Every good roadtrip needs a soundtrack. Something to sing along (in my case, usually badly) to while you drive. There are so many good road trip songs out there.
I tend to have what my family refers to as Music A.D.D. I love music, music of all kinds. Anything from country to rap, metal, pop, & well pretty much everything else including Broadway Musical scores and old 80's Hairbands.
I have noticed over the years that a good roadtrip soundtrack can vary depending on who you are traveling with. If I am with my family its usually old country and some blues with some Michael Buble` and Elton John mixed in there somewhere. If I am with friends, well there really is no rhyme or reason to what we listen to. Just whatever we are in the mood for, sometimes Metalica, sometimes Garth Brooks or even REO Speedwagon.
I tried to come up with a top 20 song list but I failed miserably because well lets face it, it was ending up to be a top 150 (seriously). I enlisted some help, and who better to ask for help with a musical emergency but a musician. Skot Bradley is an extremely talented guy who is living now in Nashville TN. We met Skot last January while on our cruise to Key West and the Bahamas. So with some help from him I have come up with a list of must listen to albums for your next RoadTrip.
