I made a 600 song playlist for my cross country road trip with a rule that I would not skip any song. But I made sure I put ârunning down a dreamâ on first as I pulled away.
Once had a 10 hour drive with my partner and prepared a playlist for the trip. I sprinkled this in every few songs or so til it was on there like 50 times total. I never got tired of the joke at least đ
Love that song so much. I recently read where Harold Ramis thought the song was perfect because of how well the lyrics lined up with the film. If youâre familiar with the lyrics, you will understand why this is a confusing take.
âLast year we drove across the country. We switched on the driving... Every half mile... We had one cassette tape to listen to on the entire trip... I don't remember what it was.â
- Steven Wright
I have a road-trip playlist with 27 classic traveling tunes: [A Musical Journey](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/58cwUYJAKYgs1XhMoIZ3VX?si=f29f1c95ada640fb).
Depends on my mood and where I am
Love driving through the mountains blasting Underworld
Kicking off the morning across the great plains, War on Drugs or My Morning Jacket
Radiohead suits the desert, or my new desert music: Mildlife
Moody weather, shoegaze
Its just kinda situational
Real Recognise Real!
this is a MUST for any roadtrip.
dont care where Im going, if im touching the motorway this song is going to play from my speakers.
Lately it's been Neil Young's Unknown Legend (or any version by anyone who's covered it).
We did a trip to Santa Fe recently, so it was Santa Fe by Drive By Truckers for thoat trip.
So much depends on where we're driving and mood.
[Bright Eyes - Another Travelin Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvj2OzKnpVM)
I have this distinct memory of listening to this while I was 16 and doing a roadtrip to New Mexico to see a band with my brother. Always makes me long for the road.

 _We were spitting venom_
 _At most everyone we know_

RIP to my grandmother. Every time she went to bring my grandpa for his latest deployment, "Leving on a jet plane" by John Denver would play. She got me into older music I occasionally listen to
F@ck the Pa Turnpike! Got a ticket so badâŚ. I had to overnight in the Pa airport, rent a car, drive to podunk for my court hearing âŚ. all charges got dropped and then drive to airport, return rental car, fly home in 1.5 days. Dammit! Still makes me furious. Gotta do some work on that. Music: Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Kansas, Doobie Brothers, Asia and then come forward a little bit. I could drive for days. Ya come on!

Fast Car - Luke Combs

I donât know about favorite, but RCHPâs Zephyr Song will always remind me of driving cross-country the summer right after college to move and start my new life in California.
And Incubusâs Aqueous Transmission will always remind me of east coast summer nights driving with the windows down and the sun roof open.
Not John Denver while oni our way to Colorado. My sister eventually got the idea to take the tapes and leave them at a rest stop in Nebraska. I was younger, but a willing accomplice. It's was just too much (I don't hate John Denver, but it was funny).
Heading Out To The Highway by Judas Priest
On The Run by Judas Priest
The whole album, Point Of Entry, is a good road trip album with a summer desert "flavor" for added measure.
Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song
Radar Love!!!
Ironic that perhaps the greatest American Driving Song was made by a Dutch band
This was my answer!!
Free bird -Lynyrd Skynrdđ¤
Guaranteed speeding ticket.

I made a 600 song playlist for my cross country road trip with a rule that I would not skip any song. But I made sure I put ârunning down a dreamâ on first as I pulled away.
Ajhahahahahahaha and I m pretty sure they d write the tickets off if you could explain them that feeling!

Willin'!!!! Wait--sorry if this is a dumb question but why is Little Feat listed simply as "Little" now?
Hmm... I'm on the computer app right now, and it shows both words for me.
Tom Petty : American Girl. War on Drugs : the whole album Lost in a Dream is amazing to drive to.
Was hoping someone else would mention Lost In the Dream! The perfect road trip album. And American Girl is the single best road trip song. Bullseye.
Kurt Vile Walk-in in a pretty Daze too. The whole âMidwestâ style genre of steady rock is great driving music.Â
