Some of these are good for road trips, and others for the daily commute.
By John Fogerty/Creedence Clearwater Revival
A true American classic, Fortunate Son’s mix of loud, rock sounds and passionate lyrics sung by one of the great country vocalists of all time makes for an energizing blend of sound.
By LCD Sound System
The techno beat and fast pace of this song makes it the kind of music you would expect to hear during a chase scene in a movie, but it is also good for getting energized while driving around.
By Creedence Clearwater Revival
A classic road-trip song for generations, Bad Moon Rising has a catchy beat and a mix of instruments that is perfect for the highway. Once again, John Fogerty shows his genius as a vocalist, as well.
By Stevie Wonder
This classic song, with its mix of funk, brass instruments, and a synthesizer, is extremely catchy. It’s great for highway driving on a long trip, as well as for brief errands and the daily commute.
By Eastern Conference Champions
Not everyone will be a fan of ECC’s sound, as it can be a bit nasal at times, but the beat is catchy. This song is great for getting going at the start of a long road trip.
By The White Stripes
A strong electric guitar and drum opening, along with stellar vocals by Jack White, make Ball and Biscuit a great song for rhythm on the move.
By The White Stripes
The rhythmic beat of this song will get anyone nodding in time, and the combined electric guitar and vocals of Jack White make for a good highway cruising song.
By AC/DC
With one of the classic guitar openings of all time and a great, catchy chorus, this AC/DC masterpiece is great for local driving, as well as on longer trips.
By Lenny Kravitz
No road trip selection is complete without American Woman. Although both the older and more recent versions are good, I recommend the original version. No matter which one you choose, turn it up LOUD.
By Teddybears
Make sure you watch your speedometer when this song comes up, as it will make you want to drive a lot faster. Definitely a good highway song, but also fine for short trips.
