Roadtrip Music
Ok I'm going on a loooooonng plane ride tomorrow (my day will start at 4am and end at an hour much later than midnight if I know Melissa well...) and then I'm going to be in the car for about 6 hours + on Friday.
Lets get some roadtrip music suggestions from my readers. There are lots of you out there reading this, so leave a comment and lets see what you've got.

A couple of questions need answering to really answer this. Are you looking for whole albums to put in and let them play through, or a collection of songs to mix together? For the purposes of this post, I'm assuming the mix variety (although I'd be happy to suggest albums as well)
Also, what is your definition of "road-trip music"? Something high-energy (which may eventually burn you out, especially on such a long trip), something more even-keeled, or some mix of the two? Something that you have to turn up and sing along with, or something that can sit in the background and not try to steal the spotlight while you're chatting with friends?
By the way, I'm Sherry (formerly McFarland)'s husband.
In any case, here are a couple of songs to consider.
Format is "Artist - Album - Song".
Kenny Wayne Shepherd - 10 Days Out - The Thrill Is Gone (w/ B.B. King)
Led Zeppelin - II - Living Loving Maid
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking - Jane Says
The Pixies - Death To The Pixies - Here Comes Your Man
Pearl Jam - Vitalogy - Better Man
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits - Last Dance With Mary Jane
Otis Redding - Greatest Hits - Hard To Handle
Paul Oakenfold - Bunkka - Starry Eyed Surprise
INXS - Welcome To Wherever You Are - Beautiful Girl
The Rolling Stones - Forty Licks - Don't Stop
Cake - Comfort Eagle - Short Skirt, Long Jacket
Lenny Kravitz - Greatest Hits - Always On The Run
Green Day - American Idiot - Holiday
Deep Purple - When We Rock We Rock - Hush
R.L. Burnside - Come On In - Let My Baby Ride
Johnny Cash - Unchained - I've Been Everywhere
Van Morrison - Moondance - Into The Mystic
Hootie & the Blowfish - Looking For Lucky - Get Out Of My Mind
Radiohead - The Bends - High and Dry
John Prine - Fair and Square - She Is My Everything
That's probably a lot more than you wanted, but hey, I get a kick out of this kind of thing. I'm just barely getting started, actually. Just ask Sherry; I'm sure I drive her nuts. In any case, I'll finish up with a few (I'll limit to four) album suggestions:
John Prine - Fair and Square
Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale (standup comedy -- amazingly funny and the time will fly)
Kenny Wayne Shepherd - 10 Days Out
Hootie & The Blowfish - Looking For Lucky
Rick, I'm glad you clarified who you are somewhere in the post. I have a few Ricks in my life and I was thoroughly confused at first. :)
Thanks for the great suggestions!! I highly doubt that my new travel companion will want to listen to the local country stations as much as I will. Rock is way more neutral and I can't wait to hear most of this stuff. I'll let you know how it goes.
I downloaded a bunch of these songs just so you know...I'll keep you updated. THANK YOU!
ok Steph, here's some suggestions:
Anything by The Format
(I can't ever go on a roadtrip without listening to The Format and Jimmy Eat World)
Cat Stevens - Miles from Nowhere
(seeing as how that picture of where you're going looks like it's miles from nowhere.)
The Shins - Young Pilgrims
Guster - Center of Attention, Amsterdam, and Either Way
Incubus - Dig
OK Go - A Million Ways
and if you've never heard of Veda, you might want to check them out. Anything from the album called "The Weight of an Empty Room" is great.
