    Blue Oyster Cult, without a doubt, used to be my favorite. I know it's old, but it is good driving music. :)
    "I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."

    "Born To Run" by Bruce Springsteen is a good one for the road. No better way to start a road trip than with a little "Thunder Road"

    The AC/DC live album is a pretty good one to blast while driving on the interstate. But, I usually prefer compilations that I make myself.

    Edit: pjny, I never meet anybody that has warren g in their cd collection. other than me and my sister, you are the only person that has that cd.....

    Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps.

    One of my best friends dads always tells us the story of how when ever him and his buddys went on a road trip, that they would play this album over and over.

    San Diego to Seattle you say?

    In that case, once you're in LA County, I highly recommend all 6 Eagles albums and maybe some Fleetwood Mac. Their California classic rock sound can't be beat driving on the 101 through areas like Ventura and Santa Barbara.

    Bob Dylan - Blood on the tracks

    this album is like the musical equivalent of On the Road by Jack Kerouac so that should be suitable. The two are inextricably linked for me.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Roger Clyne is fucking amazing great call but I would say Bottle and Fresh horses is better. Not sure what I am going to do on the trip back from st. paul but starting tonight we're rocking out the 17hr roadtrip mix I have on my Ipod (heavy on PJ and Petty of course) can't wait to hit the road

    How about Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" in the day, Pearl Jam's "VS" in the afternoon, and Tool's "AEnima" at night!

    Matthew Good Band - "Underdogs" full of energy, great rock record!
    Matthew Good Band - "Beautiful Midnight" a wonderful journey for a wonderful journey.
    Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon" speaks for itself!
