I'm going to be driving a truck this weekend. I'm making a mix CD from my collection of music. What are your top truck driving tunes that you like to listen to when on the road?

1. Call me the Breeze - Lynard Skynard version
2. I've been everywhere - Cash
3. Long gone daddy - Hank Williams Sr.

What do you need a mix CD for? Just tune in to your local classic rock station.

there aren't any good classic country stations in my area and the classic rock stations are starting to phase in a lot of cheesy 80's mainstream rock.

Oh, I didn't notice that you're out west. Here in the "heartland", you'll get more of that stuff than you can shake the proverbial stick at. Meanwhile, there's not a single rap playing station that broadcasts in my hometown (Minneapolis has a few, but Rochester doesn't). Not that that's a bad thing, but it's just an example of the lack of variety in the radio here. There's classic rock, a little bit of pop, a few public radio stations, and practically the rest of the FM dial is country.
