Cross Country Trip With Only One CD

[Hostile]

Steven Wright used to tell a joke about traveling cross country with a friend and only having one tape for the entire trip.

He then puts he hand to his forehead and rubs his temples and says, "I can't remember what it was."


So, you're in a car traveling across the United States. The antenna is broken so CD is it and you only have one.

It can't be a greatest hits CD. What do you listen to clear across the country?







I gotta think mine would be Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon."

thank god we now live in the pandora/iheartradio age so no one has to go through this again

BORN TO RUN - Bruce Springsteen[/URL][URL="http://s1.radio.ge/Music/Bruce%20Springsteen/1975_Born_To_Run/cd_front.jpg"]http://s1.radio.ge/Music/Bruce%20Springsteen/1975_Born_To_Run/cd_front.jpg (http://s1.radio.ge/Music/Bruce%20Springsteen/1975_Born_To_Run/cd_front.jpg)

[Arch Stanton]

Tough choice.

Deep Purple - Made in Japan

or

Enigma - MCMXC a.D.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

B.I.G. Ready to Die.

[danielofthesaints]

Windows down, in a classic corvette, on I80, jamming the immigrant song. LZ all the way.

[Lonestar94]

Jd crowe & the new south - My home aint in the hall of fame

[Afigueroa22]

Nas- Illmatic

[Heisenberg]

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

[masomenos]

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis

Alternatively: The Goat Rodeo Sessions by Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, et al.

I think anything with words would get old really quickly and anything too powerful would be overwhelming for such a long period of time.

Sweet. I don't listen to music while I'm in my C5 with the targa top off (mostly because I can't hear it due to the wind noise lol), but I'd go for "Disconnect from Desire" by School of Seven Bells, or "The Iron Flag" by the Wu-Tang Clan.

[big dog cowboy]

Metallica - Black

[The Ominous]

Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers

[Phoenix]

Ha, I kind of did this not long ago, driving from Dallas to DC during my move. And I did listen to one CD pretty much the entire trip. Joshua Bell - Voice of the Violin.

[BrAinPaiNt]

It could not be something slow or mellow for me. I have a hard enough time on long trips so anything that is slow, mellow or soothing would make me even sleepier than I already get on long trips.

With that in mind it would have to be something fast paced...maybe some old school thrash like Metallica's Ride the lightning or Kill them all...or maybe Megadeth Peace sells or Rust in peace.

[Duane]

I love Live Monsters by Big Head Todd & The Monsters for road trips.

[TheCount]

I'd rather roll the window down and listen to the wind and my engine than listen to one CD for hours on hours. :laugh2:

If I had to pick, it'd have to be something instrumental with little to no lyrics. Maybe Invincible by Two Steps From Hell - They make all the epic music you hear in movie trailers.

[AmarilloCowboyFan]

Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power.

If you like that kind of thing...look into the works of Basil Poledouris.

I liked the Conan Soundtrack but he also did the soundtracks for Hunt for Red October, Red Dawn, Lonesome Dove, Quigley Down under and a number of other movies.

[CashMan]

Anything by Milli Vanilli

Anything by Milli Vanilli

If someone drove by you while you are blaring that, would you lip sync to the artists that lip synced just to confuse the person driving by you?

I know which one for you.

Might come in hand if I get road rage and need to throw something at someone. :laugh2:

To this day my Mom still does not know what happened to that 8-track tape and I don't plan on telling her any time soon. :laugh2:

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Led Zeppelin III

[daschoo]

U2 - Achtung Baby

Would have gone with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers if allowed, was listening to that on my mp3 on a train through the desert in India and it was ideal travelling music.

[03EBZ06]

Pink Floyd "We you were here"

However....There are softwares that can record over 100 songs on a CD, so I would make my own CD with 100+ songs for a trip :)

[Meat-O-Rama]

Right now it would be Wasting Light by the Foo Fighters. I cannot get enough of listening to this one. I'm constantly playing it in the car or around the house.

[trickblue]

Any of these would suffice...

