In a survey done by IMR Inc., an automotive market research company, more than 25,000 U.S. consumers ages 18-65 were asked which recording artist they would listen to while gearing up to hit the open highway. The man who gave us “Thunder Road” and “Pink Cadillac” was the top choice:
Bruce Springsteen 24%
Keith Urban 16.4%
Bruno Mars 16.1%
Jimmy Buffett 15.7%
Lady Gaga 11.5%
Taylor Swift 8.6%
Beyonce 7.7%
Bruce understands that a good driving song should make you feel like you’re breaking the speed limit even if you’re just sitting at your desk. That’s why he’s included on my road trip playlist:
“Adventure Of A Lifetime” – Coldplay
“Beautiful Day” – U2
“Born To Be Wild” – Steppenwolf
“Born To Run” – Bruce Springsteen
“Eastbound And Down” – Jerry Reed
“Eminence Front” – The Who
