One of the more pressing issues when planning a road trip is the music needed for the drive. Fourteen days on the road (where the radio options are likely to be mediocre classic rock[argh], new Country[blah] and Jagger’s Gospel Radio Station) requires a variety that will maintain wakefulness and yet comfort the soul. And, as I am of a certain age, I prefer the conceptual feel of the album over a collection of individual songs – although now that Ms. Swift has made her stance on the issue known, it may be that the ‘album-as-a-unified-whole’ is ripe for re-emergence. (The last album on this list being the exception because, well, it’s George Jones, sheesh) I've given this much thought, and here's what I'll be listening to:
Heart Like a Wheel
Pet Sounds
Guitar Town
Ragged Glory
Lipstick, Lies, and Gasoline
All That You Can’t Leave Behind
Back In Black
Sheer Heart Attack
Close to the Edge
Jagged Little Pill
Led Zeppelin II
Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
Get Closer
Goldberg Variations (GG)
Prisoner in Disguise
Three Pears
5 Days in July
Darkness on the Edge of Town
Hard Bargain
Dwight Sings Buck
Rumours
Humble Pie: Rockin’ the Fillmore
The Essential George Jones