Boston: Boston
AC/DC: Back in Black
George Strait: Pure Country
Frank Sinatra: Songs for Swingin' Lovers

If I have to chose one... Boston...

[Chinfu]

Lamb of God - Laid to Rest

[Aikmaniac]

Metallica's Black album was already mentioned.

I'll say Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet.

[jimnabby]

Hmm. Today, I'll pick:

Mission of Burma: Vs.

Great album, tons of energy (good for driving), and the CD has several bonus tracks that are actually good.

Ask me tomorrow, I'll pick something else.

[ninja]

1) Beatles - White Album
2) Beatles - Sgt Pepper
3) Who - Who's Next

[iceberg]

what's a CD?

[Rynie]

Nas- Illmatic

Big up! :bow:

I was going to say Illmatic, or Mobb Deep "the Infamous".

[Seven]

No offense, but I'd listen to the wind blasting thru a cracked window as I drove before I would listen to something over and over and over................I would go insane....er.

[Meat-O-Rama]

3) Who - Who's Next

A fine choice for the road, and one I have fond memories of listening to with my pops when we'd go fishing or other road trips.

[MichaelWinicki]

I get that one.

Lord help me if something happens to satellite radio.

You stole my thunder with DSOTM but ive still got two great choices....
Zep......Physical Grafitti...lotsa varied material from wanton song to kashmir to in the light...plus you get 2 cds worth

Beatles....Abbey Road
Classic album with nary a weak track.

[1fisher]

Third Day - Move

[FloridaRob]

Gaither Vocal Band with David Phelps, Guy Penrod and Marshall Hall....

[Hostile]

Classic album with nary a weak track.I am a big Pink Floyd fan. I was going to say The Wall, but that would be cheating and I didn't want to have to pick one of the CDs over the other.

[numnuts23]

Gonna get railed for this: Matchbox 20 - Yourself or Someone Like You. :cool:

[jnday]

I would have to go with Lynyrd Skynrd's greatest hits or Kid Rock Cocky CD.

[Cajuncowboy]

Probably Petra's Wake Up Call- Midnight Oil is fantastic.

Other than that it would be something by CCR or Skynyrd.

[trickblue]

The rule is no greatest hits...

With that, you get stuck with Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack... remastered...

[cowboy_ron]

Led Zepplin...Houses Of The Holy

[The30YardSlant]

"Hotel California" - Eagles

[Cajuncowboy]

"Hotel California" - Eagles

That was a great album as well. If this were a top 5 thread it would have been in my top 5 easy.

[Faerluna]

Jennifer Haase - No More Invitations

[Idgit]

This was not a want to, but I once drove across I-80 with....ABBA Gold...as our only CD. Got in a huge fight with the wife in Nebraska when she dozed off and woke up just as I was trying to throw it out the window. I was singing "Fernando" for weeks. It was hell.

I've got a lot of hatred toward you at this moment. I've got Fernando coursing through my brain and will be lucky to rid myself of it for days. Thanks!

[MetalHead]

The Melvins-Lysol

[Idgit]

I've got a lot of hatred toward you at this moment. I've got Fernando coursing through my brain and will be lucky to rid myself of it for days. Thanks!

If it's any consolation, I'm doing it now, too.

There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando


For those of you unable to understand the pain, here you go. I dare you to click the link and listen all the way through. Just hear those drums!

[BrAinPaiNt]

I think I have changed my mind.

Since we have been getting so many stories of a topic in the news of late I am changing mine to...

Cannibal Corpse - Vile

[Sarge]

Exile on Main Street - Stones

[Faerluna]

Waking up in Nebraska is reason enough! I grew up there, so that is first-hand fact. :D

Good choice.

[MetalHead]

The Cure - Disintegration

I have ABBA in my Pandora list but Fernando is the only song of theirs that I have given the thumbs down to.

[The Ominous]

Actually I retract my statement. Jedi Mind Tricks - Violent By Design...it is flawless. Can't believe I didn't think of it at first.

[jnday]

meatloaf

bat ouf of hell

I wouldn't mind that one at all.
