So I need some suggestions on music to add to my ipod... make a 3000 mile road trip on my motorcycle down into central america... well new orleans then central america.... to do some volunteer work on organic farms and hopefully find a job teachin scuba.... I like everything but heavy metal and rap.... particularly fond of bluegrass and ole time stuff...... kinda in a depressed state of my life right now so anythign somber would be a plus thanks guys
Oh my goodness, that trip sounds amazing! When are you leaving? Best of luck on your journey!!!! And musically, I'll have to get back to ya, but my all time favorite roadtripping song is "Goin' Up The Country" by Canned Heat, haha. It always makes me smile for some reason.
chili peppers, phish, dave matthews, the kooks, jimi hendrix, mgmt, left over salmon.... i could go on
get some elliott smith. Very sad but deep lyrics and he has a great voice. Roman candle, the self titled, and Either-or are his best albums(imo). I'll cautiously recommend rilo kiley, it's hit and miss though.
I definitely agree with Elliot Smith, Phish, and Neil Young. Also... Radiohead, preferably their earlier stuff. Smashing Pumpkins is great road trip music. Hell, it's just great music. John Prine is pretty good, but a lot of his stuff sounds the same to me. Grateful Dead, Keller Williams, Railroad Earth, String Cheese Incident, Umphreys McGee are all great jam bands, and some songs have a good old time/bluegrassy feel.
I always listen to wagon wheel by old crow medicine show when I'm sad , it seems to make me feel better.
If you want bluegrass check out Del McCoury band, Cornmeal, Railroad Earth, Yonder Mountain String Band, Red State Ramblers to name a very very few. Thats not touching the old players such as ralph stanley, ricky skaggs etc.
bbbbboooooooo talk about over saturation of a song, and limited exploration of works by a mass populace. I will resist listening to wagon wheel for at least ten years til it is no longer popular.
i can't listen to music when i'm sad.. or even when i'm happy. for some reason music has like an opposite affect on me and it brings me down.
heres rasputina. they dont have much good on youtube, but theres a few good things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00HEKhc5rT0&feature=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUxCYgTlBU4&feature=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MVxNRKEmGk&feature=related (i'll never understand taking unrelated music and making music videos out of scenes from movies and tv shows, but whatever)
well I feel sorry for you, not liking a song because it's "popular" is immature and childish. I didn't even know it was popular, I've never heard it on the radio. Popular or not, it's a great song and cheers me up, and that's all I care about. Stop trying to act so smart.
