I'm going down to Eastern Illinois University to hang with a couple of friends for a weekend next month. The trip is three hours long, so I thought that I would start making a playlist. So far, I have these songs...
Drift Away-Uncle Kracker
Friends in Low Places-Garth Brooks
Hemorrage (In My Hands)-Fuel
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Understeer: you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
Oversteer is when the driver finds his limits. Snap oversteer is when the limits find the driver.
I'll be driving three hours in two weeks to see Cheap Trick in Champaign, then again the next night in DeKalb.
You can't go wrong putting in the boys from Rockford. Put in their epynonmous first album, "In Color," and "Rockford." Great stuff. You also can't go wrong with Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or The Beatles.
I have made a compilation cd I call 70mph tunes...they 'work' really well above 70
Rascal Flatts, Me and My gang
Toby and Willie , Beer for My Horses
Aaron Tippen, Kiss This
Craig Morgan, International Harvester
Mark Wills, 19 Something
Alan Jackson, Whos Cheating Who
JoDee Messina Bye Bye
Kenny Chesney, Livin in Fast Forward
Diamond Rio, Unbelievable
etc...its about 70 minutes worth of country.
Also get a good driving 'buzz' from John Mayer's Room for Squares.
Anytime is a good time for Alice Cooper, the older the better!
Stones Black and Blue...
And my favorite 'local' band ( from Chicago) The Bad Examples.

Wanna know what's wrong with IndyCar? It's gone from dirt ovals to street races.

You can't make a race car out of a Pig, But you can sure make a damn fast Pig.
Any and all Foghat
Post!!!I'm impressed you know. You are a true fan! Can you believe he's still making a career out of his "I'm almost famous" career? I have to admit I went to see him to see what could have been.
Good singer, but I'm glad they decided on Robin.
I always thought it would be a good idea for ex band members from famous groups to get together and see if they could create something.
Get Zeno, Pete Best (pre Ringo), Hiro Yamamoto (ex Soundgarden bassist) and Jason Everman (ex Nirvana, ex Soundgarden) and you'd have quite a lineup there.
Two quick mentions. But I'll probably be back with more.
Allman Brothers Band - Jessica
Sure, the video doesn't have Chuck Leavell, which is what made the studio version magical. But watch Derek slowly construct 2 distinct, burning solos. Damn.
Allman Brothers Band - Ain't Wastin' Time No More
"The face of a child can say it all. Especially the mouth part of the face" - Jack Handey
I've long thought that any speeder should be given an extra 10 MPH on the speed limit if they can prove they were listining to the Allman Brothers at the time.
My all-time favorite driving tuen is "L.A. Woman" by the Doors.
I ain't quiet, everybody else is too loud.
Howlin' Wolf. You choose, they are all good, but I'll pick "Howlin For My Darlin" to start.
"Guitar Town" by Steve Earle
"Waterloo Sunset" by The Kinks
Any Buddy Holly tune
I'm not really into the 'old school' country...I like the country-rock of today.
Back in the day when I was doing sound and lighting I worked with Z on a number of occasions ( after Steve Grimm left Bad Boy, they became Bad Guys with Z on lead vocals.)Post!!!
Good singer, but I'm glad they decided on Robin.
I still cringe when thinking about all those shows...lots of 'white' if you know what I mean..
Anything by Wilson Pickett
"You see Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care."
Werewolf of London by the late great Warren Zevon
Lazy Summer Afternoon by the Kinks
Los Lobos-Shakin' Shakin' Shakes
Two quick mentions. But I'll probably be back with more.
Allman Brothers Band - Jessica

Allman Brothers Band - Ain't Wastin' Time No More

If you're referring to Kokomo, none that I can find.
Jackson Browne's Running On Empty works rather well. So does most anything by Lyle Lovett, especially his uptempo Texas Swing stuff.
They're working on building a bypass around the US 31 bypass in Kokomo.

"Yet people are considered to be "educated" after they have spent so many years in ivy-covered buildings, absorbing the preconceptions that prevail there."

Growing Old Is No Excuse For Growing Up.
I find myself searching for Classical stations more often than not if Im expecting to be on the road for a while.
that or movie soundtracks which pretty much are the same thing
Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster. -George Harrison
