One for the road

[DUVET]

I could just stick this in the music section but I know some of you don't post there that much for whatever reason . So my question is really based on is there a go to album you play for the road late time at night . I tend to go for Floyd or any Waters / Gilmour solo effort . The comfort in knowing an album so well is that even if you nod off you can always join in later .

Gilmour, Echoes, Live at Gdansk. Whenever I have 'Floyd mates' round here, we always seem to finish off with that. It just rounds a serious night off perfectly.

If I were courting it would be this, without a doubt! Check out the lyrics! Hopefully the car would stay in the garage.....

Are you saying that when picking an album to listen to on a late drive home you should pick one you can fall asleep to??

 

[rabski]

I assume Danny means 'one for the road' in the meaning of the last drink/record of the night. Not actually literally

 

[BalooToo]

Now that I live in a flat I have to keep it quiet so whereas it used to be Floyd (which really needs a bit of volume) I nearly always finish with Melody Gardot either Entre eux deux or Sunset in the Blue. A last Blair Athol and a cigarette I'm sorted.

 

[MotherSky]

Doesn't get played as often as it used to, but this has long been my 3AM album of choice: Do Make Say Think (self titled - their first album)



or possibly the first Tortoise album


this would naturally depend on the precise state of one's brain chemistry at the time of selection - a much less variable factor these days....

I can recommend this for clearing out any stragglers when you just want to get to bed - Brainticket Cottonwoodhill

From the Late & great Gary Moore. Last track on the album Dark days in paradise.

 

[lazycat]

This..

 

[Strider]

Bizzarely (kill me now) is often:
Rae Morris 'Unguarded'


Or Kings of Leon 'Because of the times'

For "Last spliff of the day with the cat on your lap" I'd go for
Camel
Capercaillie
Runrig

 

[Fantasque]

Continuing the Pink Floyd theme, this one does it for me..

 

[DomT]

King Crimson Red perfect for the M1 or M25!!

If I was driving through France Spain or Portugal then some Gilmore or literally anything at all as driving in these countries is so much more pleasurable.

Decent music, but IMO some of the guitar sounds are a bit "digital".

 

[savvypaul]

It depends what I've been drinking.

After a few gallons of beer, I'll be supping off to the Macc Lads.

After a bottle of Irish whiskey, I'll be marching to the Boys of The Old Brigade.

After bourbon and a few spliffs, it's gotta be Willie Nelson.

If I have too much of any of the above, I throw up to The Sex Pistols.

I think the reason might be that people just stick threads like this here.

 

[DUVET]

Or you could just say nothing and judging by what you think to be a funny response preferable .

 

[Chumpchops]

either one of my fav wegie bands



or vintage Sam Cooke.

haunting but calming beyond soulful. And great recording to boo. That cello….
