  1. I’d toss in 2 more:

    Rolling Stones – Start Me Up
    REM – What’s the Frequency Kenneth

    1. Hi Denis…thanks for stopping by. Yeah, those are two great tunes. I think I will create a “user” suggested post of songs and add yours there. Thanks again. Cheers.

  2. Great list! I must add 2: Truckin& Goin Down the Road Feelin Bad by the Grateful Dead though. Both upbeat to help you stay awake, good for singing along to, and obviously related to road tripping!

  3. Nice list Mike…I would also like to sing and drive along to Diary Beneath the Tree by Bread, but I’m really showing my age here!!!

  4. On the Who, might have gone with Magic Bus for theme purposes. Got to have (Get Your Kicks) Route 66 on the list (any number of versions). And La Grange from ZZ Top would make my road trip list

  5. Simple Minds – Don’t you forget about me
    Tears for Fears – Shout
    INXS – The one thing
    David Bowie – China Girl
    REM – Driver 8
    Peter Schilling – Major Tom

    1. Oh my gosh, those are some great suggestions…love all of those artists and songs. You have good taste Dana! Thanks for chiming in. 😉
