What albums would you take on a long trip across the country?

[Azogue]

Hmm, I'm gonna be leaving for a week next Wednesday, and I'm gonna be stuck on a bus for about 2 days, maybe

Anyway, I don't want to take a whole bunch of CDs, cause I'll end up listening to less than half of them and some jewel cases will break, etc.

Well, I guess I'm bored, so just post the albums you would personally take on a long trip. I think I'm gonna take the following:

All of Opeth up until MAYH
Porcupine Tree-Stupid Dream, Signify, In Absentia
Ulver-Perdition City
Massive Attack-Mezzanine
Devin Townsend-Terria, AE
Emperor-Anthems
Windir-Likferd
Enslaved-Below the lights
The Mars volta-Deloused in the Comatorium
King Crimson-ITCOCK
Yes-Relayer

Maybe some radiohead and Camel too. I don't think I'd want something really brutal on a bus trip...

so yeah, what would you take?

 

[Funeral Portrait]

CCR - 24 Carat. (A 3 disc set with almost 4 hours of Creedence!)

Every Opeth album. Depending on my mood, theres always something of theirs that I can listen to.

 

[Demonspell]

Agalloch - The Mantle
Opeth - Morningrise, Still Life
Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element
Dark Tranquillity - Skydancer
Nevermore - Politics & Dead Heart
King Crimson - debut, Red, Discipline
Camel - Mirage
Green Carnation - Light Of Day (perfect for a long-ass drive)
Enslaved - Below The Lights
Porcupine Tree - Sky Moves Sideways and onwards...

 

[Beast In Flames]

Every Rotting Christ album I own
Every Necromantia album I own
Agalloch - Pale Folklore
Opeth - Morningrise
Enslaved - Below The Lights
Cradle Of Filth - Lovecraft & Witch Hearts, Damnation And A Day
In The Woods - Omnio
Nightwish - Century Child
Iron Maiden - The X Factor
Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
Tristania - Widow's Weed

 

[Black Dragon]

I took a trip across the continent last summer. I had all of my opeth, maiden, dickinson, pain of salvation, ect with me. I also had my reading zero and madsword CDs.

Now, I would have all opeth, novembre, katatonia, pain of salvation, and swano related material on hand.

 

[EdgeJ]

Can - Tago Mago
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Beatles - s/t
Public Image Ltd - Second Edition
Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
The Stooges - Funhouse
The Beach Boys - Sunflower/Surf's Up
I'd deliberately pick long ones, and intersperse more slow/unconventional with fast/conventional (for some reason, that grouping makes sense to me). I'd probably run out of stuff to listen to, still.

 

[Aecliptica]

some tool, opeth, porcupine tree....

 

[Super Mahrio]

Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady

\m/\m/

Umm..if it were me? Hmmm...
All the Opeth records i own..
Dream Theater-Awake
Pearl Jam-Vs (Best Roadtrip record ever!!!)
Soundgarden-Badmotorfinger and Superunknown (Second and third best roadtrip records ever!!!)
Megadeth-Countdown To Extinction
Helmet-[Insert Any Helmet Record Here]
Metallica-Master Of Puppets (fourth best roadtrip record ever!!!)
and probably some Pink Floyd....

 

[EdgeJ]

oooh, hmmm...
Badmotorfinger.... if only I had the jewel case to that, I think I would add it.

 

[Rottuated]

Death - The Sound of Perseverance
Death - Symbolic
Death - Human
Death - Spiritual Healing
Iced Earth - Alive In Athens
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Opeth - Still Life
Cannibal Corpse - Live Cannibalism
Children of Bodom - Follow The Reaper
Metallica - Master of Puppets
At The Gates - Slaughter of The Soul
Cryptopsy - ...And Then You'll Beg
Nightwish - Wishmaster

All I know is that if I was stuck on a bus for two days, I would want some diversity. I don't know how people can be so much into just one genre. I'd grow sick of it. That said, I'd take:

Thelonious Monk - Monk Plays Ellington
Duke Ellington - Sophisticated Lady
Mamas and the Papas - Best of
---
Opeth - Orchid and Morningrise
Mayhem - A Grand Declaration of War
Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape
Emperor - Prometheus
---
Electric Wizard - Dopethrone
Queens of the Stone Age - Queens of the Stone Age
Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz
---
Led Zeppelin - II, [Untitled] (IV)
Emerson Lake and Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends
The Who - Tommy
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King

There we go. That's a lengthy list though, if I had to narrow it down to like, 10, I'd take out ELP, Led Zeppelin's IV, Queens, Sabbath, Sigh, Mamas and the Papas, and probably Mayhem.

 

[Zrol_the Bunny Lord]

Opeth - Orchid
Jethro Tull - Stormwatch, Heavy Horses
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother, Ummagumma
Godspeed You Black Emperor - F# A# (infinity)
Soundgarden -Down On the Up Side, Super Unknown
Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes
John Coltrane - Afro Blue Impressions, Expression
Bob Dylan - Self Portrait, Blonde On Blonde
Radiohead - O.K Computer
and...
Pearl Jam - No Code

 

[manuelgv]

Samael - PAssage and Eternal
At the Gates - SoTS and TSD

You've got excellent taste. Although I don't like Tull. Never did and probably never will. For some reason they never struck me. =P Although Ian's playing is amazing, and Bouree is one of my favorite all-time songs.

[Beast In Flames]

Testament- Legacy, PWYP, SOB

 

[MetalManCPA]

The short list:

Opeth - BWP, Deliverance, Damnation
The Tea Party - Edges of Twilight
Emerson Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery
Grip Inc - Power of Inner StrengthMeshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve
Enslaved - Below the Lights
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffitti
Dimmu Borgir - PEM
Pearl Jam - Ten
Nevermore - DHIADW
Destruction - All Hell Breaks Loose
Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction

The truth is, with either the Rio Volt (portable CD player with MP3 capability) or my car stereo with the same MP3 capability, I can get 10 or so albums on one CD (10 hours of music). That enables me to bring quite a catalog on a trip, and not take up a lot of space, so in fact, I'd probably take 10 CD's with 100 albums or so, and a CD or two of song mixes.

 

[ucsbdude]

I never go in a roadtrip without U2's The Joshua Tree, perfect roadtrip album.
Besides that I take whatever I'm in the mood for.

 

[FangsFirst]

whatever I'm in the mood for is the best response personally, some ones I recently got, some metal, some lighter stuff...just a nice mix based on my mood.

probably way too many of them as well
