Road trip music

[taterguy]

Tomorrow I'll be driving alone over 300 miles. What should I listen to on the way?

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Queens of the Stone Age's "Songs For The Deaf" is basically made for that

Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Fever Tell" is good driving music as well.

[Burma Jones]

[Tyrone Slothrop]

3. Modest Mouse's

"This Is a Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About" is an awfully appropriate album title.

That's one of my favorite long drive albums (along with their "The Lonesome Crowded West" and a few others.)

[XemaSab]

7. Word

Pretty much any of their albums will do.

[Left Is Write]

4. "Roadhouse Blues" and "Radar Love" are two of my favorites for driving.

I also favor AC/DC's Back In Black album.

[AllegroRondo]

5. I always like Led Zepplin and the Doors for long trips

but thats just me.

[IA_Seth]

6. I'm partial to Johnny Cash..

The songs are short, the lyrics are funny and quick to pick up, and anyone can sing along.

Besides, "I'm not the One" and "Get Rhythm" are stuck in my head right now.

[peacefreak]

8. Take Five-- Dave Brubeck

Kind of Blue--Miles Davis

[trof]

9. Audio books. Check your library.

FREE!

[LSK]

10. listen to something that you will like

Or see if there are any AAR stations along the way.

[GOPisEvil]

11. Son Volt

:thumbsup:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Stop by a used cd store

And pick up something new to you that looks interesting.

[ohiosmith]

13. george thorogood

[flvegan]

14. Rise Against, Siren Song of the Counter Culture

that is, if you don't mind speeding tickets.
