I tried to do this last night and got disconnected just as I was going to submit.
Compilation tapes made by me and for me are an absolute must, Joni Mitchell, I'm really digging Tom Russell "The Man from God Knows Where" right now, I always have some U2 and REM handy (the way I feel about Michael Stipe is not to be explained. Don't get me started), I keep PPM and Simon and Garfunkel around for comfort, I love to sing along with my darling Jim Croce while driving, some Solas for sure, and I love Soul Coughing too. Excellent for blue sky days when you need to turn the music UP, roll the windows down, and groove.
