I dream of doing the TD one day and was thinking to myself what one album would be fitting for the journey.  So I thought
I'd ask others what they would listen to.

I have plenty of artists I like, but for the TD it would have to be The album Beyond by Dinosaur Junior

Tell me yours!

I think Tea for the Tillerman and or the soundtrack to Harold and Maude by Cat Stevens would be perfect -

Miles from nowhere
I guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there

Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there.


I'd also consider something like Heartless Bastards, All This Time, as the first song, Into the Open, is perfect:

And I find myself
Here in the meadow
Of a great divide
And in the moment

Things are coming into focus
Things are coming into focus
I've got wind in my face
And it's getting me on
I've got wind in my face
And it's getting me on, on

All of this time I was searching
Searching for my home
And I discovered
Home is where I am


Either that or something like Daft Punk's Homework, or the Tour de France Soundtracks by Kraftwerk.

Made a little mix last year of some of my favorite songs for GDMBR riding

Dark Side of the Moon would probably do it for me.

I listened to Bob Seger a lot.. is that bad?! Fire Inside, Roll Away, Against the Wind.. seemed fitting. I even sang along sometimes.

Columbia Country Classics.  Volume 1 The Golden Age.

It has "Back in the Saddle Again" by Gene Autry
"Pistol Packin' Mama"  by Al Dexter and his Troopers
and don't forget...
"I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart" by Patsy Montana, in which she does some amazing yodeling and mentions the Great Divide!

I know it is a compilation and so may not fit the album requirement, however it has some great riding music.  Some people (such as my husband) might ride faster just so they could stop listening to it.  Wink

Are two disc/record/cassette sets cheating? If not, my "one" album would be The Beastie Boys Anthology... close runner-up would be One From the Vault from the Grateful Dead.

Argh only one?

I think I would have to toss a coin to decide between:

Sigur Ros - (_)

Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift your skinny fists...

or

NIN - The Downward Spiral  headbang


In reality I would take my little Sandisc 8Gb with the 32Gb microSD card....full of tunes and audio books  thumbsup
