Driving Tunes

LOL I'm a young one, but I can name a few.  I'm a music major, so this may get a little freaky

Devil in Disguise by Elvis

Don't Phunk With My Heart by Black Eyed Peas

Here I Come by Fergie

Pour Some Sugar on Me is also one of my favorites....

Roll Me Away by Bob Segar

Pink Houses by John Mellencamp

Sabre and Spurs composed by John Philip Sousa

I can't think of any more right at the moment, but if I do, I will come back. 

When traveling to Florida years ago I picked up the Harley-Davidson Road Songs CD... Has quite a few good ones...

Hey Lucie -- Check this one out:

Oh, My Nola

Another option that I love when I need to make the time move a little faster is to get a book on CD  -- a good love story or murder mystery can make the time fly by!

Black Water by the Doobie Brothers

I like Magic Carpet Ride by Steppanwolf but my foot is heavy and that usually gets me in trouble with that song

Another idea for you.... get some books on tape or cd. We've done that on a lot of drives and it really helps pass the time. Its really fun if you get a book you like. Kind of hangs in suspense, you hurry through your rest stops to get back in the car so you can finish the book etc...

We usually check out the books on cd from the library. But since your moving you might have difficulty returning them. So - not sure if they have Cracker Barrel's where you are driving - but at Cracker Barrel you can buy a book on cd (for about $30), listen to it, and return it (at any other cracker barrel location) and get all your money back except ($3 or $4). Its kind of a rental, except they cover themselves if you don't return it. Great thing if you have a Cracker Barrel near your starting point you pick one up and then drop it off at the ending point.

Otherwise maybe look at downloading some books or just going the traditional way and buying or borrowing.

Hope you have a good road trip!

My grandson and I love Bruce Springsteen's version of "Viva Las Vegas!" so we always have Bruce in the car.  And I've never even been to Vegas unless I'm passing thru to somewhere else.  My 9 year old grandson always promises he will take me there some day ;-)

And I always have some Van Morrison in the van along with U2, Sting and Ottmar Liebert wherever I go...

Someone else mentioned John Mellencamp, also good driving music.  Nice to have a variety with you depending upon the landscape and time of day...

Lucy, I have thoroughly enjoyed your adventure in the selling and buying process and now moving. Genius and I thank you for it...we get the experience without the headache and heavy moving...love it!

Now for my song of choice...how about Cruising on a Sunday afternoon by Smokey Robinson and then a little ditty "You better be good to me" by Tina Turner. 

Classic Rock by far!!! Some of my faves are...

• Aerosmith
• Journey

 Hi Lucie, a 17 hour drive? Wow! When I used to drive to Vermont from Montreal for weekend camping trips, I'd take along stuff like any of the classic albums by Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin. Aside from being great music, the time just flew by. Later...

My husband bought a motorcycle last year. On the first few road trips I had to listen to him singing to Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson etc as he had an Ipod and I didn't! Now I have my own and the time goes by a lot faster - I like to have it on random and I jump around between Josh Groban, Michael Buble, The Carpenters and the Gypsy Kings to name but a few.
