That’s the fun premise for this list of travel songs from Rock’s Backpages. I was surprised to find almost no overlap with our own top 40 travel songs of all time—and the takeaway from that? There’s certainly no shortage of great road tunes in the world.

Can’t make it to any of our favorite European summer music festivals? Never fear: Matador Nights rounds up the best of the has-been rock bands (plus one has-been boy band) that are on tour this season—and somehow, I don’t think they’ll all be selling out.
