Best Rocks Songs for road trips 

When you’re on a road trip you need many things, one of the most important is great music! I’ve picked 6 classic records to make your trip that little bit better!

1. Twisted Sister-I Wanna Rock.

Weirdly I first heard this during the movie ‘Road Trip’ and I’ve never forgotten it. It’s a brash, over the top, classic 80s rock anthem. It’s perfectly suited for life on the open road. Feet will tap, heads will nod and you’ll find yourself pressing repeat.

2. The Rolling Stones-Midnight Rambler

Released back in 1969 this song has everything for when you’re all a bit tired, it’s near the end of the day and everybody is reflecting. The harmonica and guitar riffs are legendary and the album version especially is epic!

3. AC DC-Highway To Hell

This is possibly the ultimate road trip song. It has everything and is one of the most famous records ever made. It’s a completely timeless rock classic that will instantly have you rocking in your seat whatever the hangover and how tired you are.

4. Steppenwolf-Born to be Wild

How can anyone not love this record? It’s simply awesome! Somewhere along the line people stopped making music like this and the golden age of rock and roll was lost. This record lives on however. I challenge anyone not to turn the volume up when this comes on the radio.

5. The Rolling Stones-Start Me Up

May be your nursing a hangover, your overtired may be even feeling unwell. Put this record on and you’ll be rejuvenated this is the record to start a day on the open road with.

6. Ray Charles-Hit The Road Jack

Despite a running time of just over 2 minutes, this is Ray Charles at his absolute best and is a stunning record. The piano, Ray’s voice and the chemistry with back vocalist Margie Hendricks is ridiculously infectious. Put this on and you will be pressing repeat over and over again!
