The key to good road trip music is to find upbeat tunes that everyone can sing along to. Sure, a lot of us music snobs like obscure indie bands but unless everyone in the car is aware of the band/singer, you're going to have a few cranky passengers on your hands.

My Suggestions:
Bohemian Rhapsody- Queen
Piano Man- Billy Joel
Tiny Dancer- Elton John
Sweet Caroline- Neil Diamond
Blister in the Sun- Violent Femmes
Mr. Jones- Counting Crows
You Shook Me All Night Long- AC/DC
Bon Jovi- You Give Love a Bad Name
Love is a Battlefield- Pat Benatar
Breakfast at Tiffany's- Deep Blue Something
Should I Stay or Should I Go- The Clash
What I Got- Sublime

Do you have an incredible bass and the desire to feel like a teenager again while cruising with the windows down?

Try these hip-hop favorites:
Big Poppa- B.I.G
California Love- 2Pac
Lose Yourself- Eminem
Rapper's Delight- The Sugarhill Gang
No Diggity- Blackstreet
Hey-Ya!- Outkast
O.P.P.- Naughty by Nature

So get an itrip FM transmitter and hook up your ipod or make a mixed CD and get ready to create some unforgettable moments.
