And Billy Dawber suggests we "should be concentrating on the roads not the music. Just saying peeps. What's wrong with the sound of the engine running!".
Karl Brittenden came up with Cradle of Filth's song Ghost in the Fog. Have a listen and see what you think.
Malcolm McLeod put up "Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band Hollywood Nights, or, if a nice sunny day, some Dire Straits - in particular Telegraph Road (In fact, the whole Love Over Gold, or Brothers In Arms albums)."
We loved this one from Kate Hargis-Roycroft - The Doors Roadhouse Blues. 'Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel.''
"Good driving advice lol," reckons Kate.
And Rachael King should be congratulated for her broad musical taste.
"Wonderwall by Oasis ... Follow Me by Uncle Kracker ... Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks ... all great songs to yell along too!!"
Here are my Top 5 road trip songs.
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes - Home
Songs can transport you back to a time, and a place, and this song does that immediately - a wet summer's day, driving between Ruakaka and Mangawhai, and coming home to a sodden tent and what was left of a gazebo blown apart. And yet it was a happy, memorable family day.
Our playlist that day helped a little bit, I think.
Ray La Montagne - Trouble/Hold you in my arms
This is actually two songs, from an artist so shy he often performs from the side of the stage.
Hearing Ray La Montagne is like slipping a virtual reality helmet on, it transports me to Matamata's long straights on Friday nights, driving home to my family.
A weekly commute to Rotorua over two months offers lots of listening time, but I don't recommend it. Ray La Montagne made it easier.
David Kilgour and Sam Hunt - The Gunner's Lament
Two of my favourite New Zealanders combine to make this James K Baxter poem about a Maori Vietnam soldier into a great song.
Kilgour's guitar playing, Hunt's idiosyncratic delivery and Baxter's words kept this my car's CD player for a long time, filling the void at traffic lights and roadworks.
"Like a bullock to the abattoirs In the name of liberty They flew me with a hangover Across the Tasman Sea. James K Baxter
