TWQ: Road Songs

TWQ (The Weekend Question) goes out on the road and asks:

What songs would you love to listen to while driving down a long, empty road?

Here are my answers:

'Born To Be Wild' (Steppenwolf)

'Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In' (The Fifth Dimension)

'Proud Mary' (Creedence Clearwater Revival)

'Hey Jude' (The Beatles)

'American Pie' (Don McLean)

'I Feel Free' (Cream)

'Spirit In The Sky' (Norman Greenbaum)

'Something In The Air' (Thunderclap Newman)

Now it's over to you...

I love that play list. A lot of my favorites there.

I am a HUGE Credence fan!

In your line of business, wouldn't, "I'm the Urban Spaceman, Baby" be on the list somewhere?

In my case I'll select the track I've been thinking about over the last few days called 'the mess we're in' by PJ Harvey.

Another good one in your genre would be 'take it easy', by the Eagles.

Here via Commander Michele's.

i love born to be wild, but can't remember for sure if that's the same one that's running thru my head. for some reason i was thinking it was "the eagles" or somebody like that. but hey, i've slept since yesterday so...

also like proud mary, desperato (eagles), best of my love (eagles maybe? or foreigner), and on the country and contemporay christian side...Jesus take the wheel, i can only imagine, all petra.

i'm just now learning to drive a straight shift car and i absolutely love to get in turn the music up and feel like i'm in my teens again. it's so funny cos for all these years i made fun of the people that did that (old but acting young hehe), but now that i'm here, it's like I JUST DON"T CARE! LOL

anyway, hope you're doing alright and thanks for all your encouraging comments on my blog. much appreciated!

blessings!

I can remember last summer driving through Montanna on our honeymoon and Dwight Yokam's "A thousand miles from nowhere was playing" it was just one of those times when you were in a moment.

Your post reminded me of that...I like mix cds for long drives with longs by Bob Dylan, White Stripes, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, John Coltrane, Nickleback...I love a good mix....and some jazz! Michele says hi!

carmilevy said...

One of our Submarines by Thomas Dolby. It's a haunting tune that never gets stale.

Ciera said...

I know about 2 of those songs for sure.

I'd like to listen to anything by Delirious?...especially
"deeper"
"this thing called love"
"everything"


Also - Audio Adrenaline
"Hands and Feet"
"Big House"

Newsboys
"Devotion"
"Heart's desire"

Alan Jackson
absolutely anything
"Little Bitty"
"Chattahoochie"
"Summertime blues"

Collin Ray
"I can still feel you" ??? I think that's the name. I could sing a line or two for you :)

the song about "If I could make a living out of loving you"

"Because the night" by 10,000 Maniacs





Who's in the seat next to you, Jean-Luc, on this long empty road?????? :)

no_average_girl said...

are there really long, empty roads on space? i guess i had thought it would be something more along the lines of being a ship, going through space without a single person aboard??? i guess i had a wrong perception of you century, captain ;-)

Jana said...

Anything by Rockapella.

And the oldies station.

Jardena said...

Hmm, depends on what I'm driving. If a truck, I definitely agree with "Little Bitty", "Up" by Shania Twain, and various Gary Allan songs.

Car... hmm, the only thing I can think of is 'Black Horse & the Cherry Tree" by K T Tunstall and "Let Go" by Frou Frou.

Now highway driving I have quite a list for :)

Jen said...

That's a pretty cool list!

Chrixean said...

Great driving music for me:

Aerosmith:
Just Feel Better
Pink
Don't Wanna Miss A Thing
Walk this Way
Cryin'

Nelly
Over and Over
My Place
Ride Wit' Me

U2 (All of their songs!)

Jean-Luc Picard said...

Any road journey will be great with those choices above. You have good taste!

There's some good songs there. One of my songs would have to be Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody! I'd have to have a think about the rest.

Here via Michele's. Take care and I hope you're having a good weekend.

One instantly came to mind... You've Got a Friend by James Taylor.

BarbaraFromCalifornia said...

Been there...

Not a song, but a piece of classical music:

Eric Satie's Gymnopedies, or Rachmaninoff's Vocalise.

kenju said...

I like your list (the ones I recognize). Mine would include anything by the Beatles or anything classical or jazz.

FRIDAY'S CHILD said...

Because of You and Rainbow

Oh wow..
Lets see..

Ozzy - Crazy Train

U2 - With or Without You

Tom Petty - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around

Korn and Jay-Z - Numb

Steve Nicks - Landslide

Snoop Dogg - Lodi Dodi

Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places

Tupac - I Ain't Mad at Cha

Just about anything by Keith Urban...something about him just calls up the image of a long, empty road.
