Favorite Road Trip Music - Babbs234 - 08-17-2012
I just returned from a short trip to Ohio and listened to some great music in the car. I listened to "Listen Up" 3 times (third time I did skip a few songs) and thought Haley's music stands up so well against any other music. Her voice is so strong and rich! Her inflections are so right on!!
I thought it would be fun to post some favorite traveling music. I do love my rockin 70's music.
Here are some of my favorites: Oldies but Goodies as they say...
This is the best 10 minute jam song from Grand Funk Railroad. 'I'm your Captain/Closer to Home"
This is a great Elton John song "Amoreena"
How about Eric Clapton "Layla"

For Me Road Trips aren't 'mix tape' types of trips.
I like to go the "Full Album" route. So many of the classic bands made coherent albums that were filled with musical texture that made each album it's own, singular entity.
The supergroups were 'super' because they created "Albums" not a bunch of singles grouped together
Pink Floyd Albums have a continuity that is good for long road trips....Although the warning is the songs can sometimes make your mind wander so special attention to not get hypnotized by the music and the road strips, I could go with "Dark Side of the Moon", "The Wall" or "Wish You Were Here"
But for driving?
Meddle is a lesser known PF album that that has some parts that are amazing on long drives on a sunny day... this song is a favorite from the album
One of these Days
The whole album
IMO Any Led Zeppelin Album will do but something about Led Zeppelin II
From the beginning beats of "Whole Lotta Love" to "What Is and What Should Never Be" to Bonham's "Moby Dick" .... this might be the pentultimate "Zeppelin Album"
"Thank You" is a little known gem of a song from this album...
Led Zep II (Whole Album)
Rush's "Moving Pictures" might be the 'ultimate' driving album, so many songs on this album are prime driving songs
From the first beat of "Tom Sawyer"
to the story telling in "Red Barchetta"
to the instrumental interlude where Rush show their musicality in "YYZ"
Moving Pictures
All Excellent to take on a long drive

^^ Nice! Y'all be traveling in style!
Ya might as well take George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan along, they already have the right name for the trip:
Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care

No your not. I grew up in the 60s got drafted than went through the 70s 80s 90s music. But my true love is classic rock and that is showing your age

But i find the youngins of today do go through a period of finding classic rock from 70s and 80s and love it.
I went to college in Arizona and saw many outdoor concerts in the west.
How about The Mamas and the Papas "California Dreamin"
