Hey, that's funny! I was singing Aqualung as I wandered through Santa Monica today...because I'm an ass!

Depends on my mood.  I like to play music that resembles how I feel as opposed to using it to get me in a different mood.  Cars are good, but more for background stuff as I am supposed to be concentrating on my driving. 
 
For getting somewhere quick, some metal suits: Pantera, cog, Devin Townsend et al (thou not Tool - I actually drive slower with them as Im always trying to listen to what they are doing, thou Lateralis is a fave in the car)
 
A long drive would consist with a series of Kraut, balanced with those with driving beats (pardon the pun) like can, to popul vox and tangerine dream, to enjoyable pieces like 'tanz der lemmange', all mixed together in a soup.
 
If im not wanting to go to where I am going: post rock is a treat. () gets wide playing in this case, thou I've recently discovered Explosions in the sky.  'the earth is not a cold dead place' is pleasant and not too taxing to the ears (im driving remember), and Im open for anywhere to listen to 'the rescue' ep.
 
Non prog faves (depending on mood) include 'kind of blue' - miles daves; and 'welcome to the big bigot' - severed heads.......    et al.
 
Many other albums are welcome.
 
Enjoy
 
I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long.

As someone said in the thread that was just cut short, my car is my sactuary, as well. That's where I do my primary listening. I do have most of my stuff uploaded to iTunes at work, but how seriously can you listen there? And with a 4 year old tearing around the house, I usually put on a DVD when she goes to bed.

For the car, anything by Marillion sounds great. Neal Morse also gets a steady rotation. Lately, however, I've been playing the new Camel discs I've been getting, plus Pain Of Salvation's The Perfect Element and Remedy Lane.

I second Hawkwind. Ideal driving music. Otherwise I use self-made samplers with songs I think ideal for driving, like "The Last Seven Minutes" by Magma or "Master Builder" by Gong.

Great driving CD"s

1. Passion - Peter Gabriel (AKA music from "the last temptation of christ")
2. Tommy - The Who
3. Roxy & Elsewhere - Zappa
4. Black Noise - FM
5. Self made compilations - King Crimson Best of 69-74, Led Zeppelin Gems, Neil Young Best Of, Various Yes Compilations, Damn I love CD Burners!

I actually don't like to listen to prog rock during most driving trips because if the trip ends before the CD I feel kinda ripped off. LOL

Wishbone Ash's Argus or Sleepwalking by Gerry Rafferty. Why is the latter album not on the archives, because it's pure prog (and quite brilliant)?

One of my favorite albums of all time to put on if I'm driving at night through more rural areas (can't have urban light and noise about) is Traffic's Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Many a nighttime drive through the country have I taken with this as the soundtrack. Awesome.

Sometimes its Hermin's Hermits, but mostly I'll listen to my old cassette of Yes TFTO taped from my old LP. Whenever I go on a long trip I always bring Genesis SEBTP and TOFT.
