My friend is going to be taking a long road trip at the end of August with friends, and he needs some good road trip music for mix CDs.

Road trip music is the music that everyone can sing along to. Fun music. "Pour Some Sugar On Me," for example. Or "Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane. (You know "..life is a hiighway..I wanna drive it all night looong..")

Any suggestions?

Baby Please Don't Go - Them
The Motorcycle Song - Arlo Guthrie
Readymade - Beck
Gypsy Eyes - Jimi Hendrix
I've Been Everywhere Man - Johnny Cash
Finding Out True Love is Blind - Louis XIV
The Hunt - Louis XIV
Saftey Dance - Men Without Hats (COMEDY OPTION!)
Old Time Relegion - Pete Seeger
Ball and Chain - Social Distortion
Screenwriters Blues - Soul Coughing
This Ain't No Disco - The Talking Heads
Rudy Can't Fail - The Clash
Destroyer - The Kinks
Run Run Run - The Velvet Underground
Out the Window - The Violent Femmes
La Grange - ZZ Top
Cheap Sunglasses - ZZ Top

Those are the ones off my small music cache on my non-school computer.

To answer you, ICE, on LMP's first album the first cut is good, "Lights Out" obviously, and "Sinking In."

On the second CD, "I'll Figure It Out," "Thanx," "Shine" (a duet with my personal idol, P!nk) and "Idiot." I'm not a "Dirty Laundry" fan, but it's okay as well.

Great suggestions, guys. (Though I'm not a fan of the Beatles.) Also, EG, Little Bitty Pretty One is great, but I much prefer the slightly-higher Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers version.

Got lots of Queen, and a few of Italian's suggestions (who I admittedly had never heard of.)

Thanks, all!

"Bat Country" - Avenged Sevenfold

thats one that I can think of

I like a lot of 70's music, older R&B, and I like a lot of 80's music too. Most people only mean classic rock and the damn idiot Beatles when they say that, but not me.

quote:

Staying Alive - Bee Gees

And I thought I was the only one who had any ties to that era. Actually I just watched Saturday Night Fevor last night. Go Iceland!

The only one at the top of my mind is Baby You can Drive my Car by the Beatles. But I personally think anything besides their early Dear Prudence stage is wonderful roadie music.

Anytime - Eve6, it's a great song off the Out Cold soundtrack
Slow Suicide - JamisonParker
3AM - Matchbox Twenty
Stop the Rock - Apollo Fourty Four, off the Gone in 60 Seconds soundtrack
Wayward Son - Kansas
Slow Ride - Foghat
The way you Like it - Adema
Always - Saliva
Get Over it - Ok Go
No Sleep till Brooklyn - Beastie Boys
Machine Head - Bush

If no-one suggested Bohemian Rhapsody before EG...we're stupid. Also, Another One Bites The Dust is great...Freddie Mercury has a great vocal part in that with the hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-EY-ey-ey-ey-! thing.

Yeah I really like Lisa-Marie Presley. She was on Conan O'Brien once and was a great guest, she's really dark and calm and pretty funny/witty, she was cool. Also, I like the way she looks, it's interesting and it's cool how much she's like her father. Finally Lights Out is a great song imo...and the music vid is great. It has a country feel to it and yet it doesn't irritate me in any way...which is amazing for a country song. The way she yells at the end of ths song is just cool.

You are the only one who bought her CD Euterpe. No one I know knows about or likes her in anyway. That annoys me...I hate it when I'm the only one that likes a good artist and it happens aaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllll the time. Always. It's always happening. I hate all my friends for that. In fact **** them and everyone else with ****ty lame common plain boring tastes in music.

She have any other good songs?

West End Girls - Pet Shop Boys
More Than A Feeling - Boston
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
What It's Like - Everlast
Little Bitty Pretty One - Thurston Harris
Feel Good, Inc. - Gorillaz
Jenny Says - Cowboy Mouth
Hey 19 - Steely Dan

That's all I can think of.

