It's a 12-Hour Road Trip, and You Can Only Listen to One Singer . . . Who Are You Listening To?
One of the keys to a great road trip is a KILLER PLAYLIST . . . and for some folks, that might be just be going through Weird Al's discography from start to finish. (???)
Someone went on social media and asked, "You're on a 12-hour road trip, and can only listen to ONE singer, who are you listening to?" And here were some of the most popular responses . . .
1. David Bowie. "You won't run out of songs, that's for sure."
2. Paul McCartney. Speaking of not running out of material, this is about a SINGER, so with Paul you'd get a big chunk of The Beatles, plus Wings.
3. Chris Cornell. You could go through Soundgarden and Audioslave.
4. Pink Floyd. David Gilmour has some solo work you could add to the mix.
5. Tom Petty.
6. Johnny Cash.
7. Paul Simon.
8. Led Zeppelin. That's Robert Plant. You could add some Alison Krauss?
9. Prince.
10. Queen. That's Freddie Mercury.
11. Radiohead. That's Thom Yorke.
12. Ozzy Osbourne. "All Aboard! Ha, ha, ha . . . ay . . . ay . . . ay . . ." (???)
13. Pearl Jam. That's Eddie Vedder. Although for a very specific voice like Eddie, 12 hours might be a lot . . . even if you're into the later stuff.
14. Taylor Swift. On the flipside, Taylor offers some vocal variety.
15. Beck. And Beck offers plenty of musical variety . . . similar to those old-schoolers from the '60s, '70s, and '80s who were in multiple bands.
16. Michael Jackson.
17. Coheed and Cambria.
18. Beyoncé.
19. Dave Matthews.
20. Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes)
21. Drake.
22. Morgan Wallen. Does he have enough material for 12 hours?
23. "Weird Al" Yankovic. A lot of people did mention him, actually.
24. One person said, "Depends . . . do I like the people I'm with? If I don't, then Barry Manilow."
25. This must be a joke: Quote, "I was driving to San Francisco from Las Vegas with my cousin. There and back, about nine hours each way, with one CD . . .
"Well, she thought it was a CD. It was a single. One song. Nickelback, 'How You Remind Me'. When we realized it was only a single, we went for it!! That's all we listened to the entire time, both ways . . .
"Now I have a strange reaction to it when it comes on somewhere." (???)
