Make the perfect road trip mix

I’ve created an event where hundreds of people are participating in making and exchanging road trip mixes for each other around the world. Anyone welcome!

I run a CD swap, Burn It, and driving music was the very first theme. Here’s what I used for mine:

01 Dwight Yoakam – Crazy Little Thing Called Love
02 Blessid Union of Souls – Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me)
03 Nelson – (Can’t Live Without Your) Love And Affection
04 INXS – Disappear
05 The Cure – Friday I’m In Love
06 The Pet Shop Boys – Always On My Mind
07 Londonbeat – I’ve Been Thinking About You
08 UB40 – Higher Ground
09 Harry Belafonte – Jump in The Line
10 Art of Noise featuring Tom Jones – Kiss
11 Green Day – Baset Case
12 Everclear – Local God
13 The B-52’s – Rock Lobster
14 Erasure – Stop!
15 Simply Red – Stars
16 The Las – There She Goes
17 Talking Heads – And She Was
18 Tori Amos – Raspberry Swirl
19 Postal Service – Such Great Heights
20 US3 – Cantaloop (Ultimix)
21 DJ Sammy & Yanou featuring Do – Heaven

I’ve been saying “I’m gonna do this” for a few years now – specifically, to make a mix for the drive out to Burning Man. I’ve gotten suggestions from people, made preliminary choices regarding track order…but I’ve never gotten off my @$$ and actually DONE it.

And yesterday, it abruptly occurred to me that I’ve got space to do a really long mix, because the person I’m going with this year has a built-in MP3 player in his car. So now I really need to quit procrastinating and do it. (I’ll post a track listing once I finally finish.)

I love putting together playlists and have been trying to put together the perfect roadtrip mix for a while now. There has to be a good mix of fast and slow songs and some unexpected ones in there as well. Suggestions for songs would be greatly appreciated!
