I like to burn CDs for the car - this is what Rod Stewart shoulda covered.............

Jackson Browne - Runnin On Empty
Creedence - Proud Mary
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
Bruce Springsteen - Hungry Heart
Eagles - Take It Easy
Journey - Sweet & Simple
Bob Seger - Hollywood Nights
Neil Young - Rockin in the free world
Bryan Adams - Run To You
America - Horse with no name
John Mellencamp - R.O.C.K. in the USA

does anyone make compilations "for the road"?

I do. I'll usually stick all of my favorites from one artist on each disc though.

I did just get an ipod as a gift, still getting used to it, lol

I just use an iPod adapter and plug right into my car.

Over 6,000 songs right at my disposal.

So, SO many weapons to use on friends and family at any time...

That's a good list, but Sweet & Simple doesn't fit in too well. And pssst... Bryan Adams and Neil Young are from Canada.

You can replace those two with China Grove by the Doobie Bros. and Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan.

I liked Stewart's covers of CCR. Won't ever beat the original but a great song to cover.

I don't burn cd's much anymore. I either shuffle all or listen to an album straight through.

Good songs - yeah i know they are Canucks - but then so were Loverboy i think and i liked them too - i lump them all together much like people do when they talk about OZ& NZ or Brit rock.
Almost everyone sings with an american accent - except the proclaimers of course - who are a blast.......

I have an IPOD and my cell phone has a great MP3 player, but....they are nowhere near loud enough! Anyone else got that problem?
Nothing beats vinyl tho!

I did notice that with the ipod, in the car have to turn the ipod up all the way AND the volume on the system up way louder than I have to when playing cd's.
