SUMMER PROJECT: Whole Albums to Travel By

Those rare musical treasures that require no song-to-song cherry picking, no fast forwarding, no selective exclusion from playlists. They are their OWN playlists...each a greatest hits package of brand new material. You know...desert island albums. In the case of 1/48/50, whole urban areas, entire counties, fully one half of any state even, may be traversed on the power of a single inspired album playing all the way through.

So good, in fact, they require no two cents thrown in by the likes of me.  Just listen.  ;-)


"SKYLARKING" - XTC



"HELL FREEZES OVER" - The Eagles
(Essentially a greatest hits album, I know, but great to drive to...
And  truth be told, I prefer almost every one of these live versions to the original)
