Taking a week long road trip here in a few days.

Looking for suggestions on tunes that need to go with me.

Driving from Ohio to Denver, north through wyoming, through dakotas, mighigan's UP, down through macinac, and back to Cincinnati. 

I was on a 7 day road trip in August. First song of the day, every day - Sister Christian by Night Ranger. Good stuff. 

Mmmmm bop. 

Hah, I'd only load hanson if I were planning a trip not to return. 

motorhead - ace of spades

mad max stylee 

I usually try to put on some ambient and otherwise low-key music, with some more uptempo music for when I'm getting tired.

Zero 7, Groove Amanda, and many other bands I can't remember right now.

I also spend hours making "mix tapes" with new and/or indie bands.
Problem with these is I like a song, but have no idea who sang it. 

The Transformers animated movie soundtrack.
Makes for surprisingly good driving music. 

some hardcore drum and bass 

beatles - 'two of us'
simon & garfunkel - 'america'
weezer - pinkerton & weezer (green)
pearl jam - ten & vs.
interpol - turn off the bright lights
wilco - being there
grateful dead - greatest hits
tom petty - wildflower & highway companion (duh)
brian wilson - smile
mighty mighty bosstones - question the answers
the breeders - last splash

make sure to tune into local npr stations & country stations along to way to get a feel for the places you're passin' through. 

I'd definitely suggest a lot of different playlists. Nothing's worse than a bunch of sad songs coming on when all you want is something loud and upbeat (and vice versa). 

Harry Potter books on tape/cd/ipod

we loaded up an ipod for a 6,000 mile trip with the books and it was actually pretty cool

You should've had me overdub all the "wand"s with "wang"s.

Sweet Home Alabama ftw. 

Bob Seger - Hollywood Nights, it's a good "Oh shit, I'm speeding" song 

roadtrippin' - red hot chili peppers 

Try, as much as possible, to listen to music from each area/city as you drive through.
I wanted to do that on my last road trip, but my route severely limited my choices.

Get Kirsten Dunst to make you a scrapbook and CDs for the trip. 

I usually just put my ipod on random, listen to an ibook, or rent a car with xm or sirius if it's for work. 

La Grange.

on repeat.

forever.

Try playing Carmageddon 2 all day, hopping into your vehicle and having some fast Iron Maiden come on... 

No... thanks. 

Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

Or Die Entführung aus dem Serail 

Ok seriously

Le Sacre Du Printemps.

I promise, it'll be fun. 

The Berzerker - Farewell

great driving song.
20 minutes long to boot.

Sounds like my old laptop. 

Dragonforce on repeat. 

Asunder - Works Will Come Undone
Boris - Absolutego
Buried At Sea - Migration
Corrupted - El Mundo Frio
Sleep - Dopesmoker

That ought to do it. 

Dead Kennedys - Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death 

Laurie Anderson - United States 1-4 

Born to be Wild 

Wicked and Weird - Buck 65. Supercool roadtrip music. 

That was Panama by Van Halen, before that was Panama by Van Halen, and we started it all off with Panama by Van Halen. Now with a message of Hit the road Jack, its Panama by Van Halen

srsly - Sweet Caroline 

Anything to sing along to.

William Elliot Whitmore
Josh Small and
Tim Barry would suit me fine right now. 

Radar Love by Golden Earring 

Wilco 

That was Panama by Van Halen

Mimi and Drew?

That's for the return trip 

Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in particular IMO 

The Raconteurs as well

And if you aren't one of those people who despise them, the complete white stripes discography can make for good driving music.

The Wallflowers, windows open, sun shining in your eyes, on a hot summer day. 

belle and sebastian on a rainy day. 

Neil Young

A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow... 

Radar Love by Golden Earring

2nded.

The Band. 

"What? You gotta pee? Hold on, we'll pull over as soon as these next two songs are over..."
/queue Alice's Restaraunt
/queue Freebird 

/queue Alice's Restaraunt

Arlo did another great storysong on One Night called 'The story of Reuben Clamso and his strange daughter in the key of A' that's not to be missed. You'll never look at forts the same way again. 

There's a restaurant back at home called "Alice's,"
And every time I drive by there, I inform whoever's in the car with me
That you can get anything you want there...except Alice. 

You are so gay
