Born to Be Wild is the most culturally significant and it's not really close. Also arguably the greatest use ever of a Hammond B-3 on a rock record.

I've told this story before, but back in 1969 when my Daddy was going to language school for the US Air Force in DC, he went to see Easy Rider the same day that there was a massive anti war protest going on. Said he came out of the theater and they were tear gassing the Weatherman guysm. Heavy shit.

On the topic of motorcycles and R&R, in 1979 I took a friend to his first rock concert. It was at the Pendleton Armory, and the band entered the stage on choppers...Blue Oyster Cult.

I was gonna offer Turn the Page as an option but I think that's more about being on the road with a band than riding a motor bike.

The Steel horse in Wanted Dead or Alive I always thought was the tour bus as the song is about life on the road

It’s about crab fishing in Alaska.

Little Honda - The Beach Boys

Born to be Wild is definitely the respectable choice. I love Steppenwolf, and hate that they don't get the respect they deserve.

I voted for Little Honda to give the Beach Boys some love for their work outside of Pet Sounds.

I can't hear a Hammond B-3 without thinking of My Kind of Love by Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray

This also would have worked in the "people who are more athletically coordinated than Kim" thread.

Maybe if it's a dark, rainy night in your smoggy Lynwood studio apartment and you wanna shoot up some heroin while working on your novel.

I always envision more of an empty Arizona desert roadhouse on a Tuesday night kind of scene.
