Doesn't this depend on the kind of driving at hand?
For example:
Route 80 W, Summer, Western Nebraska sunset, nursing a broken heart, just off chicken fried steak at a diner where the waitress called you honey, California not that far down the road, and love is seeming possible again. Cowboy Junkies, "The Caution Horses."
On the other hand:
Route 40 E, Winter, Oklahoma mud, long past midnight, the day's seen all of Arizona and New Mexico, caffine, nicotine, sugar, and whatever other stimulants you've got have long ceased to have meaning, and you're due in New York by dinner for an awkward family occasion. There can only be one disc: Speedball, "Do Unto Others, Then Split."
As may be evident, I've had a few miles to ponder this. Nice thread.
Keep the shiny side up,
