3 Albums - Pick Wisely
shailynnThey never tell you what you need to know.
If you could only listen to 3 albums for the next year anytime you got into your car (no radio available) which 3 albums would you pick? I’ll even let you cheat a little and allow 1 pick to be a greatest hits/boxed set.

I have 5,000+ music files on my computer. I used to burn Cd's to play in my car but my new 2024 Mustang does not have a CD port...old technology. So now I have USB stick with 1,009 songs on it. What is a radio?

Just 3 albums ? OK, I'll give you the 3 types of albums I'd pick: One would be kick-ass rock & roll, another movie theme songs, and 3rd would be best of John Barry concerts. Something for a wide range of whatever I feel like at the moment.

Miles Davis Kind of Blue
Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti
and since you didn't limit the box set to a single artist
Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground - 80 some songs on 4 cds that covers fairly comprehensively 1980's college radio.

Oh wow, ONLY three...
An incredible compilation. Two of my all time favorites are on this album: Liz Story's "Greensleeves" and Mark Isham's "A Tale of Two Cities".
Joni Mitchell - For the Roses
AC/DC - Highway to Hell

Answering this before I read others' lists so I don't change my mind:
The Very Best of the Eagles (33 songs), assuming compilation albums are acceptable
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Queen II

Wasn't expecting to see OP's choice of Robert Plant - Principle of Moments. Very good album, I bought it too upon release

@DeclineToState - Regarding Robert Plant, I was in kindergarten when that album came out. I was heavily influenced musically by my much older sibling. I was never a huge fan of Led Zeppelin but Robert Plant backed by Phil Collins in the 80's was amazing.
@jaybud999 - I really debated putting Vivid on my list, and Operation Mindcrime is a masterpiece as well. Geoff Tate was amazing on that album.
