Drive Time

I will be doing the drive between Canberra and Melbourne a few times over the next month. I have the complete works of Lady Gaga, several Muszikas CDs, Schubert's Winterreise and a few downloads of short stories from the New Yorker site. It's not going to be enough. Can anyone recommend music for road trips? All suggestions gratefully received.

    Ella Fitzgerald singing the Cole Porter songbook. All the Brandenburg Concerti. And my current favourite, a double CD called Nightfever which contains all the greatest disco hits from the 70s and 80s - really good for keeping you pepped up when the eyelids start to droop.

    Worm - Completely new experiences await me (I'm guessing Amy Macdonald is not 'the lovely Amy Macdonald from At Last the 1948 Show'?)
    Sophie - my husband has that Ella Fitzgerald CD. He loves her, but I try to but don't, (I did once go and see her - at the London Palladium, I think ). I wonder if we have the Brandenburgs, will go and look. Nightfever sounds ideal, I like that kind of mindless exhiliration you get listening to v commercial music while whizzing along

    Hey Worm, I've just started listening to This is the Life, thank you so much, I love it. She may not be THE lovely Amy Macdonald, but she is lovely

    You beauty - Mark Colvin was telling me about these the other day and I immediately forgot what they were called. Are you definitely finished in Melbourne? All sorted (up to a point)?

    Polly, am I mad or do you have to pay for all but the current one? And, even with that one, you have to subscribe to a podcast feeder?

    I know you can stream them, but a bit tricky while driving.
