The coronavirus pandemic may alter your road trip plans a bit, but whether you have an end destination or are just seeing where the road takes you, these six classic rock road trip albums need to accompany you.
Bruce Springsteen – 'Born to Run'
ColumbiaRoll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair! The hauntingly beautiful 'Born to Run' is perfect for not only evoking automobile symbolism but for just the stories it tells, too.
The Rolling Stones – 'Sticky Fingers'

Janis Joplin – 'Pearl'
ColumbiaHitchin’, lovin’ and then some, Joplin’s voice is a welcome addition of any road adventure.
ZZ Top – 'Eliminator'
Warner Bros.This monster album is chock-full of so many memorable hooks that even the pickiest of passengers will be singing along.
U2 – 'The Joshua Tree'
IslandConsidering this is U2’s album about exploring America in all its vastness, it’s clear to see why it made our list.
The Beatles – 'The Beatles'
