We went for a short road trip from Toronto to Vancouver and back last month. Took about 50 CDs. Advice was to take varied stuff.

James Keelaghan, Garnet Rogers and Stephen Fearing seemed to be played the most.

Other stuff included Battlefield Band, Dougie MacLean, Waterson:Carthy, Kings of Calicut, Richard Thompson, Dick Gaughan, Ad Vielle, Malicorne and Tri Yann.

In a different vein was Cocteau Twins, "This Mortal Coil" (same label as Cocteau), Dead Can Dance.

The BBC sessions of Led Zepelin was tolerated by my other half, while the German industrial (Faust) could only be played when I was on my own as was Amon Duul 2

Took some Mahler, Beethoved, Handel but never got around to playing it.

I suppose the stuff played tended to the lively. This list also probably exposes my taste to all and sundry!

Enjoy yor trip!
