Got a 3 hour commute roundtrip for my new job and I need some of you Dramanauts to recc some music to me. I don't want to put on the same 2-hour album every which way and I'll easily get bored of listening to Miles Davis' 70's music about three hours a day. I'm looking for more longer albums but short albums are fine to recc.
I could and have used RYM before but a lot of those ilk are either 1) pseuds, 2) r-slurred (socially or mentally), or 3) Twitter users. Most of the stuff there is good but they're about as radlib/milquetoast as you get.
Here's some recs, other than the jazz ones I've given before
Guitar Blues, Folk, and Country
Leo Kottke - Dreams and All That Stuff
Junior Kimbrough - Most Things Haven't Worked Out
Muddy Waters - Electric Mud (Pete Cosey, Miles' best 70's guitarist behind John Mclaughlin, is on this)

My commute is an hour, so I know the feeling. My mix is mostly rock -- nothing overly heavy, sometimes a bit on the 'high pitched weaker side', but not quite to emo.
These are the songs in my current 'Listen Again' playlist. I can't link it because it's using my real name.
Normandie - Holy Water
Too Close to Touch - Leave You Lonely
Picturesque - Hopeless
Nerv - Color//Feeling
Dayseeker - Homesick
Outsider Heart - High (Wasted On You)
I Prevail - Fake
Titans in Time - Prey
Young Medicine - Winter Soldier
Savage Hands - Blue
Awaken I Am - By Your Side
Archetypes Collide - My Own Device
Glass Hands - Bouquet
Silent Theory - Agony
Outsider Heart - IDKU

I've been listening to Cibo Matto for about seven years. Love Soul Coughing and Meat Beat Manifesto, never listened to Klaxons or King Missile despite hearing of them (for "Doubly Fricked By Two Black Studs" for the latter). Curve seems to be very similar to A.R. Kane so I'll be putting Doppelganger on when I go tomorrow

Curve's later stuff is all great too but the old stuff is what I got into first so that's what I tell ppl to get into first

Listen to A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window by Cardiacs (similar-ish-ish to XTC maybe) and Üdü Ẁüdü or Retrospektïw by Magma (Carl Orff meets Weather Report). Also At The Mountains of Madness by Electric Masada (hardcore Jewish jazz fusion). None of these albums are particularly obscure so I assume you've heard of them but they're all really heckin' good I promise

That's why you listen to genreshit or popsci/pophist audiobooks since they're not reading if you read them physically anyway.

Given your likes I think Krautrock and progressive electronic would be up your alley. And I'm sure you've heard some/plenty already, but if not: pre-'80s Kraftwerk, Amon Duul II, Ash Ra Tempel, Heldon, Klaus Schulze, Gong, Faust, Harmonia, and so on. I've listened to many things and I'm not sure it gets any better. Too tired and drunk to do links though.
edit: Ooh wait, just thought of a killer for someone who likes '70s Miles, Soft Machine 3
