Hit the Open Road with These Timeless Tunes
When it comes to road trips, the right playlist can make all the difference. Whether you’re embarking on a cross-country adventure or just cruising down the highway, music has the power to elevate the experience and create lasting memories.
Classic Road Trip Anthems
Get ready to roll with some of the most iconic road trip songs of all time. “I’ve Been Everywhere” by Johnny Cash is a must-have on any road trip playlist, followed closely by Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama”. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” is another classic that’s sure to get you moving.
Rock Out with the Best of the 70s and 80s
The 1970s and 80s were a golden era for road trip music, with hits like Steppenwolf’s “Born to Be Wild” and Aerosmith’s “Dream On” guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping. Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Dani California” and Jet’s “Rip It Up” keep the energy high, while Pearl Jam’s “Even Flow” and The Eagles’ “Already Gone” provide a slightly more mellow vibe.
Modern Twists and Country Flair
Fast-forward to the present day, and you’ll find modern road trip anthems like Rascal Flatts’ “Life is a Highway” and Big and Rich’s “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)”. Meanwhile, classic rock staples like Heart’s “Barracuda” and John Cougar Mellencamp’s “Jack and Diane” continue to endure.
A Little Something Extra
For a dash of psychedelia, try Butthole Surfers’ “Pepper”, while B.o.B’s “Magic” brings a touch of hip-hop to the mix. And no road trip playlist would be complete without a nod to the legendary Woodstock festival, courtesy of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young’s iconic song of the same name. Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers’ “Free Fallin’” and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Snow” round out this epic playlist.
