Road trip list

For some fun let's here your top 5 road trip albums. First some ground rules.
1. This list should be somewhat enjoyable by your spouse and children, say age 13 and up.

2. For the sake of this conversation try and keep your list to fairly well known artist.

3. No greatest hits stuff.

My list is as follows;

1. Elton John, Goodby Yellow Brick Road.
2. Beatles, Magical Mystery Tour.
3. Johny Cash, Live from Folsum Prison.
4. Fleetwood Mac, Rumours.
5. Meatloaf, Bat out of Hell.

Many obvious choices but remember the family theme and also known artist thing. None the less all these albums are great no matter how obvious they may be. Let me state that this would not be my solo road trip list.
 
  1. Prince - Sign of the Times
  2. Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul
  3. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
  4. Corrine Baily Rae - Self Titled
  5. Aretha Franklin - Amazing Grace
This was difficult because for road trips I often go to the 'greatest hits' for artists I really like. So my road trips would include: Parliament/Funkadelic, Ohio Players, The O'Jays, The Beatles, Chaka Khan, etc. But I would tend to prefer the greatest hits offerings with them but since you excluded that in your rules I stuck with the typical go to albums that I regularly use.

I'm very aware of your road trip mix! In fact I'm about 14 hours straight familiar with that list.

Based on my last experience with road tripping with significant other and kids rule #1 pretty much excludes anything I would have to offer.
 
Given the whole "family friendly" thing, other than Smile and Leftoverture this is not my personal trip list:

  1. Brian Wilson Presents Smile
  2. Jellyfish - Bellybutton
  3. Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood
  4. Gigolo Aunts - Major Chords and Minor Themes
  5. Kansas - Leftoverture
 
1. John Prine - Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings
2. The Beatles - Rubber Soul
3. Lester Young & Teddy Wilson - Prez and Teddy
4. Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, the Innocent and the E street Shuffle
5 Mark Knopfler & Emmy Lou Harris - All the Road Running
 
Rush - Moving Pictures
Pat Travers Band - Go For What You Know, Live!
John Mayer - Battle Studies
The Who - Quadrophenia
