R.L. Burnside - Let My Baby Ride
I bought a shirt at Hot Topic when I was in middle school, and it came with a Vans compilation that had this song on it as well as “New Noise” by Refused … my life changed that day.
Rancid - Django
Rancid’s Indestructible, NOFX’s Punk In Drublic, and Social Distortion’s self-titled album were the first punk rock albums I ever owned.  Before a show, I typically like to ingest a healthy dose of said albums.  This song always does it for me: amped, ramped, and ready to slay. - Trae Vedder
Lynyrd Skynyrd - I Know A Little
The Rosewood Thieves - Silver Gun - Paul Doss *Song is currently not on Spotify
Paul & Linda McCartney - Monkberry Moon Delight
Well, the first line is “So I sat in the attic, a piano up my nose”… yeah, that’s good enough for me.
J. Roddy Walston & The Business - Don’t Break The Needle
This is great driving music, also a good sing along, a must for a van playlist. - J. Betts
Pink Floyd - Sleep *Song is currently not on Spotify
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
These aren’t songs, rather composers creating art. - Greg Neel
Black Sabbath - Hole in the Sky
Perfect driving/touring music. Here in Atlanta there is a big revival of riff heavy bands that are influenced by these guys but they seem so boring in comparison. It makes complete sense because this song has an energy you just can’t duplicate, trust me Ive tried. I wish I could write songs this gigantic sounding. They made it seem so effortless.
Social Distortion - Reach for the Sky
We had the honor of playing with these guys last year and it is definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had. Mike Ness is just eternally cool. If Black Sabbath makes me want to grow my hair even longer and head bang all day, these guys make me want to cut it short, slick it back, and get tattoos on my knuckles. Such authentic attitude. - Daniel Gleason

Prince - When Doves Cry
This song right here moves me on a spiritual level. 
At The Drive In - Napoleon Solo
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. - Terrence Richard
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
Its just a straight forward rock n roll song. Plus he’s black and Irish and thats so cool.
Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden
This is too sexy not to be on a playlist. - Philip Wheeler
Bridge And Tunnel - Rubrics
makes me want to have an influence of someone
Des Ark - Waitin *Song is currently not on Spotify
Theres a line in that reminds me a friend that past recently. - Elias Pittman
Wu Tang - C.R.E.A.M
Its motivates me. It gets me lifted.
Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon
Frank is the blueprint for cool. - Jeff Saer
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
The grandeur and the heaviness of this song blows me away.
Marvin Gaye - Whats Going On
James Jameson and the social commentary really just makes this a perfect song. - Colin Watts

The Throne - Why I Love You (feat. Mr. Hudson)
This is one of those songs that the second I heard it I froze. I knew I loved it in a few seconds. I’m always looking for songs like that. Most songs I love don’t instantly connect with me but I’m amazed at the songs that do. The chorus is a universal anthem.
Portugal The Man - The Sun
I’m really getting into everything I see as “art pop” and most the songs on this playlist are my definition of it.  This song makes me feel so happy every time I hear it. John Gourley has one of my favorite falsetto’s ever and anytime a song has high male and female vocals I’m usually all about it. 
Jungol - Fast Asleep
This is one of my favorite bands of all time. They’re gonna be really really big I know it. People just need to spread the word. Their music puts me in a place where I forget where I am a lot of the time. They just have such a unique sound whenever I hear them I feel like I go to this other world I can only reach with their music.
John Legend - Show Me
This is the only John Legend song I’ve ever liked but I love it. The chord progression and the feel is completely timeless to me. I don’t think a song like this could ever sound dated. I love the lyrics too, I believe every word he’s singing.
OutKast - Stankonia (Stanklove)
I admire this song as a musician as much as I do as a listener. First time I heard it I instantly started trying to come up with something like it. It has so many elements and styles all put together. No genre, no one sound, that’s the best kind of song to me. 
Dirty Projectors - Temecula Sunrise
I don’t know where to start, I love every note in this song. Of all the guitar players out there that I think are continuing the work Jimmy Page started I think Dave Longstreth is the closest to that magic feeling Page constantly brought out in the listener. He’s also one of my favorite singers and songwriters. 
Stone Temple Pilots - Atlanta
I love when a band comes out with a song I’d never expect from them.  This is one of the best examples I can think of. I didn’t think they had this in them, it’s so different from anything else I’ve heard from them.  It’s delicate and heavy, childlike and yet very dark, really smart and totally accessible in my opinion.
Silverchair - Tuna In The Brine
Most people I know don’t realize Silverchair pretty much became an art pop band on their last two albums. This is my favorite example of that sound. I feel like this song could of been on Sgt. Peppers, it’s so experimental but with powerful, powerful melodies.
Rosie Thomas - Let Myself Fall
I’ve always loved a cappella music. It’s so simple and minimal but it’s as emotional and moving as music gets to me.
Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song *Song is currently not on Spotify
This has been my favorite song ever since the first time I heard it.- Zach Beachum

These are songs that have either inspired us or kept us awake/alive on the road.  It’s a mixture of songwriters that we look up to and songs that have deep memories from the road attached to them. - Mel Washington
