Pioneer Releases Poll Results for America's Favorite Road-Trip Songs
Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. released the results of its first-ever “Favorite Road Trips Songs” poll, conducted in partnership with Harris Interactive. The survey asked nearly 3,000 Americans, “what are your favorite road trip songs of all time?” Here are the results:
- “On the Road Again,” Willie Nelson
- “Born to be Wild,” Steppenwolf
- “Take it Easy,” The Eagles
- “I Get Around,” The Beach Boys
- “Highway to Hell,” AC/DC
- “Free Falling,” Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
- “Riders on the Storm,” The Doors
- “I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night,” Kiss
- “Wanted: Dead or Alive,” Bon Jovi
- “Free Bird,” Lynyrd Skynyrd
While “On the Road Again” took top billing overall, respondents from the northeast as well as male respondents across the nation favored the second runner up in the poll, “Born to Be Wild.” Those between the ages of 18 and 34 and those who identified themselves as single and never married listed “Highway to Hell” as their top pick. Additionally, respondents in that demographic highly favored several songs made popular in the late ’80s and ’90s that didn’t make the overall top 10 list, including “Paradise City,” by Guns ‘N Roses and 2Pac’s “California Love.”
