[ClassicHasClass]

Historically the blue version of the Best of The Art of Noise (all long 12" mixes) and Chris Abbott's Back in Time II were my primary long-drive go-tos. Today's long drive was with the new Q Lazzarus compilation and the soundtrack from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

 

[Certificate of Excellence]

Anything from Yo La Tengo. Or Pictures of you by The Cure or My bloody Valentine are common choices. If I’m feeling Angsty or doomy, Deftones or classic metal like Iron Maiden or Megadeth symphony of Destruction to Tool or Chevelle, Pantera or Helmet is always a good choice to get the blood pumping. If I’m out enjoying my god given 2nd amendment or fishing or camping, 90s country is a great choice ie: George Straight, here for a good time or Alan Jackson Smalltown southern man or into the 2000s with Billy Currington or Brad Paisely, Toby Keith or Trace Adkins & Chris Stapleton and similar are great choices. My wife loves hip hop so sometimes a solid mix of De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Bone thugs, Fugees, Lauren Hill, MosDef, Blackstar etc. pour on the nostalgia. Kinda hard to pin down a single artist or album as I have a couple car playlists on an SD cards haha.

I listen to the Beatles Channel and 60s on 6 a lot on Sirius XM while driving.

As far as an actual album, I find early 90s jazz especially good. The Rippingtons in particular stand out as a band I like to listen to, especially Weekend in Monaco (both the album and the titular track). (Garden of Babylon is also a great song for my running list, which is mostly heavy rock and EDM).
