“I have spent a lot of time driving on highways. The best drives have been with the people I love,” says Scarborough-born singer-songwriter Steven Page, ex-Barenaked Ladies member. He’s currently with super-group Trans-Canada Highwaymen alongside Moe Berg (The Pursuit of Happiness), Chris Murphy (Sloan) and Craig Northey (Odds). “These songs have kept me awake on solo drives and have entertained/ terrorized my kids on otherwise-dull drives. I guarantee this list will cure boredom on the road. Just keep your eye on your speed, as they’ve been known to cause acceleration.”
