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...

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

    I am a HUGE Credence fan!

  2. 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.

  6. 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!

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

    Also - Audio Adrenaline
    "Hands and Feet"

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

  12. 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 ;-)

  13. Anything by Rockapella.

    And the oldies station.

    ReplyDelete
  14. 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 :)

  15. That's a pretty cool list!

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

    Nelly
    Over and Over
    My Place

    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.

    Not a song, but a piece of classical music:

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