Acoustic Aeroplane Songs

Posted Tue Nov 25, 2008 5:37pm PST by Robert of the Radish in The Y! Music Playlist Blog

For this playlist I selected only quality acoustic-based songs about aircraft, known as an airplane in North American English, or an aeroplane in Commonwealth English. The list includes 12 tracks from a diverse group of artists including John Denver, Rusted Root, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Indigo Girls, The Highwaymen, The Irish Rovers and more. There is just something about the natural sound of acoustic instruments that lends itself well to flight.

What do you load on your music player when you fly?
