    Default Road Trip Songs

    I came across this short article on my local news site.

    Many of you will be hitting the road for the Christmas holiday. What will you be listening to?
    A new poll by the folks at Pioneer Electronics USA asked 3,000 people to name their favorite "road trip song."

    1. Willie Nelson - "On the Road Again"
    2. Steppenwolf - "Born to be Wild"
    3. The Eagles - "Take It Easy"
    4. The Beach Boys - "I Get Around"
    5. AC/DC - "Highway to Hell"
    6. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - "Free Falling"
    7. The Doors - "Riders on the Storm"
    8. KISS - "Rock and Roll All Night"
    9. Bon Jovi - "Wanted Dead or Alive"
    10. Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Free Bird"
    What would your top three look like? For me:

    1. Stone Temple Pilots- "Interstate Love Song"
    2. The Smashing Pumpkins- "1979"
    3. Metallica's cover of "Turn the Page"
    A simple, elegant design is good engineering.

    It's a pity you gotta list songs, because I have albums in mind that are perfect from start to finish.

    My top three albums (for a very long trip) are:

    Everything And Nothing - David Sylvian (double album compilation)
    Grace Under Pressure - Rush
    Theme From Midnight Express Giorgio Moroder

    One example from each:

    God's Monkey....Sylvian/Fripp

    Red Sector A.....Rush
    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrwNlbqol_8"]YouTube - Red Sector A - Rush - (HQ) Official Music Video[/ame]

    The Chase (Midnight Express)....Giorgio Moroder
    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE2A59zjuNk"]YouTube - Giorgio Moroder - Chase (Full Length Version)[/ame]
