Which songs are classic road trip choices? Jenny Ferguson helps you compile the perfect playlist.  How do you create an amazing road trip playlist? There are many ways that a playlist can go terribly wrong. An over-played song will kill the mood. A really bad tune can dilute the greatness of your inspired list and get you on your friend’s worst road trip tunes list. To avoid these terrible potential side effects of a bad playlist and to compile a song list that will keep you entertained the entire trip, follow these tips to playlist perfection! Where Are You Going? I love a good themed mix CD, something to inspire and excite the whole carload on a road trip. Using songs to hype up the driver (and passengers) while you’re heading west is a great way to make a stellar playlist. If you’re going to California, the options are endless. There’s a California song for every mood, from Wave’s upbeat one-hit-wonder “California” to Albert Hammond’s classic “It Never Rains In Southern California.” But if you’re travelling anywhere else, you’ll have to get inventive. Create a trivia game by picking songs that are associated with your destination. How about instead of playing songs about our nation’s capital, look for artists who were born and raised in Ottawa to play on your road trip instead? The sky’s truly the limit on this one. Who Are You Going With? If you’re travelling with your best friends, you’ll play different songs than if you’re travelling with your girlfriend and her mom. Context is all important when creating the perfect soundtrack to your trip. When on the road with your buddies, feel free to throw in songs that you know will get them going: their favourite artist, their favourite bands, that song you sang that one time at karaoke. A song with history in your group will have everyone insisting that it’s time to turn it up and roll the windows down. |
