If you have ever experienced a proper road trip, you know that music is a key component to compliment a drive. For instance, a great song can transform a dull drive into a thrilling musical adventure! A boring dirt road no more! For example, a perfect song can take your mind off the tiresome drive, and turn the interior of your car into a recording studio!
CEOWORLD Magazine’s executive survey ranked the 50 best songs for a road trip. Before we get to “Hit the Road Jack” and Whitesnake, we’re going to start our engines with number fifty on our list. The talented and beautiful Sheryl Crow begins our list. Let the engines rev!
50. Sheryl Crow, “Everyday Is a Winding Road”
You’ll notice some aviator sunglasses and a few shots of cars in this first song. A great tune to kick off our musical adventure!
49. Ray Charles, “Hit the Road Jack”
48. Sufjan Stevens, “Chicago”
47. The Beatles, “Two of Us”
46. The Allman Brothers Band, “Ramblin’ Man”
