What Is The Best Song to ______________ ?

[Kevin]

here we'll find out personal opinions on what the best song is in each situation. starting question: what is the best song to start a long road trip in the car?

"Moneytalks" - AC/DC. Outside of the "Back in Black" album, perhaps their finest post-Bon Scott moment.

Welcome To The Jungle - GNR

A great one as well.

[Michael]

To start a road trip:
"Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf, or
"Highway Star" by Deep Purple, or
"Driving Wheel" by Foghat, or

I like to start a road trip with Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf.

Finally, a little love for Foghat. Great song!

[Kevin]

oh i could do Slow Ride just for the slide guitar on the trip

[Janice]

What a timely thread! I'm headed out tomorrow morning on a 9 hour drive.

[janine]

In my family something by Belle & Sebastian or Simon & Garfunkel works best.

[Sarah]

Born to Run.

[Carol]

Of course, it's Radar Love by Golden Earring.

[Stina]

I have always started my road trips with a little Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. It started by accident in college, but now it's required.

One of the best live bands after J. Geils and Grand Funk.

[Jammies]

"Ragtop Day" by Jimmy Buffett

[Michael]

^ Good one!

[Phil]

Michael had it right with "Born to be Wild."

[Koeeoaddi]

Memphis in the Meantime, John Hiatt
Texas, Chris Rea
Marie Marie, the Blasters
Heads, Carolina Tails, California, Jo Dee Messina (so, sue me)

[Sarah]

Ko, I love that Jo Dee Messina song. I don't have many country music guilty pleasures, but that is one of them.

[Koeeoaddi]

Yes!

[Lila]

Janie Jones - The Clash. It just has so much energy.

[Helena]

I enjoy listening to CCR on long road trips. I’d probably start with "Sweet Hitchhiker"

[Kevin]

ok, new one starting now.

What is the best song to: sing along with a group of people to.

(yeah, that prob is not correct english. sorry that i'm not sorry)

[Phil]

YMCA

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I can tell you the worst song to sing along w/people to: Don't Stop, Fleetwood Mac.

[Helena]

I have to listen to that at every family gathering, LG. My sister in law is a huge Fleetwood Mac fan, and she likes to sing.


‘Don’t Stop Believing’ by Journey. I can’t not sing that song if I hear it.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Come closer, KD, hold hands with me. All in a circle now.

[Stina]

American Pie... I love belting that one out with people!

[Riona]

Bohemian Rhapsody! Gotta be the longest song that everybody and their mom knows all the lyrics to.

[Angela~twistedmind~]

I'm a southern girl and I'm just going to go with a couple that we actually do sing together as a group:

Beer Is Good:Psychostick
Keep Your Hands To Yourself
Sweet Home Alabama

Oksy, so that's a few, not a couple.

That one always works.

[~Geektastic~]

For some reason, everyone in my house always sings along to Weezer's "Buddy Holly." Something about the chorus makes it infectious.

That makes me think of Will the Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

[Kevin]

everyone sings along with EW&F's September but hardly no one really knows the words

my choice is paradise by the dashboard lights

"I Fought the Law" - The Clash

[Jammies]

I'm not even telling you what songs my whole family will sing along to, because it's too damn embarrassing.

[Cynthia]

"Goodbye Earl," Dixie Chicks.

[Jim]

You know you are on a bus with a lot of drunks, when you are on a one hour bus trip back from a high school football game and they break out into Kumbaya.

[~Geektastic~]

Cynthia wrote: ""Goodbye Earl," Dixie Chicks."

That's a fun one.

[Cynthia]

I also like "Mercedes Benz" by Janis Joplin or any number of union songs: "Union Maid," "Solidarity Forever" or anything by Woody Guthrie.

[Phil]
