Albums good from start to end

[Imzadi]

I prefer Greatest Hits albums. As then there isn't a dud in the whole album - assuming you like the band. Mine would include:

The Beatles
Queen
Fleetwood Mac
Elton John
Michael Jackson
Styx
Linda Ronstadt Vol 1 & 2 (all her songs were covers.)
Donna Summer
David Bowie up to & including Let's Dance
Madonna's Like a Virgin
Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual
Tina Turner

Somone will recommend Pink Floyd, but I'm assuming you'd like to stay awake during your drive.

Oh, c'mon, if we're talking great albums, we have to include "The Dark Side of the Moon"! Driving safety be damned!

Some of my favorites have been mentioned but I like Who's Next Purple Rain or Saturday Night Fever.

 

[kyton]

Oh I forgot one of the all time best albums - “Back in Black” AC/DC.

 

[lastbestplace]

Graceland - Paul Simon
Southeastern - Jason Isbell
Southern Rock Opera - Driveby Truckers

 

[ShaneDJ]

Hysteria - Def Leppard

 

[Christine]

Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
And not really an album but it can be made into one on Spotify - Taylor Swift The Eras Tour

Second MeatLoaf Bat Out of Hell
Would also have to include Billy Joel Greatest Hits Vol 1&2
Soundtrack to Les Mis.

Greatest Hits albums seem like cheating

Greatest Hits albums seem like cheating

They are a little bit!

 

[soccerdad72]

Talking Heads, "Remain in Light"
The Cure, "Head on the Door"
The Police, everything before "Synchronicity" which was just OK
That said, I'll offer an alternate; audio books. A single audio book will probably be longer than your drive and they are easy and free to get. Just go to Libby and put in your library card No. then pick one off the list. It plays through the app. Easy.

I often do audiobooks or podcasts, but my son’s car isn’t conducive to listening to speaking - he has a “hot hatchback” that’s a bit on the loud side. Stereo system is pretty good (and the added subwoofer brings the base ), but spoken word wouldn’t be very clear.

 

[Cadiewampus]

Boston
Jim Croce Photographs and Memories
Dan Fogleberg Innocent Age

 

[DL1WDW2]

If you want Disney music…try to find
disneys On the Record with the talent of Ashley Brown premiering in this staged performance musical.
I always have this and the soundtrack to the Candlelight Processional even if it’s a summer road-trip!
I should probably add the BLAST from WDW and DCA music too!
I know it is sold as a DVD but not sure about CD availability.

Probably would add WICKED too

Boston
Jim Croce Photographs and Memories

I think I could play Boston and Kansas on a shuffle loop for several hours with no trouble at all.

 

[OhDannyBoy]

The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails
The Fragile - Nine Inch nails
Lateralus - Tool
Live Unplugged - Nirvana
Live Unplugged - Alice In Chains
Kill Em All - Metallica
Live At Folsom Prison - Johnny Cash

 

[kathy884]

For me, the two that come to mind for me have already been mentioned (one already on your list OP and the other mentioned by someone else.)

Abbey Road (Beatles - lots of George Harrison stuff -- I like his writing best of those in that group)
Rumors -- Fleetwood Mac -- Practically every song on that album was a hit.

Los Lonely Boys

I've got a feeling you and I share love of the same type of music and bands.

Why didn't you say so? In that case you are looking for something more on the bass side.
The Heavy, "House that Dirt Built"
Nine Inch Nails, "Pretty Hate Machine"
Beastie Boys, "Paul's Boutique"
Eminem, "Marshal Mathers LP"
