I was just sitting here thinking about a 1500 mile drive I have to make, and contemplating burning a couple CDS for the drive. I found some music that would make it more interesting but not enough. So here is the question.

If you were going to drive from Phoenix to Indy, you were in a sports car, what music would you want to have on your cd?

"Road trips always make me want to listen to country."

Me, too ~ but then I partial to C/W anyway. I'd have to bring along

1). any and all Hoyt Axton CD's
2). any and all Don Williams CD's
3). some Merle Haggard
4). some older Willie Nelson releases
5). some Patsy Cline

Heart's Greatest Hits CD (the newest collection, not the one from 1980)

[massgopguy]

Highway Star

[Shaun_MD]

Pink Floyd my friend. I've worn out both my cd's of The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Lynyrd Skynyrd's "One More For From The Road"

[Conan the Librarian]

Just like in my Wedding.

Bach, Beethoven, Buffett and the Beatles.

The Brandenburg Concertos are a never miss.

I once checked out a Frank Sinatra Box Set from the Library for a 400 mile trip. It went fast!

The New Harry Potter Book on CD would also work.

Disney's Greatest Hits Volume 1 and 2. Has the hit songs from all of the Disney movies going back to Snow White.

***If you're driving across country, Aaron Copland's "Appalachian Spring" is without compare.***

LOL! I wanted to suggest that, but I was afraid some gangstas would come and get me. It is beyond beautiful. By far the best thing Copland ever did.

best music for a drive by what? killing?

[Tall_Texan]

I prefer peppy or soothing music, particularly when fighting traffic. Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass is excellent. Some Windham Hill jazz is great for lush scenic drives.

Probably wasn't what you were thinking, I know.

[KylaStarr]

LOL! SOrry about that.

I love that album!

oh rats.. showed my age... make that CD! yeah

"You nailed it. Radar Love is the best driving song ever."

No way, Highway Star!!

[Hardastarboard]

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, "Live Bullet"; The Call, "Greatest Hits"; Tears for Fears, "Greatest Hits"; The Police, "Zenyatta Mondatta"; anything by Stevie Ray Vaughan; The Allman Brothers Band, Live at "Fillmore East"; The Allman Brothers Band, "Greatest Hits"; The Doors "LA Woman"; Little Feat, "Waiting for Columbus".

That ought to get you started. Watch the "Live Bullet", though. I tend to speed pretty badly when that one's on. It's a real hard driving album ("Jody Girl" excepted - smack whoever included that one).

If you were going to drive from Phoenix to Indy, you were in a sports car, what music would you want to have on

Rush Limbaugh's bumper music.

[Auntbee]

I love Alice In Chains. Throw in some Metallica.

[Pyro7480]

BTTT

Another vote for "LA Woman".

Radar Love will now always be linked to the Simpson's episode of Bart driving his posse to the world's fair in TN and then to that MO town of country entertainers and watching Andy Williams sing Monnriver - but I digress.....

[brivette]

New Order: Yes!

[Mad Dawgg]

If you want to drive fast try: "Ghost Love Score" by Nightwish.

Thorogood, Old Aerosmith, The crue, Toby keith. Mixed bag.
