I have no favorite genre, but here are a couple of things I can listen to over and over.
Recommended by Margaret
Every Breath You Take, the classics
The Police
London Calling
The Clash
The Police likely set me on the road to discovering the Clash and a whole wide world of punk and ska. This is a good sampling of their radio hits going back to the beginning, with Roxanne.

Cuatro Caminos
Café Tacuba
Rock en Español is one of my favorite genres. However, there is always room for Ricky Martin's Unplugged and salsa music with Tito Nieves.
Recommended by Aurora
This breakthrough album is slightly psychedelic, and very Beatles-esque. Standout track: “Hello."
Morning Glory
Oasis
Irish traditional music mixes it up with punk-rock attitude: You won’t be sure if you should jig or if you should pogo. Standout track: “Sunny Side of the Street.”
Hell's Ditch
Pogues

The English Beat, a major band in the early '80s 2 Tone ska scene, released three albums. This CD pulls some of the best songs from all three. If you like reggae or pop, I would definitely check it out.
Beat this!

I think this collection has the most obscure goodies that I never would have discovered had I not checked this out at the library. Uplifting and relentlessly singable -- perfect for a road trip!
