Meaning it's not like your friend hanging out or anything. We're about to pull onto the highway and don't time for any bullshit. Plus of course the best percentage of good songs. And not too boring. I'd say Led Zeppelin but that's kind of a boring choice albeit really good.

The Police Reggatta De Blanc, it starts out with a crowd favorite then the album progresses into somber and contemplative vibes, perfect travel music.

Oh sorry, well also you can't say albums. Unless maybe like The White Album or something. Some random guy you don't know just asked you as we're about to pull into traffic. So you've got about 3 or 4 syllables to spare and they better not be hard to spell or understand. So would you just go with The Police? Thats a pretty funny name at least to suggest with an Uber driver.
Like I'd be cautious about even asking for Slint or Bastro although maybe I should try it but I wouldnt be surprised if they immediately ask "Bastro?" or something like that. The Police; Butthole Surfers, etc there's no mistaking it.

I think I would go with The Police, they have plenty of great uptempo and downtempo tracks that I think makes for great driving music. I would also go with The Eagles, I think the vibe I'd go with is very nonabrasive across the board.

It happened for the very first time tonight and thats exactly what I said to him. We did pretty well. Started off with Mexican Caravan then Hey so I really got a kick out of that one. And then it got very educational for me. I never knew they had a soundtrack exclusive song to the 1996 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet called I Had A Dream. So that kinda sucked but it was at least very educational. Then we got Human Cannonball so I was pretty excited about that. Then the ride ended into about the first minute of Pepper. Which was what the driver first predicted we were gonna get so we had a laugh about that.

Especially since my driver used Spotify and I assume most of them do, and this band finally got added...

And I think it should be fine even if it gets spelled as 3 words it'll still come up. Still trying to figure out what's going on with their album Mama though. It's coming up for me but not in their list. I'm habing to access it through a song that was on an old playlist of mine.

Speaking of which, I think a lot of albums should be fine. Like if I just said the album Trout Mask Replica. Maybe thats not the best example but the key point for me being that its easy for them to understand and that there's really no mistaking it. Because another actually very common one for me is a pedicab. So we're outside downtown etc. There's very little time or room for bullshit.
