Freeways by BTO is always near the top of my Road Trip list, even above Highway Star. As is one I suspect few will know - Ieya by Toyah.

2022-07-10 23:05:17 +0000 UTCRe High Hopes, there is a line second from last 'The Endless River' this is the title of an album released after Richard Wright died. I think David Gilmore put together some odd recordings of Richards both Pink Floyd never used or his own demos if you listen you can hear some Pink Floyd snippets.

2022-07-05 16:04:38 +0000 UTCEnjoyed the road trip songs, but obviously was not on the same thinking as others, I don’t view road trip songs as themed on driving, my take is generally songs that I like and my wife will as well, if my wife sings along it’s usually a good one for the list. I’m not a sociable person, my wife is, so I use the time to think, my wife uses it to socialise. I do my best work on road trips, gives me time to switch off and think. A very famous song was written by me on a road trip, but I’m going to keep you all in the dark.

2022-07-03 21:09:43 +0000 UTCGood video! I urge you to give Mirage by Camel a listen all the way through, Doug. It's a great album and my personal favourite of theirs.
Ole Martin
2022-07-03 19:37:24 +0000 UTCOr another John Garcia project: Unida's "Black Woman" The whole "Coping with the Urban Coyote" album has such a beautifully saturated, FAT guitar sound that sounds like a revved up V8.

2022-07-03 09:51:30 +0000 UTCKyuss' Thumb (personal favourite) or Green Machine (the classic choice) would have been great heavier selections for this listing! If I ever get the chance to ride through the US west coast on a muscle car, desert rock will be IMPERATIVE, lol!

2022-07-02 18:40:58 +0000 UTCI'd rather not, thanks.

2022-07-02 18:39:56 +0000 UTCNewbie here - could I suggest you might try Folksong Crisis parts 1 and 2 by Seafood. It is so good it made me stop my car to listen to it the first time I heard it. Thanks
Simon
2022-07-02 18:18:16 +0000 UTCI really appreciate that we have a voice in what gets chosen to play. I'm not sure, but I think that may be unique to what you do, Doug. It's fun to be a part of it and fun to hear what other people enjoy. Great choices, all!

2022-07-02 18:09:40 +0000 UTCThe official video for "Twilight Zone" was very popular on MTV at the time, and during that long-ish instrumental section there's enough going on in the video that the section does not seem too long.

2022-07-02 14:55:54 +0000 UTCHighway Star by Deep Purple should've been here
John B
2022-07-02 04:10:34 +0000 UTCLove it. Although, I would've included Red Barchetta as well LOL. Doug, you need to take a road trip to Albuquerque. We'd love to have you and Megan to enjoy some SW hospitality by way of NJ and Seattle. :)

2022-07-02 00:09:33 +0000 UTCGood stuff!

2022-07-01 23:02:53 +0000 UTCI know not to share the video, but can we share the audio playlist?

2022-07-01 21:45:25 +0000 UTCThanks, Doug -- this came out with perfect timing to set the mood for my own road trip starting tomorrow (Kings Canyon, Yosemite/Tioga Pass, Reno, and Lone Pine). Enjoyed this video very much!
Richard Moore
2022-07-01 18:03:55 +0000 UTCSmall nitpick, the Tom Petty solo album you mentioned was "Full Moon Fever" (not just "Moon Fever")
BRIAN MILLER
2022-07-01 16:08:07 +0000 UTCNo apologies needed...ever! We appreciate you Doug -- all your hard work and dedication to the channel and bringing us such joy! Thank you for EVERYTHING! Have a fantastic holiday weekend!
