My drive to work has now become 30-45 minutes, which gives me a perfect time slot to broaden my musical horizons.

I'm hoping to compile a long long list that will keep my journeys fresh for months, and ultimately open my ears to new music.

It's too easy to keep listening to exactly the same playlists.

There's only one rule; don't include Cure albums (including compilations

).

Please leave below your favourite albums, old or new, famous or small bands, that you would recommend.

If you like, leave a sentence about why you love them.

Amber & Alex know how to write a great tune & this album is totally packed full of them from start to finish.

Thanks Steve!

I'll add every suggestion to my list.

'Broken Baby is a band for punching the air and driving a little too fast.'

I'll forward my future speeding ticket to you. :-*

I will add one myself for anyone browsing the thread.

The Fauns just realised an album after a 10 year hiatus; I've been listening to their small catalogue for years and they haven't disappointed with their return. Perfect driving music, too.

So far only a single but it's rather good. Best thing from PJ that I've heard in a long time. I managed to get tickets for the second Seattle show. They were rather expensive this tour. The band has adopted the Cure's ticket approach but more expensive. I'm sitting basically in the same area as I sat for the Cure & the tickets were $100 more. they usually put on a good show though. Looking forward to it.

I can tell already this was a good idea for a thread.
