We did sing-a-longs when my sis and I were young with my mom leading (dad always drove, always). Once I hit the tween years, we switched to the kids listening to their walk-mans (I'm old) with headphones while my folks talked. We didn't have a built-in tape player in the car so radio was the only choice so not terribly relevant to your options today but the point is that at some point my folks gave up on the "family" experience in trade for peace.
DS mostly likes the music DH and I listen to on trips but we tailor our choices to cds we know he likes (or tolerates).
Is there anything you all like? Otherwise I'd drop the cd altogether and see if the kids can self-entertain. It would bother me if DH was not engaged with me in the car, but then DH and I have always relied on each other for entertainment (and staying awake) while driving (it is 2.5 hours to MIL and we've been married nearly 20 years so that is a lot of driving).
