With a record 40 million people estimated to travel this holiday weekend, I started to think about long summer drives in the car. If you were to burn your personal 'ultimate road trip cd', which 10-15 songs would it include?
Dead Man's Curve 409 Little Deuce Coupe Little Old Lady From Pasadena Mustang Sally Hot Rod Lincoln Maybellene Black Denim Trousers Hey Little Cobra Shut Down
I'm Too Sexy (for My Shirt) - Right Said Fred Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? - Rod Stewart I Want You to Want Me - Cheap Trick I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore - REO Speedwagon Feels Like the First Time - Foreigner Careless Whisper - Wham Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? - Culture Club Like A Virgin - Madonna Send Me an Angel - Real Life Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These) - Eurythmics
We load up on Books On Tape from the library before a road trip. But if it were music, then any tracks from The Weavers at Carnegie Hall Paul Robeson, Ballad for Americans HMS Pinafore, D'Oyley Carte Louie's Love Songs, Lou Carter
Route 66 -- Nat King Cole Trio Highway 61-- Bob Dylan Maybelline -- Chuck Berry Can't Catch Me -- Chuck Berry Come Together -- Beatles Truckin -- Grateful Dead Travelin Blues -- Slim Gaillard Crossroads -- Robert Johnson Lost Highway -- Hank Williams One Way Street -- Ann Peebles Dark End of the Street -- Aretha Franklin/James Carr Get Back -- Beatles On the Road Again -- Willie Nelson New Lee Highway Blues -- David Bromberg Promised Land -- Chuck Berry

Here's my list...heavy on blues, but with some other fun driving songs thrown in, too. Mustang Sally - Buddy Guy Bach's 5th Brandenburg Concerto Still the One - Orleans The Thrill is Gone - BB King Just about anything done by Charlie Musselwhite (blues harmonica) Working for the Weekend - Loverboy Old Lynrd Skynyrd stuff Most Stevie Ray Vaughan stuff I Love Rock'n'Roll - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Anything Gershwin, but especially Summertime or just about anything from Porgy and Bess Love Grows Where my Rosemary Goes - Edison Lighthouse Forever in Love - Kenny G Could You be Loved - Bob Marley Standing Outside the Fire - Garth Brooks
Road Trip CD Marylars, I can't really answer your question since I have many "favorite 15-20 song CDs" that I have burned. I get music off I-tunes and from my CDs and I have even burned most of my 70's vinyl records to CDs. I have some pretty neat equipment for this. My favorites include sad country songs, other country songs, and 70's rock n roll. Probably my all time favorite is "Last one to Know" by Reba McEntire. Just last week, I bought myself a new stereo for my car so that I could directly plug in my Creative Zen (like an iPod only better with 40GB hard drive!) But the beauty of my new car stereo is that even without the iPod, I can burn mp3s and wma files directly to a CD and they play like regular CDs. I just burned a CD with 172 songs on it (I think it is a total of about 15 CDs). This will be my ultimate road trip CD for a while.
Commodores - Brickhouse Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music White Boy. Earth Wind and Fire - Serpentine Fire Stevie Wonder - Superstition KC and the Sunshine Band - That's the Way I Like It. Otis Redding - Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. Norah Jones - Turn Me On Norah Jones - Painter Song Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama. Eagles - Hotel California Boston - Rock n Roll Band Boston - More than a Feeling Santana - Oye Como Va Santana - Maria Maria Gun's N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle Van Halen - Jump Van Halen - I'll Wait Van Halen - Right Now 3 Doors Down - Here Without You. 3 Doors Down - Kryptonite Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart I busted my budget a little but this is about as far as I would want to narrow it down for one CD. This would give me a little old school funk, good rock, and a few easy listening songs. I have all of these plus many more in my MP3 player, along with some new school music with great beats and lyrics that I can't understand
Boy, that would be a tough one. I can give you my top 5 bands. 1. Dokken 2. Stryper 3. Journey 4. Cinderella 5. Megadeth I am sure I will catch flack on this, but hey. My favorite songs are 1. Bridge Over Troubled Waters 2. Weekend In New England 3. Born on a Bayou 4. More Than A Feeling 5. Dont Stop Believin'
