Led Zeppelin "How the West was Won" fits that description.

AC/DC Live is probably my favorite for 45 minutes...

I don't listen to CDs anymore. I have 8+ hours of my favorite music in my MP3 player so why be confined to only one CD

Any Drivin' N' Cryin' fits the bill -- or a live Rush album

For a thousand miles, I would listen to a lot of CDs. But for a cd I can always listen to, it's The Who's Who's Next.

I'm an old fart, so it's going to be big band music from the 30s and 40s and real Dixieland with Eddie Condon's Allstars in the lead. Did I mention I was a old fart?

Death from Above 1979 - You're a Woman I'm a Machine
Tons of energy and awesomely fun to air guitar to riffs

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Shake the Sheets
All good songs, good energy and very well written.

A thousand miles is a LOT of plays for these two discs though. I'll bring the mp3 player with those and more!

Martin Sexton- "The American" great mix of styles

Alman Brothers- Greatest Hits- one of the best "greatest hits" collections I have ever heard.

I have several I can do this with, but the first one that came to mind was Def Leppard's "High n' Dry," from before they went pop. (Not that they were death metal before or anything- they just had a good, earthy hard rock sound)

Queen's "A Kind of Magic" (aka "The Highlander Soundtrack + 1 tune from Iron Eagle") also fits the bill.

I have a bunch of burned CD's but an actual store bought album goes to either Springsteen's Greatest Hits or Born to Run. I could listen to She's the One and Jungleland over and over again and never get tired. I think it has something to do with "They met 'neath the giant Exxon sign that gives this fair city light".

I just checked this out from the library, and it works as you would prescribe!

Lately, its been Los Abandoned's Mix Tape.

I like to rock out to Live - Secret Samadhi- Info Here

I've got Sirius in my car and listen (90% of the time) to Lithium (Channel 24) - Grunge and 90's alternative.

But there's no love ballad lyric like in Springsteen's Thunder Road:
"You aint a beauty, but hey you're alright"

which has to be one of my all-time favorites

Bad Religion, any of their CDs, there are probably enough of them I would never have to listen to the same one

Jungleland is kind of a ballad if you listen to the lyrics.

Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge

Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain

The Rat pulls into town, rolls up his pants

Together they take a stab at romance

And disappear down Flamingo Lane

and then:

Inside the backstreet girls are dancing

To the records that the DJ plays

Lonely-hearted lovers

Struggle in dark corners


My one friend and myself love classic Boss songs because we can relate to them. We've both worked hard for most eveything we have and want to get away from the life we live now but feel like we can't and won't. It actually gets me a little emotional listening to and reading his lyrics.

Speaking of Rush, I keep hearing this one song off that album, but I can't remember what it's called. All I know is that it freakin' rocks! If every other song is this good, I need their new one.

I believe the first single is "Far Cry" -- which you can preview in its entirety at rush.com
