After reading through this, I'm almost tempted to go make a playlist of this for the long drives.

[CaptainCrunch]

Speaking of the Cars, I was looking back and Heartbreak city was such an amazingly strong album.

Side one started with "Hello Again"



Its not the night



Why Can't I have you



Heartbreak city



Drive



If I dig back deep into the 80's.

Berlin - Pleasure Victim

Pleasure Victim, sex (I'm a) Masquerade

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Too much classic rock represented so far. Here are some alternate options.

Amy Winehouse: Back to Black
Back to Black; Love is a Losing Game; Tears Dry on Their Own

Arcade Fire: The Suburbs
the Suburbs; Ready to Start; Modern Man

Bon Iver: Bon Iver
Take your pick of any 3 songs in a row on that album.

Broken Social Scene: You Forgot It In People
KC Accidental; Stars and Sons; Almost Crimes

Green Day: American Idiot
Jesus of Suburbia etc.; Holiday; Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Interpol: Turn on the Bright Lights
Obstacle 1; NYC; PDA

Neko Case: Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
Margaret vs. Pauline; Star Witness; Hold on, Hold on

Radiohead: Ok Computer
Again...doesn't matter. Pick any 3 songs in a row.

Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key of Life

Tom Waits: Blue Valentine
Red Shoes by the Drugstore; Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis; Romeo is Bleeding

TV on the Radio: Dear Science
Love Dog; Shout Me Out; DLZ

The War on Drugs: A Deeper Understanding

[FireGilbert]

I have to add another Led Zeppelin. From II: Heartbreaker, Living Loving Maid, & Ramble On.

A couple more of my favourites are Bad Religion from Suffer: Best For You, Suffer, & Delirium of Disorder and Counting Crows from August and Everything After: Round Here, Omaha, & Mr. Jones.

Also, I just happened to be listening to AFI's Sing The Sorrow when reading the thread and they pull off a pretty good 4 in a row with Bleed Black, Silver and Cold, Dancing Through Sunday, & Girl's Not Grey.

Edit: Forgot about Arcade Fire's Suburbs: The Suburbs, Ready to Start, & Modern Man are great too.

I thought about doing SITKOL but sadly the songs bookending Sir Duke & I Wish aren’t classics, but the album deserves mention here so I can accept cheating on this one.

Live:

Bon Jovi - New Jersey

Lay your hands on me, bad medicine, Born to be my baby.

And because I can, and I love this video, especially the start. When people talk about what my walk out music would be, this would be right up there.
