WXPN is doing their annual 885 songs countdown. (It is 88.5 on the FM dial.) This year's theme is "Songs that make you want to hit the road". You can submit your top ten list and they will compile the resulkts and play back all the songs in mid October.
I thought it would be interesting to see what our lists would look like.
Although there are probably a ton of songs that fit this category, I have jotted down some standards but would like to see what you guys have to say. I always look forward to finding songs that I don't know much about or never heard.
Runnin' Down a Dream Tom Petty Goin' Up the Country Canned Heat Radar Love Golden Earring Midnight Rider The Allman Brothers Just Crusin' Will Smith Alabama Getaway Grateful Dead Are You Gonna Go My Way? Lenny Kravitz Beatles Drive My Car The Cars Let's Go Steppenwolf Born To Be Wild Steppenwolf Magic Carpet Ride The Who Going Mobile AC/DC Highway to Hell Foghat Slow Ride Bruce Springsteen Born To Run Sammy Hagar I Can't Drive 55 Ray Charles Hit the Road Jack

Hm, I have to agree with most of your list. The first ones that came to mind, you already have on there. I might add: She Can Do That - David Bowie (who else?) Drive - The Cars
I agree with most of those. I think I'd also include:
Fuel ~ Metallica All Right Now ~ Free I'm Shipping up to Boston - Dropkick Murphys I've Been Everywhere ~ Johnny Cash On The Road Again ~ Willie Nelson Mustang Sally ~ Wilson Pickett Start Me Up ~ Rolling Stones Shakin' ~ Eddie Money Free Bird ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd Drivin' My Life Away ~ Eddie Rabbit Roam ~ B52s
