Limbeck - Hi, Everything's Great

/thread

[deadwrong188]

either set your goals album

[killerswells]

saves the day- through being cool

if you can't road trip to that album, you shouldn't road trip

[npmshah]

my ultimate road trip album is either RIOT! by paramore
or anything by anberlin

[dpetty21]

saves the day- through being cool

if you can't road trip to that album, you shouldn't road trip

Exactly! Such a good album to roadtrip to.

Also I like to drive/road trip to any Blink album or any NFG album. And the EP's by Fireworks.

Limbeck - Hi, Everything's Great

/thread


Absolutely!

[lonelysuperstar]

Thursday - Running From the Rain

This song always makes me want to drive.

[crimsonandclovr]

semi-charmed life by third eye blind. DEFINITELY a must.

maybe all star by smash math too? haha

[JunkyVomit]

Saves the Day - Shoulder to the Wheel
This Time Next Year - Cheers to a Late Night
Hit the Lights - Stay Out

[Ishbalan]

From Autumn To Ashes - Pioneers

[mick2late]

Third Eye Blind.

And I agree 100% with whoever said Saves the Day's "Through Being Cool." Such a great album to drive to.

[SimplyChaotic17]

saves the day- through being cool

if you can't road trip to that album, you shouldn't road trip

I completely agree, but I'm looking for more of a mesh of multiple artists than one whole album!
But, through being cool is deffinetely perfect for road trips!

[j-dogg_69]

any particular genre? because Ryan Adams, Jack's Mannequin, and, wait for it, Tiesto, all come to mind for my road trips

[apsterling]

Midtown - Save The World, Lose the Girl

[Froggy12]

The Matches album Decomposer is a good road trip album, cause it's pretty high energy.

[MikeTheManR]

Anything by The Hold Steady is great for road trips. Steel Train is fun to. I just made a 2 disc road trip mix for my cousin who's moving out to Seattle.

8. The Hold Steady- Sequestered In Memphis

10. Jenny Owen Youngs- Led To The Sea
11. Limbeck- Home (Is Where The Van Is)
12. Steel Train- Leave You Travelling
13. The Dimes- This Time
14. Margot & The Nuclear So & So's- As Tall As Cliffs
15. Deer & The Headlights- Run In The Front
16. Dustin Kensrue- Pistol
17. Rilo Kiley- The Execution Of All Things

Great mix.

My road trip music choices stem from going on road trips as a kid and the kind of stuff my parents would have playing. I'm also from the south, so keep that in mind too...

Audioslave - Cochise
Billy Bragg and Wilco - California Stars
Bob Dylan - Tangled Up in Blue
Conor Oberst - Moab
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Cross Canadian Ragweed - Brooklyn Kid
Doobie Brothers - Black Water
The Format - Wait, Wait, Wait
The Hold Steady - Stuck Between Stations
James McMurtry - Memorial Day
Jenny Lewis - See Fernando
Led Zeppelin - Good Times, Bad Times
My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday
Neil Young - Out on the Weekend
Pat Green - Snowing on Raton
The Refreshments - Interstate
The Shins - Pink Bullets
Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song
Tom Petty - Into the Great Wide Open


...to name a few.

Thanks. I approve of your list as well. I really wanted to put Moab on my list, but my cousin isn't a big fan of Bright Eyes/Connor. California Stars was also a great choice.

Glad you enjoyed it. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. If I'm feeling ambitious, I might try to make a couple more this weekend.

Please do that! You have a superb taste in music and those songs are very fitting for long drives. I'd really like to hear what else you come up with.

Mike your tape was sweet. Steel Train and Limbeck are perfect for the road
