Seven songs for a road trip to anywhere

Going somewhere? Anywhere? Put on these tunes during your aimless getaway.

Anywhere: “Anywhere” from Anywhere (ATP)

“I’m not anywhere.”

Fitting for an East-West blend of acoustic/psych punk that may induce astral projection.

Metallica: “Wherever I May Roam” from Metallica (Elektra)

Roamer. Wanderer. Nomad. Vagabond.

Call me what you will!

Killer Mike: “Anywhere but Here” (f. Emily Panic) from RAP Music (Williams Street)

For getting the F out of town.

The Magnetic Fields: “I’d Go Anywhere with Hugh” from Love at the Bottom of the Sea (Merge)

Taking a road trip with a sad, unrequited love triangle? We have the song for you.

The Replacements: “Anywhere’s Better than Here” from Don’t Tell a Soul (Warner Bros.)

‘Nough said.

Tom Waits: “Anywhere I Lay My Head” from Rain Dogs (Island)

Sensing a theme?

Even if you haven’t set the Thames on fire, here’s one for the loners.

End: “Ruin Anyone Anywhere Anything” from The Sounds of Disaster (Ipecac)

Okay…

This one is a reach. But it’s great for the car.
