    Hey there, I´m looking for some help, wondering if you guys could aid me a bit.

    I´m planning on a road trip this summer, and I´m thinking I need some good "on the road" songs .

    Ofcourse I´ve already got the obvious classics down, such as ´Born to be wild´ and ´Highway to hell´

    Sooo.... any suggestion will be greatly appreciated :)

    I've driven across the country twice, from Idaho to New York both times, and find that anything upbeat and anything everyone can sing along to is best. Audio books are also nice, depending on how far you're going.

    DJ Shadow - The Private Press for night driving.
    The Hold Steady - Seperation Sunday is my current choice for long hauling.

    Tenacious D - Tenacious D
    The Bloodhound Gang - Hooray for Boobies

    No. Really. Both these albums get played, in their entirety, on any car trip I take. They keep me awake, they keep me alert, they keep me amused. Unfortunately I don't get to blast them at the Proper Level now that I have a child...

    On a trip from NYC to Denver in 91 "Sweet Home Alabama" came on the radio all the time, so I always associate that song with road trips.

    Refused is an absolute necessity.

    You also need the collected works of Girls Against Boys for when you're driving around between dusk and dawn.

    Bat Out Of Hell, by Meat Loaf, has become one of my new favorite songs over the past month. The rest of the album I could leave behind, but the title track is worth it and perfect for crashing your car. Wait, that's a bad thing.

    Similarly, Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven is perfectly suited to long, monotonous stretches of road. After a while, you get an out of body experience as the music transcends simple background noise and invades your brain.

    ... Also a bad thing, come to think of it, but those were the two pieces which came to mind.

    I second the GY!BE emperor idea.
    F#A#(Infinity) is pretty good as well. The Dead Flag Blues is mostly awesome on country roads/long stretches of motorway.

    Thanx for all the advice, and keep it coming :)

    Many great records and songs there I had completely forgotten. To give you further insight the trip will take place on Iceland, the plan is to go the full circle with a stop at Icelands rock festival Eistnaflug this summer, and will take 2-3 weeks.

    So we will need songs to cover the whole, the road, the partying and camping, and the hangovers ;)
    I already have a list that covers almost one page, but there are never to many good tunes .

    I'll throw in a Refused vote but I have to add The New Noise Theology by them as well. It's a short EP but it is just as excellent as The Shape of Punk to Come.

    I'll also throw in:
    Tom Waits - Blue Valentine (good for driving in the rain)
    Crystal Method - Tweekend
    Fatboy Slim - You've Come a Long Way, Baby
    Anything by Bomb the Music Industry! would be good for sing-a-longs.

    I haven't owned a copy since before I got my license, but I bet the soundtrack to Lost Highway would be good driving fodder.

    Mine was a very long string of anime themes and j-pop broken up with classic rock.

    This may not work for everyone.