OhmiGod. How did I forget Michael Jackson? Geez. And I'm duly impressed you suggested Lisa Marie Presley. Even though the first album debuted at #5, I seem to be the only person on the planet that bought it.

Saw her in concert, too. Puts on a great show, but she's really short.

Respect - Aretha Franklin
Click Click Boom - Saliva
Lights Out - Lisa Marie Presley
Hey Jude - Paul McCartney
Beat It, Thriller - Michael Jackson
These Boots are Made For Walking - Geri Halliwell
Staying Alive - Bee Gees

I just heard Pretty Fly For A White Guy played live by The Offspring. And ja, Funkytown is a great song.

These are all awesome suggestions, guys! I've used Highway To Hell, Shook Me All Night Long, Last Resort, Edge of Seventeen, Born To Be Wild, Tainted Love, Funkytown, and a whole lot of Aerosmith.

I also added A Little Respect by Erasure, Fight for Your Right to Party by the Beastie Boys, Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) by The Offspring, and We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister.

Any other suggestions? Any kind of music will work, including crazy one hit wonders and oldies, whatever.

"Just like the white winged dove...sings a song ..."

I love that song! I think its my favorite Stevie Nicks song.

I think my favorite old classic band though is the Allman Brothers. Theyre amazing...I got my middle name from their song "Melissa". =) It's wonderful...and I think I would marry James Taylor if he wasnt so old. haha.

-----"""Rock you like a Hurricane - Scorpions"""---

I love that one. And it's SteppEnwolf

Don't you just love the intro to Edge of Seventeen?

Wanderlust- REM
The Wanderlust- Flogging Molly
Somebody Told Me- The Killers (Yes, Ice, I copied. But it is a great song.)

More, but I can't think of them at the moment. Funny how two of the songs are called "Wanderlust". . .

but I would add anything by James Taylor and the Allman Brothers Band

as for todays music, I'd say anything from Anberlin (if yall know who they are..), Eisley, Mae, Jack Johnson, or Armor for Sleep.

Highway To Hell - AC/DC
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Dude Looks Like A LAdy - Aerosmith
Walk This Way - Aerosmith & Run DMC
Tempted - Squeeze
Good Vibrations - Marky Mark
Edge of Seventeen - Fleetwood Mac
Hot Stuff - Donna Summer
Oh What A Night - Four Seasons
Funky Town - Lipps Inc
You're So Vain - Carly Simon

iceland - you are awesome. haha. I love all those songs. but I'm a classic rock junkie...=)

Anything by Boston, but definately "More than a Feeling" or "Peace of Mind"

Iceland's right on, gotta go with classic rock:
Rock you like a Hurricane - Scorpions
Tainted Love - Soft Cell (so you can honk the horn)
Don't Stop Believing, Anyway you want it - Journey
Bad Company - Bad Company
Jukebox Hero, Hot Blooded - Foriegner

Too many others to name

steppinwolf - born to be wild


make sure you watch the movie "easy rider" before you go.

Classics are great for this kind of thing...

Highway To Hell - AC/DC
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Dude Looks Like A LAdy - Aerosmith
Walk This Way - Aerosmith & Run DMC
Tempted - Squeeze
Good Vibrations - Marky Mark
Edge of Seventeen - Fleetwood Mac
Hot Stuff - Donna Summer
Oh What A Night - Four Seasons
Funky Town - Lipps Inc
You're So Vain - Carly Simon


The newer songs are a toss up, depends on how narrow the tastes of the listeners are:

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
Last Resort - Papa Roach
Spice Up Your Life - Spice Girls
Tubthumping - Chumbawumba
The Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang
Breathless - The Corrs
Somebody Told Me - The Killers


But there is one song everybody should love and know parts of the lyrics to regardless of their major likes:

I Like Big Butts - Sir Mix Alot
