10. Key Bumpz/Cool Piss – Split
Badass tape by a couple of Houston locals. Key Bumpz really bring it when you feel like getting a little scummy.
9. Electric Light Orchestra – Discovery
We are all huge ELO fans. While Discovery definitely isn’t our favorite album, it’s got the jams to get us there.
8. Todd Rundgren – Utopia
Nick Cornetti’s fave. He flipped when he bought this one. Now we just need to get A Wizard A True Star and we’ll be all right!
7. Black Sabbath – Paranoid
Duh.
6. David Bowie – Changes (Greatest Hits)
Found this beauty. All the classics on one tape. All the hits from Space Oddity to China Girl. A real no-brainer.
5. The Kinks – State Of Confusion
By the way, The Kinks released a couple badass 80’s records. WE KNOW, RIGHT?!?!
4. Michael Jackson – Thriller
This seemed to be a real go-to on long drives. Gotta listen to both sides of this classic.
3. Boston – Boston
Wish I could just say “duh” to this one too. If you are building a road tape collection and Boston isn’t sitting in there, you’re fucking up big time!
2. Natural Child – 1971
What can we say, this is an amazing road tape. Chill enough to just put on and leave on; rock n’ roll enough that you don’t fall asleep. Every song on this record is great. I think one day we let it play over and over for a whole eight hour drive.
1. Madonna – Like A Virgin
It seems like every night of this tour was a party and no party is complete without Madonna’s Like A Virgin. Nothing better than a bunch of drunk sweaty dudes chillin’ in a parking lot after a rock n’ roll show with the van doors open jamming Madonna… yeah we know.
