Name three songs you’d put on a road trip mix tape.

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

Classic. Bombastic sax solo, rolling snare drum, windows down, get away.

Airline to Heaven by Billy Bragg & Wilco

Good sing-along chorus and an awesome foot-stomping beat.

Consolation Prizes by Phoenix

Try listening to this song in a car without banging along on your steering wheel. I dare you.

This is my first post from Plinky (www.plinky.com)–a service that asks a new, random question each day.

    1. “Night Moves” by Bob Seger. One of the most evocative songs ever written.
    2. “Dancing Days” by Led Zeppelin. “I told your momma I'd get you home. But I didn't tell her I had no car.”
    3. “Common People” by Pulp. There's a great book waiting to be written about why the United Kingdom has produced more first-rate pop music than the U.S. despite having only a fraction as many people. This song will be as good a place as any for the author to start.
