I used to love driving long distance. Especially overnight. Long tracks of interstate with the music cranked.

There were several songs that - put it this way - I had to keep the speedometer in check when they played on my radio. I imagine I wasn’t alone.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Great play list (including spiral's Angry Eyes)

Good for about 70 miles. Six songs. A good chunk of road.

Half way from Cleveland to Columbus.

But I'm going to California.

I think that Lou Reed is one of those great and influential artists that often gets overlooked or forgotten when ppl start talking about all the legendary artists over the past 50 years....

Definitely. One of my most listened to songs of my life.

That whole album actually. (Rock & Roll Animal)



Did you know Mott the Hoople also did a kickin' cover of Sweet Jane?

On the iconic All the Young Dudes.

Bob Seger - Against the Wind


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

There's an album by Blackfoot called "Blackfoot Strikes" that not only has the iconic "Highway Song", but also "Train, Train", and a couple kickass covers of two great rock standards; Free's "Wishing Well" and Spirit's "I Got A Line On You". The rest of the album rocks hard too.

Followed by this while still in the mountains. Just don't crash by accelerating too much in the turns when the music increases in intensity.

It was mine too. And In a good da Vida was my second.

How about "Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Creedence Clearwater Revival off of Cosmos Factory album?

Older fave of mine: Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels: Good Golly Miss Molly/ Devil with the Blue Dress medley. Just cooks. In a moment of honesty, I like these for mowing my lawn.
Last that comes to mind is George Thorogood and the Destroyers: "Bad to the Bone." PerfectSpiral, do we get to sing along?

Great topic!

That album is a classic! I got a chance to see them live in their heyday. Ricky Medlock and those Indians could put on a show.

I wore out a Mountain "Climbing" cassette back in the day. I loved "Mississippi Queen", but my favorites were "For Yasgur's Farm" and "Theme From An Imaginary Western". Others by Mountain: "Nantucket Sleighride" and "Flowers of Evils". Great band.

California Dreaming... Mamas and the Papas. Remember that song well driving to LA. I was going to LA to compete in the non-Life Masters National Bridge Tournament with my favorite partner. We won, this is back in the Dark Ages in 1992.

Here is another great song about taking a journey across the desert. However, I would suggest that you do not do Horse while driving long distances, or any distance at all--for that matter.
