    RHCP- BSSM
    Grateful Dead- Essen, Germany boot (don't remember exact year, late 70's)

    I've found Tom Petty's Wildflowers album is pretty damn good for summer driving.
    Jam out with your clam out.

    I'm also looking to put together a CD to drive around with of entirely Phish songs. I like the band, but I don't know their catalouge very well, at all. Can anyone name me some good songs that are energetic from start to finish, that are just fun to dance to and jam out to? I don't like the ones that mellow out for long periods of time, but more one with great mind bending Trey solos that stay energetic and capture one's interest the entire song. Get one songs I'm looking for? :)

    I remember back in the day (8-9 years ago) a fraternity brother and I would go out driving around town on the first few days when the weather was nice and listen to Nine Inch Nails "Pretty Hate Machine". Its a fun disc to listen to while just driving around.

    Farmhouse is one album you should definitely pick up for the summer time. It is one of the greatest feeling albums ever. Very beautifuly written. It's not as much of a jam album but its got some great songs.

    ...anything by petty, CCR, and Pearl Jam works out great for me in the summertime.
