I’m leaving in the near future for a 10+ hour road trip with my Wife, Daughter, and my Mother & Father in-law. Here’s what I will be playing in my truck on the way to Walt Disney World and the reasons why:
- Driving With Disney – For the little girl. Well, the songs on this 2-cd set are probably more suited for my wife than my daughter since my wife grew up watching the movies that feature these songs. I am interested to hear Yo-ho yo-ho, a Pirate’s Life for Me, which is on this.
- Weezer’s Red Album – This is a great summer album, which we blasted throughout the summer of 2008. We really like this one.
- Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown – Looking forward to hearing this one, their single was recently released and has a good feel to it. Skimmed through the whole album this week and I think this will be one of their best.
- Morrissey’s Years of Refusal – I have been meaning to check out more Morrissey, as I love “How Soon is Now” and “First of the Gang to Die”. He’s got to have some more great songs. This album is his most recent.
- The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - Can you believe I’ve never listened to this one? I figured I’d give it a listen since it topped the Rolling Stone’s top 500 albums of all time. I’m not a huge beatles fan by any stretch, but I’m anything this groundbreaking has to be worth a listen.
- The Smiths’ Sound of the Smiths – More Morrissey, but this is a collection of his greatest hits while he was with the Smiths. I’m sure many of these songs will be new to me.
- Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited – This one also ranked very high on Rolling Stone’s top 500 of all time. Not a huge Dylan fan either, but wanted to check this out.
- Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds – #2 on top 500 of all time, plus wife & her parents like them. I really only like “Don’t Worry Baby” but who knows, there may be more that I like on this one.
- The Clash’s London Calling – Don’t really know anything about this group, but they ranked high on top 500. This is kind of my oddball pick based solely on that Rolling Stone list.
Any comments on my playlist? Which new album do you think we will like the most? Comment below
