I was just sitting here thinking about a 1500 mile drive I have to make, and contemplating burning a couple CDS for the drive. I found some music that would make it more interesting but not enough. So here is the question.

If you were going to drive from Phoenix to Indy, you were in a sports car, what music would you want to have on your cd?

I have the entire Brecker Brothers collection on MP3, including solo albums by Randy and Michael brecker. It covers all my moods, runs for about 12 hours and with my MP3 player set for "shuffle", just bever know what's gonna play next. But hey, that's just me, I don't care for rock music any more.

Forget CDs. Get a satellite radio.

The new Sheriff in town.

[tortoise]

That is an exceptionally tasteful list.

If you're into Christian Rock 80's style at all, Petra Means Rock and the Steve Taylor boxed set can't be beat.

Nice set of road songs. May I add Taj Mahal - "Six days on the Road"?
