The Rolling Stones albums:
Exile on Main St.
Sticky Fingers

IF they're driving endlessly through urban landscapes at night, Brian Eno, My Bloody Valentine work out flawlessly. Marquee Moon is really great too.

I know you're road trip was over long ago, but here's a tweaked mix of the previous list that I found people liked better; even my girlfriend liked it, and she listens to mostly acoustic singer-songwriter type stuff...
1. Roadrunner- Modern Lovers
2. Lust for Life- Iggy Pop
3. Blitzkrieg Bop- Ramones
4. One Way Or Another- Blondie
5. Three Girl Rhumba- Wire
6. Should I Stay Or Should I Go?- Clash
7. The Passenger- Iggy Pop
8. Walk On the Wild Side- Lou Reed
9. Ticket to Ride- Beatles
10. Drive My Car- Beatles
11. Sweet Jane- Velvet Underground
12. Rock and Roll- Velvet Underground
13. Radio Free Europe- REM
14. Temptation- New Order
15. Debaser- Pixies
16. Barely Legal- Strokes
17. Fool's Gold- Stone Roses

I'm kind of obsessed with making mixes for the road that meet my tastes with others, b/c then I can lure them into putting in something that they normally wouldn't (e.g. a full Wire album) because they think my mix was pretty good.

I actually just made a road trip mix, to reconcile my tastes and everyone elses in the cars, trying to put on songs that most people recognized mixed with some other accessible stuff that they probably didn't. It included, in order...
1. Modern Lovers- Roadrunner
2. Ramones- Blitzkrieg Bop
3. Iggy Pop- Lust for Life
4. Blondie- One Way or Another
5.Wire- Three Girl Rhumba
6. Clash- Should I Stay or Should I go
7. Pixies- U mass
8. Gang of Four- Natural's Not In It
9. The B-52s- Lava
10. Talking Heads- Once in a Lifetime
11. Minutemen- Glory of Man

Oh yeah, and everyone said they liked it

Super brilliant! thanks to yall 😁
Personally i found chrominance decoder in its entirety, spot on spot on. but could not find the other for the life of me. Badfaith, in the words of bob dylan, "That ear — I mean, Jesus, he's got to will that to the Smithsonian.".
the rest came after they already left. but im sure it will come in handy for future referance. 😉
Again it all turned out great. Thanks a million.

That's perfectly fine. It doesnt need to be from the 80's. Heck, it could be from 1917. looking good so far, thanks a bunch.

I'm afraid when it comes to 80s I'ma slave to pop. Could only suggest things like Then jerico's Big Area and the like... and nobody wants to see that!

I think they would enjoy the entirety of Nail by Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel. It's definitely aimed at girls and is from the mid 80s.

Hey folks, my sisters are going on a road next week and want me to make them some cds for them. so i was hoping i could get some help suggestions. i remember how awesome yall were with suggestions in the past. If perhaps you have a playlist or whatnot you've enjoyed on the road. Or perhaps a fellow ladies perspective. Anyway they their births range roughly from mod 70's to mid 80's, to give you an idea of their age.
Thanks for the help ahead of time.
