We're smack-dab in the middle of Summer, and to me, there are few more quintessential Summer vacations than a good old-fashioned road trip. Of course, any good road trip needs a great Playlist, and there is no shortage of songs that pay tribute to motorized wanderlust.
In fact, when I made my trip cross-country several years ago, I asked all of my friends to burn mix CDs so I would have plenty to listen to en route. Of course, that was before these newfangled iPod Playlists, but I've used those original CDs as inspiration for my summer road trip iMix. Clicking the link takes you to a URL that will ask you to launch iTunes, so just click "launch application" in the pop-up window. Since I'm now publishing the BuzzSugar Playlists on iTunes, you can even buy the iMix for your next road trip. Tell me what would be on your road-trip mix, and to see the list of songs on mine, read more

4It's a very windows down stick your hand out the window and make waves song.
The ultimate cliched roadtrip song is Life is a Highway by Tom Cochrane. It was really popular when I was on an extended road trip once and by then end of it I wanted to throw up every time I heard it, but now I look back fondly on the trip whenever I hear the song.
The three songs I put on every road trip CD I make (to be fair, I have an mp3 changer in my car, so I can put 100+ songs on a CD and don't have to be too choosy) are:
Dreamline--Rush
Outerspace--Evan and Jaron
Mr. Brightside--The Killers
They're all songs that force me to put on the cruise control if I'm on the open road when they come on because I will peg 100 mph if I don't! I get into the music and then look down and I'm going waaaaaay too fast.
