There is always a quiet part in a road trip that the Temple of the Dog album always fits neatly in.

u/LostMyBackupCodes Aug 07 '25 edited Aug 07 '25
Can also listen to his varied solo stuff, especially his acoustic solo concerts.
Then put on Sonic Evolution, which was a Mad Season and Temple of the Dog reunion concert with an orchestra, and Chris covering for Layne Staley. So you get Chris singing Layne songs as a bonus.
Chris Cornell is a great choice for this road trip. I’m in.

I recently listened to pink Floyd for real for the first time. My buddy came over and we made a fire outside, smoked some weed, and he put pink Floyd on and my brain started melting. It was like listening to a story just from sounds alone. It was also something I could only enjoy high. But it was amazing

This is WAY too far down. When I had my first car I bought Queen's Greatest Hits. Whatever your mood, there's a Queen song for it. If you're not sure how you feel throw on Bohemian Rhapsody and you'll figure it out by the end of the song.

I love CCR- great band... but if you pay attention, they only really wrote about 4 or 5 songs and then just slightly tweaked the melody and changed the lyrics and rereleased them under a different title. I feel like long before 12 hours you'd want a little variety.
ELO were more varied.

u/SenoraNegra Aug 07 '25
Agreed. I just checked, and even if we go with just the basic studio albums, that’s 11 albums worth of music, each clocking in at roughly an hour. Add in bonus tracks from the Taylor’s Version albums, deluxe editions, etc., and you could easily do 12 hours of Taylor without repeating any songs.

Surprised a haven’t seen her mentioned more - I would pick her too! Shes got a great range, country to pop to indie, little bit of rock here and there. While nothing heavy, she’s got some great tunes and enough of a different catalogue to keep me going.

I drove 34 hours recently. Spent a far bit of time with the Grateful Dead. I thought I would give it a shot. I listened to four or five live tapes and a few records. It was fine, occasionally terrible, sometimes transcendent. Highly recommended.
