Summer is comin' and that means rockin' road trips. Let me introduce you to our top 10 rockin' road trip albums. These are some of the biggest classic albums of all time and represent the drivin' music fans of rock and roll.
- 1
"The Wall" - Pink Floyd
Truly amazing music for the roadDrum roll for numero uno: Pink Floyd's THE WALL shortens the destination on long road trips. Released as a double album, the tunes fly in this great concept album that doubles as rockin' road music.

"Runnin' Down A Dream" - Tom Petty
It doesn't get any better for pedal to the metal road tunes that thisFrom "Free Fallin'" to the title track "Runnin' Down A Dream" that screams top down, Del Shannon "Runaway" on the radio, this is one of the best at #2 on my list.
- 3
"Born To Run" - Bruce Springsteen
This is the real deal with motorin' music to fit the tripThe Boss is the best and miles melt away with "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out," "Born To Run" and "Thunder Road." Try this baby for your next jaunt to Laramie from Cheyenne...should time out at around 45 minutes.
- 4
"LA Woman" - The Doors
This must have been written and produced by the band exactly for road musicThe infectious "Roadhouse Blues" is one of the best single road songs on the planet. Turn up "LA Woman" and "Riders On The Storm" extra loud for extra smiles to the mile.
- 5
"Live Bullet" - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
Recorded live in Cobo Hall Detroit - One of the best live albums of all timeIt doesn't get any better than live "Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser," "Turn The Page" and "Katmandu." These are hard core road songs and one of our favorites for long road trips.
- 6
"Captain & Me" - Doobie Brothers
Hold on to your hat and bonnet if you have the top downOne of the first albums I ever bought in 1973. The tunes are as rockin' as the road. "China Grove" is the best, hard rockin', hard drivin' tune ever done. "Long Train Runnin'," "Ukiah" and "Clear As The Driven Snow" are grand for late night road flights.
- 7
"Back In Black" - AC-DC
Firepower on the long lonesome highwayWhere do we start? "You Shook Me All Night" is one of those set at 11 songs. "Back In Black," "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" and "Shoot To Thrill," I'm like a New Yorker here. Forget about it!
- 8
"Little Creatures" - Talking Heads
Nice, tasty road music change of paceThe aptly named "Stay Up Late" perfect when driving all night. "And She Was" and "Road To Nowhere" perfect for a post alternative change of pace.
- 9
"White Album" - Beatles
Fab Four during the change from to perfectionSome day this is the best Beatles album and perhaps one of the best of all time. Where do we begin road warriors? From "Back In The USSR" to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and every song in between, this is a must for the miles.
- 10
"Repeat When Necessary" - Dave Edmunds
80's pure road pop for now peopleWhat better road music than a song called "Crawlin' From The Wreckage"? The Elvis Costello song "Girl's Talk" and "Queen Of Hearts" covered by Juice Newton. All pure pop road music. Rockabilly on the open road.
