The TW - Epic Road Trip Playlist

Hi all,

As some of you know I am moving to Anchorage in January. So to get there, the dog, Taco and I will be driving from Atlanta for a grand total of just over 4500 miles. A long trip like that needs good tunes on the radio so here is my proposal for a little game...

Rules.

- Submit up to three songs that you think are required on an epic road trip.
- I will collect all the songs suggested through December 5th and create the playlist.
- When I start my trip, I will play this playlist in it's entirety until the list is complete or I get to Anchorage.

Even though I am only going to take ideas until December 5th, keep this thread alive so others may also discover new music!

With that said...

 

I can't drive 55
Radar love
Turn the page

 

Great start! I have to admit though, as a "radar troop" in the Air Force Radar Love is kind of our official song.

 

Only 3 songs?...
Metallica master of puppets
Stone sour gone sovereign/ absolute zero
Lynyrd skynyrd sweet home Alabama

 

Good idea. I'll hold off on the recommendations but what I did 2 weeks ago when I was on a 2600 mile road trip was put my Ipod on shuffle (2000 plus songs) and never let myself press the skip button once!

..Okay nevermind. Here are my 3 songs:

Dave Matthews band - Big eyed fish
Awolnation - Sail
John Denver - Take me home, country roads

Thats a nice variety for ya! I have no clue what type of music you listen too but enjoy and drive safe!

 

If you have more than 3 suggestions send them out. I thought more people would jump on this game and I didn't want to have to spend a few days making the playlist.

Someone's gotta be that guy huh? Rules is rules, and the rules says that they go in the playlist. Haha.

I was basically going to put my iPod on shuffle too, but I decided to see what TW would come up with as a playlist. And you have made 3 excellent choices. I listen to a bit of everything, but DMB and John Denver are always towards the top.

 

Sweet emotion
Free bird
Thunderstruck

 

Road trippin red hot chilli peppers
You shook me all night ac/dc
Highway to hell ac/dc aswell



I like ac/dc while driving

 

There is always the one asshole.

 

KingmissileDCLBFTMFWMF.

 

Free Bird- Lynyrd Skynyrd
Under Pressure-Logic
Lookin' Out My Back Door- CCR
Bad Moon Rising- CCR

Couldn't narrow it down to one CCR song

 

Hotel California, The Eagles
Also Sprach Zarathustra, from 2001 movie
Take 5, from Time Out, Dave Brubeck

 

Lamb of god-omerta
Dropkick Murphy's-barroom heros
Nofx-the decline

 

Driving All Night - Jake Owen
Born to Run - Springsteen
Space Lord - Monster Magnet

Some of my favorite road trip songs ^. You should be driving right through good ol' Fort Nelson and given a Tacoma's fuel range you'll have to stop for gas! If it happens to be at a meal time, eat food and talk about how great Tacomas are with me?

 

Fun idea, I'll add some obscurity for you:

Cuidado by Airliner
Sexy Girl by Palace Of Buddies
and for shits and giggles and maybe a nightmare
Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus

 

cemetery gates- pantera
jars- chevelle
bring me to life- evanescence

 

I'd say you're a hipster, but you've probably never heard of that...
