[artsandletters]

Little Deuce Coupe, Help Me Rhonda and so on.

 

[kgilbert78]

And yes, I've listened to this on the autobahn in Germany while driving rather fast.

 

[bkmtnittany1]

Supertramp's Breakfast in America album...

 

[kgilbert78]

Beach Boys - all of their upbeat songs.

Little Deuce Coupe, Help Me Rhonda and so on.

One of the most interesting and appropriate coincidences of my live came in SoCal many years ago. Mrs KG and I were driving in my buddy's SUV with a sun roof (down of course). The very second I turned left onto the Pacific Coat Highway, "I get around" came on the radio.... Perfect moment--perfect timing.

 

[83wuzme]

ZZ Top, especially Sharp Dressed Man.

 

[AvgUser]

The Who... Quadrophenia
The opening where "I am the Sea" transitions to "The Real Me". On the CD version, the explosive baseline of The Ox and Moon's drumming makes me want to open up the throttle.

Also, the Talking Heads "Life During Wartime" from the live album Stop Making Sense

 

[bxle]

Deep Purple - Highway Star.

 

[sw-lion]

Everybody wants to rule the world - Tears for Fears

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Holiday Road....

 

[Gitzit]

AC/DC Highway to hell

 

[Obliviax]

Riders on the Storm, by the Doors

Hot Rod Lincoln by Commander Cody

In the Air Tonight, by Phil Collins (to me, have to have the top down though)

Highway Star, by Deep Purple

I had this convo with a friend once and he insisted Night Ranger's Sister Christian, I don't get it but there it is.

But I agree, Radar Love is the best.

 

[bwifan]

Jackson Brown ... Running on Empty

 

[fairgambit]

Beach Boys - all of their upbeat songs.

Little Deuce Coupe, Help Me Rhonda and so on.

Agree. I have a couple of Beach Boys car albums that I listen to regularly. Shut Down, 409, Fun Fun Fun, Little Deuce Coupe, are all terrific. Add in the slower, and often forgotten gem, Spirit of America, and I can drive happily for hours.

Well, if it's a Sat morning in Aug Sept Oct or Nov, I throw in a Blue Band tape and hit the volume!

A "tape" Illi? Reel to reel in the Cadillac?

Foo Fighters - Everlong
Joy Division - Walk in Line

A "tape" Illi? Reel to reel in the Cadillac?

It's early here this morning, nothing is real yet today.

It's a round disc, comes out of a square box, disappears into an opening in the dash of my 2011 Honda CR-V. Not sure how it actually works, but I know one thing: a week from today is the first Sat in Aug and the Fonziemobile will be pumping out BLUE AND WHITE!

 

[CF LION]

My go-to for road trips hasn't changed from the 8-track, cassette, CD and digital eras .....

The Takin' it to the Streets album by The Doobie Brothers.

From the title track to 8th Avenue Shuffle to It Keeps You Runnin'to Turn It Loose ---- great Road songs.

Then, when you are cruising home late at night, thinking about the day or your girl, or maybe she's asleep next to you and the track "For Someone Special" starts to play, well it will "Carry Me Away".

 

[Nitwit]

Life in the Fast Lane - the Eagles

 

[FHSPSU67]

Hitching a Ride - Vanity Fair

 

[CF LION]

The whole album:

...and the second album:

w/ JLA's tummy.

Love that movie. If it had been set in Pennsylvania instead of Texas it would have captured my high school years nearly perfectly.
