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.
