Jonathon Goldman. His songs are all long and hypnotic and good for immersion in an overwhelming ambiance that shuts out the real world and lets your mind focus. I have often worked entire shifts listening to one or two of his hour-long songs.

Here's an example:

The album "Trance Tara" from 1991.

It has only 2 songs: "Tantric Tara" and "Dreamtime Tara" which is the purely instrumental version of "Tantric Tara". Each song is about 26 minutes long, so the album is about 52 minutes long.

It is purely hypnotic and I've gotten my wife hooked on it to help her sleep or do yoga.

I used to work in a lab from 4AM to Noon and listen to this these two hour-long songs on my phone with earbuds.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I don't know, whatever suits my fancy at that moment: Beatles, Capt. Beefheart, Tangerine Dream, Prince, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Queen, XTC, Yes, Cheap Trick, Fishbone, Big Country, Genesis, King Crimson, Mike Oldfield, Moody Blues, maybe The Monkees, I don't think I have enough of The Police to run 10 hours, The Orb, Paul Revere & The Raiders, Todd Rundgren, Super Furry Animals, possibly a few others I have to pick from.
Although, I would probably prefer to listen to a huge compilation I've been putting together that, so far, runs just over 30 hours.
Come to think of it, even though I have enough Tangerine Dream to run at least 30 days, they might not be the best music to drive to.
Also, chances are, I wouldn't listen to anything because, as I've found out years ago, being a drummer, listening to music while driving might make me use the gas pedal as a bass drum pedal and, before you know it, I'm going 80 mph!! So, I prefer NOT to listen to music while driving for safety reasons.

I don’t even know at this point… I will say though, when I was in California last fall, listening to Fred Again.. was an experience.

This song, NorCal… in and around the Bay Area, and down near Big Sur… the marine layer blowing in and clouding everything, driving around… huge vibe.

This is a great question. I think I would say Neil Diamond. I know it's a weird choice but ha has a mountain of material and plenty of sing along songs to keep me awaje.

Walt832 · Answer

Maaaaan I rather drive silent just hear the wind and look everything around to appreciate what the 🌎 world gives. Usually, no one stops says thank you. Instead we all rush to our responsibilities. We have enough radio, music playing, honks, bells, sirens, talking, tv, drama in the city. So taking a road trip away from that. Is just a relief.
