In the interest of brevity (I have no more than a few minutes today to write, which is awful), I ask you:
What are your top five favorite road songs of all time?
I have a mental list going of my Gittin' Down The Road songs, but I want to make a CD for my next trip, and I'd like some suggestions, new ideas; I'm open to that. I love certain songs for this reason: They remind me of other road trips that I've been on. Pretty simple, but the fact is the trips were unusually good, important or crazy. You know the kind of song I mean, too.
I'll start with this one: Graceland - Paul Simon
It has punctuated so many good trips that it's almost a requirement to listen to - a good luck talisman - and without it, I do not feeling truly in my groove.
Okay, your turn.

Ooh Clapton and Brian Setzer are good choices that I hadn't thought of.
For my money (at least while flying up I-5 in the pitch black) I'd go with something from the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Higher Ground.
