I must be a 'solitary driver'. The following albums are always in my car player.

Rush 'Moving Pictures'
Tangerine Dream 'Ricochet'
Simple Minds 'Sons and Fascination'
Jean-Michel Jarre 'Magnetic Fields'
Hatfield & the North 'The Rotters Club'
Steve Reich 'Different Trains'
The Cure 'Disintegration'
Michael Hoenig 'Departure from the Northern Wasteland'
Gilgamesh 'Another Fine Tune'
The Comsat Angels 'Fiction'

And whatever I happen to be immersing myself in - at the moment it's Queensryche and Fates Warning.

It would be safe to say that if my wife and kids were in your car the car stereo would be switched off :grin:
