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."

[Arch Stanton]

Tough choice.

Deep Purple - Made in Japan

or

Enigma - MCMXC a.D.

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

 

[Tusan_Homichi]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

 

[Khartun]

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.
