What makes a great road trip song? Do you need high energy, or sing-along potential, or themes of freedom, or songs about nostalgia? Kevin and Noah discuss what is essential for a song to be a "Road Trip Ripper" and why they love those songs while cruisin' in their cars. Kevin cruises to songs by Pearl Jam, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Lumineers, Indigo Girls, Bob Marley, and Tom Petty while Noah finds his vibes with tunes from Willie Nelson, ASAP Rocky, Joy Division, Talking Heads, Bruce Springsteen, and Grateful Dead. Kevin and Noah also recognize some of their listeners they call "Trackers" with songs submitted by Tracy Chapman and Alice in Chains.
