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

Junior Kimbrough - Most Things Haven't Worked Out

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.
