Title: Roadtrip Post by: Coachhill on July 25, 2012, 03:51:45 PM Ok, i have a question, when traveling, especially driving and you set up your play list on your iPod or MP3, what Beach Boy or even non BB song do you have to start the trip with?

Title: Re: Roadtrip Post by: Jukka on July 25, 2012, 11:12:53 PM Honkin' down the Highway works everyday. And, it depends on where you are going. Out in the countryside I always crank up Cottonfields. On a long, open and deserted stretch of highway I cruise majestically to Sail On, Sailor. Watch out for No-Go Showboat, despite its name it's too easy to get a ticket while driving to that. And I just have to take my hands of the wheel and clap along to the instrumental break.

Title: Re: Roadtrip Post by: Sheriff John Stone on July 26, 2012, 10:29:22 AM "California Girls" is a great opener for any BB tracklist. For a specific roadtrip tracklist, "Surfin' Safari" is excellent - "Early in the morning we'll be startin' out..."
One of my favorite non-Beach Boys' openers for a roadtrip tracklist is "Roadhouse Blues" by The Doors. Title: Re: Roadtrip Post by: positivemusic on July 26, 2012, 05:37:41 PM From The Beach Boys, it could be anything upbeat.
Lucky Old Sun gets a lot of plays on long drives. As far as non-Beach Boys, one song I always play on road trips is "About An Hour Ago" by O.A.R. Itself a song about a road trip/adventure. And sometimes "The Way" by Fastball. |
