Alright, alright, listen up. You’re tellin’ me you’re goin’ on a road trip? Well, good for you! But you ain’t goin’ nowhere without some good tunes, ain’t that right? Now, I ain’t no fancy DJ or somethin’, but I know what gets your toes tappin’ and makes them miles fly by.
First off, you gotta have somethin’ everyone can sing along to. That Fleetwood Mac, Rumours album, that’s a good one. Everyone knows them songs, even if they say they don’t. “Go Your Own Way,” “Dreams,” they’re catchy. Perfect for when you’re starin’ out the window watchin’ the world go by.
- Fleetwood Mac – Rumours
Then, you need somethin’ with a bit of pep, somethin’ to wake you up when you’re feelin’ sleepy. That Bob Dylan fella, he’s got that Highway 61 Revisited. Good for gettin’ you movin’, you know? Might not understand all the words, but the music gets ya goin’. Makes you wanna step on the gas, even if you’re just stuck in traffic.
- Bob Dylan – Highway 61 Revisited
Now, don’t go thinkin’ it’s all gotta be old stuff. Them Beatles, they made somethin’ called Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Heard it on the radio once. Strange sounds, but it’s fun. Makes you think about things, ya know? Like why the sky is blue and why them cows are always lookin’ at ya funny.

And if you’re feelin’ a bit wild, gotta have some rock n’ roll. Somethin’ loud. Them fellas, Foo Fighters, they make a racket. Or that Nirvana, the fella with the yellin’. Good for gettin’ out all that road rage. Just don’t go drivin’ like a maniac, hear?
- Foo Fighters (some tracks)
- Nirvana (some tracks)
You gotta have some happy music too. Somethin’ that makes you smile. That Whitney Houston, she can sing. Put her on, and everyone’s singin’ along, even the grumpy ones. And that Lorde girl, she’s got a good voice too. Modern stuff, but it’s nice.

- Lorde (some songs)
Now, don’t forget to make your own playlist! Put on whatever you like. That Spotify thing, my grandkids use it. They say it’s got all sorts of music. Road trip playlists and such. Just don’t spend all day fiddlin’ with your phone, watch the road!
And wear comfy clothes! No need to dress up all fancy. Loose shirts, leggings, whatever makes you feel good. You’re gonna be sittin’ for a long time, might as well be comfortable.
So, there ya have it. Some ideas for your road trip music. Remember, it’s all about havin’ fun and makin’ memories. Don’t stress too much about the music. Just put on somethin’ you enjoy and hit the road. Safe travels now, ya hear?
