good travelling songs

[OnWisconsin]

am going to be embarking on a 1,000 mile drive in about 3 weeks....normally this trip takes between 14-20 hours depending on my mood....got my young rottie with me, so i'm estimating 20-30 hours depending on how well he deals with it. music always helps here, but most of my burned cds are getting worn and the computer i had with over 1000 songs has long since crashed. i gotta buy some new shit and am trying to compile a list of good road tunes, especially 2 o'clock in the morning on a lonely ineterstate type music.

classic rock, classic country, golden oldies, 90s country.... looking to burn roughly 20 cds....anybody wanna give me 10 - 15 songs they'd put on a cd if they had a long road trip coming up?

Ever heard of "books on tape" They make a trip fly by.

My wife and I got back from a 6 hour trip and set in the driveway for 30 min waiting for the end of a chapter.

i used to love reading, but nowadays i just don't seem to have the attention span...i'd hate to waste a good drive not paying attention for 20 hours....

yes, good tune, but i'd have to group it with others in that category to make a cd....ever listen to todd snider "all right guy"? could be 2 songs on a cd there....

Good choice, it's on Sticky Fingers. A similar Stones song is Thru and Thru on Voodoo Lounge.
