Great "Road" Songs

Listening to the iPod and it came up with three great " road" songs in quick sucession.

Travelling Band by CCR
On the Road again by Canned Heat
Willin by Little Feat

Any other great Road/Travelling songs for an imaginary compilation CD?

    The Eagles - Life in the Fast lane

    I am also rather partial to Rihannas - Shut up and Drive
  • Options
    Heh heh

    Most of those selections are normally featured on adverts for 'The greatest drive album...... EVER volume 3'!!

    Can't beat hardcore Belgian techno

    Don't know the Rihannas but the Eagles yes. Would have gone for Take it Easy but maybe the Jackson Browne Version

    "I'm running down the road
    Trying to losen my load
    Got seven women on my mind"

    Sounds like WSS's theme song.

    Henry it was my bad grammar. I am sure you know Rihanna as opposed to The Rihannas.

    No, they are full of Queen and Bruce Springsteen songs not Little Feat and Canned Heat. Big difference.

    What Type of Belgium techno. I prefer the Flemish stuff to the Wallon.

    Road to Nowhere - Talking Heads.
    Especially good for a trip to an obscure away match like Grimsby!
    (Sorry Henry - still a bit obvious for you maybe)

    No spot on Weggie. It's a song about going on the road NOT as Carter suggested a "driving song ie some power ballad the people on Top Gear would listen to.

    Musical snob and proud
