Sorry I haven't been replying, but I've been on the road or working for most of the weekend. I haven't had time to listen to any of the music suggested yet and probably won't until tomorrow evening, but I appreciate all of the suggestions and will follow up on them.
Xafgoat, I haven't heard of them but noted and will check it out. Thanks.
ncircle, know the song, but not really what I'm looking for. Thanks. 🙂
Lonyo, small town rural areas I'm traveling in really only have a couple of good radio stations that come in loud and clear. Not much choice when those aren't playing anything good. Thanks though.
electricJ, I'll give it a couple of listens then. 🙂 Thanks.
anxi80, wow, I've got to be able to find at least a few things from that list. I recognize a few of the artists so hopefully they're all of that genre. I'll listen to their samples tomorrow night. Thanks.
azazyel, I've never listened to books on tape or CD before. I just enjoy reading them so much that I figured listening to someone else read them wouldn't be as good. It might be a good way to get one of the books I haven't had time to read done though. Probably could hear a whole book in a couple of trips. I may give it a try. Thanks.
HamSupLo, don't know them, but will give it a listen. Thanks.
Phil, I'm just the opposite, that kind of music keeps me awake. I'm using tapping on the steering wheel or seat dancing while I listen to them. I like some Trance, but sometimes the repetitiveness of it can bore me after a while. I'll try the Mike and the Mechanics suggestion. Thanks.
DarkKnight69, I like George Carlin and have heard a lot of his older stuff. I might try some of the newer, but I think some upbeat music will serve my purposes better for this week. Thanks.
SampSon, don't know much about them except that they're kind of electronic heavy metal? I'll check them out. Thanks.
tami, sounds like the right idea, I'll sample some of their stuff and see what works. Thanks.
ironwing, nice taste in music there. I like Bob Dylan, maybe I'll be more likely to stay awake while I'm trying to figure out what he's saying. 🙂 I have Quadrophenia by The Who on vinyl somewhere. Maybe you're on to something there. I think I'll go through my old albums that I haven't listen to in a long time and find some stuff to download. Right now I'm thinking "Brain Salad Surgery" by Emerson Lake and Palmer among others. I like black gospel music, but don't know enough about the artists to know who to sample. I've heard a lot of Willie's stuff, but except for a few things, he just doesn't do it for me. Thanks for the help.
nakedfrog, that's what I've always thought when it comes to audio books, but I may give one a try. Sure would pass the time if you could read one while driving though. 😛
Byte, hmmm I like some of The Cardigans old stuff so I don't know, but I'll give the one you suggested a try and maybe go back and listen to some of the old stuff I liked. That reminds me to look for some of No Doubt's old stuff. Thanks.
kindest, is that Mos Def you're talking about? I've liked some of the Linkin' Park stuff in the past, I'll give some of their newer stuff a try. The dancing in your chair stuff is definitely what I'm looking for. Thanks.
virtualgames0, that's jazz isn't it? Though I do like some of it, I have a hard time getting into most jazz music. I'll give him a listen though. Thanks.
I hope I haven't missed anyone who was nice enough to help me out. Thanks to all again.
