Yes, books on tape (CD) can be great for a long trip.
Many are free at the library

i recently put together the playlist for the 200-mile bike ride I just did. all of the songs listed above helped me keep the legs moving for 12.5 hours.
In reply to mtn:
You're right about the urban areas. I just channel surfed til I found an acceptable station. There's a lot of open area on his trip, especially at the beginning.
This thread is relevant to my interests. I have to drive from Alabama to Oklahoma here in a week or two in my old Datsun pickup. I need something else to listen to beside wind noise and rocker arms.
+3 for books on tape, music gets old after a while.
Radar Love-Golden Earring
Heaven by the Dashboard Lights- Meatloaf
Most any breakdowns by Flatt & Scruggs
Hastings 1066 - Thy Majestie

The version on Alchemy-Live is amazing.
I like to jam to Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do".
The LP version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is always fun too.
BB King and Eric Clapton did a cover of the Sam & Dave classic "Hold on, I'm Coming"...the guitar jam finish is mind blowing.
Well wouldn't you know. Since I refuse to get an iPod, and instead have a Sony Walkman (yes the mp3 player) no where in my area sells a FM transmitter. Order one off Amazon or go with CD's? Hmmm, oooh one day shipping!
Faith No More - Epic
