'Unleashed'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Jackal has assembled a list of the writers of the first batch of episodes from various sources here:
OK, normally I'd let that slide, but considering Jackal did cite it there, isn't the "various sources" basically my site?
And while we're on the subject, there are other writers on staff who haven't been credited yet.
Okay, one source. My mistake.
So is DRIVE getting a big honkin' song for its opening credits, or will it just have an instrumental (or less a la LOST's "whoosh")?
I don't care cause I'm still free You can't take the road from me...
We had a few email with artists pimping their songs for the opening credits. One of them was convinced their song was perfect for the tone of the show, but it was a folksey guitar song.

Heh. What made me wonder was a John Foxx (the original lead singer of Ultravox way back in the 70s) song that I have on a 2003 disc he did called "Drive" that could be kinda perfect, except I think the song's probably moodier than Fox (the network, not the singer - heh again) would like for a show they are pimping the shit out of.
Decidedly not folky, unless you count old school synths as folky.
New age folk.
Yeah, I don't know where I was going with that.
I still think that Loggins & Messina song "Ride, Ride, Ride" would be great for it.
Elastica's "Car Song" or Garbage's "Driving Lesson" would be fun.
Gary Numan: Cars. Probably WAY too old, but there are a few spiffed up versions (both by Gary and by others) that might suffice.
