Here are some good road trip songs:

"Born to be Wild" - Steppenwolf
"Hotel California" - the Eagles
"Oye Como Va" - Santana
"California Dreamin" - Mamas & the Papas

 

I ususally drag along a book full of Cd's for that very reason.

I love the Blues and lots of Dead on a long road trip..

 

Let it Ride - BTO
Sign of the Gypsy Queen - April Wine
One Fine Morning - Lighthouse
Forever Autumn - Moody Blues
Boys From Oklahoma - Cross Canadian Ragweed
San Francisco - Scott McKenzie
Summer Breeze - Seals & Croft
Abracadabra - Steve Miller Band
You - Three Dog Night
Eli's Coming - Three Dog Night
Heart of the Night - Poco
Bell Bottom Blues - Eric Clapton
Moondance - Van Morrison
Superstitous - Stevie Wonder

 

I'd take my iPod and hook it up to the car stereo. Now I got 15GB worth of music to listen to!


Seriously, an iPod is the ultimate road trip companion, you'd never run out of music.

 

'Course, theres Lowrider by War
And Same In the End, by Sublime, is a good song, if yer in a highspeed chase wit the federalis.

 

don't forget kraftwerk - autobahn! the perfect song for a road trip!

 

Well, if your going on the highway, some AC/DC would be great. Of course, it would make you lose concentration on the road, and you would end up halfway down a cliff off some mountain road.

 

Anything that is big and trucker-ish is always good. I agree with the War-Low Rider. Theme songs are good, like the Peter Gunn Theme song, or the theme to Bonanza. Road Trips and the wild west just seem to go hand in hand. Some Zepplin is good when you're on the highway. And a party (a road trip is a party) just isn't a party without Queen's Bohemian Rhaphsody, especially when you have a lot of people in the car.

 

ac/dc are awful

 

id say
the dorrs

Every song mentioned here, plus I have a mix of long songs that I like to listen to while on a roadtrip, I find they help pass the time quite well . Such as:

CCR - Heard It Through The Grapevine (Extended)
Allman Brothers Band - Mountain Jam
Pink Floyd - Echoes
Doors - When The Music's Over
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Voodoo Chile
Hendrix - Machine Gun
Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand
Beastie Boys - B-Boy Bouillabaisse
Zeppelin - In My Time Of Dying
Pink Floyd - Pigs
The Band - Tears Of Rage

 

Anything by Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash. Best driving music there is.

 

Highway Star by Deep Purple, but watch your speed cause this one tends to give you a ledfoot

 

Hotel California for me
