This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about

So I have a lot of driving to do later this week, hauling me and the ChefBoy to The Gorge and then Vancouver. I love roadtrips, and like any anal-retentive child, my favorite part is planning--specifically, planning what music to bring. I have well-entrenched opinions about what makes good driving music. On my list below, Layla etc. and Making Movies have my votes for the best driving music ever.

Derek & the Dominos: Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs
PJ: Yield, and maybe a mix of the "best of" live songs
Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Green Apple Quickstep: Reloaded
Neil Finn et al.: 7 Worlds Collide
Social D: Live at the Roxy
Grey Eye Glances: If I Was
Dire Straits: Making Movies
U2: All That You Can't Leave Behind
though I wonder if The Joshua Tree is not better driving music
REM: Murmur

And a couple of CDs I've been listening to a lot lately: We're All in This Alone, by the Mendoza Line (yes, I did originally buy their CD because of the band name); and that Amelia album I can never remember the name of.

So! I'm wondering! What music do you require when you go on road trips? Have I committed any glaring omissions?

OMG!!! Someone else who likes (or who actually knows of) Green Apple Quickstep!!

*goes OMG with you* :) ChefBoy got me into them.

Hmm, some Beastie Boys wouldn't hurt.
