on a busy day.

Dummy is a great album. Here's a live track from it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hba1_wHMSDQ&feature=related)

Can't talk about chilling music without mentioning Massive Attack as well. Their song Angel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZsHNkAJBDU) always slays me. When that guitar comes in out of nowhere ... man. Teardrop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG8eQBSp9Ao&feature=related) is an amazing song as well.

By chilling out, I assume keeping calm?

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Hawai'ian singer (massive dude), great songs including 'Wonderful World'.

My brother is a big fan of his. And yeah, his Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe5p1BXNCQM) mashup is one for the ages.
