When you've never before had a car with a CD player in it, and you're about to hit the road in a rented SUVehicle because they upgraded you without even asking if you wanted an upgrade, here are 20 CDs you might put in your brand new CD wallet (since your past CD wallets have been coopted, along with many of your CDs, by your children):
Magnetic Fields, i
Bright Eyes, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Nick Drake, Made to Love Magic
Rolling Stones, Let It Bleed
Richard Thompson, rumor and sigh
Sting, Ten Summoner's Tales
James Taylor, Flag
Elliott Smith, [eponymous]
The Strokes, Is This It
Carly Simon, Hotcakes
Radiohead, OK Computer
Me'Shell NdegeOcello, Plantation Lullabies
Joni Mitchell, Shadows and Light
Led Zeppelin, [symbols]
Keren Ann, Not Going Anywhere
Nellie McKay, Get Away From Me
Elton John, Honky Chateau
Bob Dylan, Blonde on Blonde
The Who, Who's Next
Jackson Browne, Late for the Sky
I think the best car/ road trip music is the Clash--anything will do, but I prefer disc one (or in my case, tape one) of Story of the Clash.
