Skynyrd. No kidding, only good for long tired drives. Also, just listen to the country music on the radio.

I had some MP3s on my laptop when I was in NY with my cousin. Played "Addicted to Bass" so much my cousin is now thinking about buying the CD. hah! She also liked Cold As Ice.

I was passenger a couple of days across South Australia. Surprise CDs that 'worked' in that context were Plone (the "For Beginer Piano" -I think that's the title - one), Add N to X's "Avant Hard" and that Air one that came after Moon Safari (the compilation of singles). Eno's "On Land" is good for twilight/early evenings...

Comedy tapes.... Andrew Dice Clay, Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy. Try to tune into a multicultural radio station and get cantonese/mandarin sessions...either there'll be awesome hong kong dream-pop or hilarious clucking banter where the dudes may try to freestyle... Also I love stopping at gas stations, buying some weird compilation tape, listening to it, and, whether I enjoyed the tape or not, chucking it out the window later on....makes me feel wealthy (I am).

Saint Etienne are ace for watching street lights pass in the dark, especially the early stuff.

You want bangin' techno/hardcore/rave/industrial for this trip. One of the best car rides I've ever been on involved my father and me driving from the Twin Cities to Chicago with the following soundtrack:

_Speed Limit 140+ BPM, Vol. 2_
_XL Recordings Chapter 3_
_Experience_ - The Prodigy
_Bad Mood Guy_ - Severed Heads
_Showtime_ - Nitzer Ebb
_Disintegration_ - The Cure
_Tour Of East Asia_ - Harvard Glee Club

Admittedly, those last two CDs are not techno/hardcore/rave/industrial.

You should bring one of those Morricone compilations-appropriate for the city, the grainbelt, the high desert, the Continental Divide, you name it.
