Roadtrip

I leave Friday for Arkansas, which is a 14 hour drive from here. I am looking to make a playlist to get me through most of it, and I am looking for suggestions for playlist inclusion. All genres are welcome, but I make final decision on what is included. List a few songs and I'll figure out whether to include them or not.

I will list a few random songs off the top of my head:

'Pineapple Heart' by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones
'Pencil Thin Mustache' by Jimmy Buffet
'You Never Had It' by RJD2

EDIT: 'Two Princes' by Spin Doctors, because it is obligatory

best road trip song is I'm gonna be(500 miles) by the proclaimers

Well, Pencil Thin Mustache is already on there, I'm not a huge Flecktones fan, and the only song I have by RJD2 is Seasons Ft. CunninLynguists & Masta Ace. But I may have to change that. Thanks for the ideas though.

The Flecktones song I suggested is pretty trancey and is on my roadtrip mix which is why I suggested it. There is a better one on there but I can't remember what it is called.

The song by RJD2 I suggested is on his album The Third Hand which is very different than his previous efforts.

Alright, I'll keep those in mind. I searched for the flecktones song, but I couldn't find a stream anywhere and I don't torrent on this computer.

Nickel Creek, Wilco, Cake, and Bob Marley

Two steps ahead of you on the Cake and Marley.

Title and Registration- Death Cab for Cutie
Here I go (again)- Whitesnake
I've been up these steps- Gob

Honestly, I've never understood the concept of "roadtrip music". What I do on long trips is take a handful of "one-long song" albums; these seem to make the trip much shorter. I also tend to throw in albums with two or three songs that add up to be an hour or so. Some of the albums I bring include:

Boris - Flood, Feedbacker, Absolutego, and Sun Baked Snow Cave
Sleep - Dopesmoker
Corrupted - El mundo frio and Llenandose de gusanos
Naked City - Leng Tch'e
Monster Magnet - Tab

This should get you started.

Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild, Magic Carpet Ride

Garth Brooks

Rodeo, Friends in Low Places

i recommend the soundtrack to "across the universe"

rocked-up beatles songs, essentially

pretty road tripish

I was just thinking about this the other day, I think I'm gonna get it before I leave. I really like their versions of Let It Be, Hey Jude, Dear Prudence and a few others. I never saw the whole movie though.

Yo La Tengo. The Old Crow Medicine Show, Jefferson Airplane, The Beatles' Revolver, Patti Smith and Echo & The Bunnymen are all acceptable choices.

Kelly Clarkson, "Behind These Hazel Eyes"

A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton
