3 Brits and an Aussie are spending two weeks driving in the US and the aim is if possible to create a playlist of songs that will be so long we don't have to repeat the same song twice.
We have 3 criteria for the songs they either have to be about:
- being on the move
- America in some way
- or simply true driving classics
That's it. We have a starter for ten here: http://playfulplanning.blogspot.com/2006/08/road-trip-usa-style.html
But I want to know what you would play, listen and sing along to.
Send 'em through!

If anyone is interested I will post to my blog the complete list of tracks, so if you ever do the same thing, you've got a load of songs to start with.
