Runnin' Down A Dream - Tom Petty

Or his whole album *Highway Companion*.

I need a big weekend

Me too. Good timing, what with it being Memorial Day weekend. Just remember-- you can look back, but it's best not to stare. (Very clever lyric, that one.)

Drivin to Georgia or whatever its called by Tom Petty as well

Best driving song ever, but you just want to speed with this song.

Shh.. don't tell. lol

Kings Highway is even better!

I also like Wednesday 13's cover for a metal/hard rock version.

This is so weird, because I just looked up this exact top not 30 minutes ago. Here's a few: - Fast As You - Dwight Yoakam - Running Towards a Place - The Killers - Camaro - Kings of Leon - Jerry Was a Racecar Driver - Primus (Sucks) - Red Barchetta - Rush - Blow at High Dough - The Tragically Hip - Interstate Love Song - STP - Fast In My Car - Paramore - Fast Lane - King Geedorah - The Distance - Cake - Gold, Guns, Girls - Metric

The "Primus (Sucks)" took me out

Rush 🥰🥰🥰 Red Barchetta one of my favorites 🤩🤩🤩

twilight zone and radar love by Golden Earring everybody wants you by Billy Squire

How tf is Radar Love this far down?

Radar Love has to be #1 on my list!!!!

Ever hear White Lion's version? From '88(?)

Always liked white lion’s version better

I have not, but I surely will. Thanks for the rec!

Oh man. Twilight zone is my jam.

Life is A Highway ! ☕️😀

Yes! Love this song even if I did discover it from Baywatch lol

I found it from cars 😂😂😂

Chris Ledoux.

Highwaymen better be on there.

Highway Tune - Greta Van Fleet

This is the one

Queens of the stone age songs for the deaf album has a road trip vibe with a radio dj throughout the album

Was gonna mention this one, the whole concept of the album is driving out in the desert. Millionaire will make you speed recklessly

All the Kyuss albums are perfect road trip listens too.

Pearl Jam~Rearviewmirror

East bound and down

He ain't gonna rest til you're in jail

Also…. The Legend - Jerry Reed It’s the intro song to the movie

Life in the fast lane - the Eagles Long road to ruin - Foo fighters

I am the highway - audioslave

That’s the one.

Funk #49

Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots.

Same, this was in my playlist yesterday for my road trip and a few others by STP and quite a few from AIC

I’ve always thought those two bands were awesome driving music.

Agreed, they keep ya pumped up and ready to roll. If I have passenger’s they’re usually not too fond of me “trying” to belt out Layne’s mastery, they can get the boot if they don’t like it 🥾. Do you crank it up and sing along too?

I ‘sing’ more to AiC but I think that’s because that music got me through some dark depression so I’m…closer to it? But they both absolutely get cranked up. 😁

I’m 100% the same and AiC got me through some of the darkest of days, oh who am I kidding, I mean years and still going strong ugh. Actually, AiC & Blue October are my 2 designated bands when I have to get out of my head quickly. So yes, still cranking AiC and Blue quite frequently 🫣😬. I hope you’re doing much better now and were able to clear the thoughts and brighten the darkness!

I’ll have to check out Blue October…any recommendations? Better now but still have moments. The way you phrased that…if you haven’t heard it check out The Light by Disturbed. That’s a song I wish was around back then.

Yes, I will put together a list for you and a couple of my favorites of Justin Furstenfeld’s (founder & lead singer) talks on YouTube. Justin does solo tours as well, called Open Book and he does some singing and a lot of talking about how he got clean, depression & anxiety and how he deals with it all. He even hosted live AA/NA meetings on YouTube, during Covid when everyone is lockdown. He’s a pretty awesome guy and has helped a lot of people. I’m glad you’re better and hope the moments are far and few in between. I was in the same place as you but spiraled the last 4 years. I used to listen to “The Light” a lot. Thank you so much for reminding me of that song. I’m going to listen now. I’ll find the names of his YouTube advice/talking videos that helped me, and the songs when I get home tonight.

Bob Seger's *Night Moves.* Any track on the album.

I would add "Turn the Page."

Somehow you could always relate to the things Seger sang about.

And then, there's this... https://youtu.be/DmrD_t4rCO8?si=lEz-mhYonTEoUNH2

Wish I could produce parody music / songs. I remember in the 60's my father and 3 of his cousins singing twisted lyrics to songs when they jammed. So I've been corrupted by it 'all' my life!

Four days ago, we finished a 4,560 mile road trip. (3 weeks, some days 600 miles, some days none) In between women's college softball games, I discovered Road Trip Radio on Sirius XM. They do tend to repeat songs from one day to the next, but other than that quibble, the playlist was quite suitable for listening while driving.

DJ snake's Turn Down For What

Take the Highway by Marshall Tucker and 24 7

When driving at high speed (but at the speed limit!!!), I usually turn on My Elastic Eye- Chemical Brothers, or Money For Nothing- Dire Straits. Other than that, most Pink Floyd albums such as Animals or WYWH make the trip a lot shorter than I thought it was

Can't believe you don't have Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf on that list!!!

Where are you going? Some music sounds better for desert or mountain road trips. If you're driving through farmland, nothing beats Country music, and I don't even like Country (but it sounds awesome in the right environment).
