Well, a journey can’t start without great travel music. No, not the ‘my favorite song playlist or road-trip music’. That’s too easy. I’m talking about great album titles that talk about traveling, taking ‘trips’, going places.

Tonight we pulled out the best album titles about ‘going somewhere’.
There were many that were just named after places. You know the easy ones, ‘Abbey Road’, ‘London Calling’, Hotel California’, ‘Nebraska’, ‘Californication’,
‘The Joshua Tree’, ‘Highway 61 Revisited’…, ‘Exile on Main Street’, you get the idea.

Well, there are such better titles that encompass the traveling theme in a more unique way. There are many but we knocked out a quick top 10 (in no particular order)-

1. Space Oddity
2. Everyone Knows this is Nowhere
3. Fly Like an Eagle
4. Two Tickets to Paradise
5. Born to Run
6. Maiden Voyage
7. Highway to Hell
8. Jefferson Airplane Takes Off
9. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

… and the classic

10. Wish You Were Here

Got any other titles you would add??

It’s not on vinyl yet, but Fu Manchu “King of the Road” is great and would definitely fit on this list. Another one that has a completely different vibe would be Matt Sharp’s solo album. Again, I am not sure if this was pressed on vinyl, but has Goodbye West Coast and Thoughts From A Slow Train. Maybe Led Zep In Through The Out Door too.
