40 Old Rock Songs That BOP, And Are Essential For Every Road Trip

When you think of old road trips with family, what comes to mind?

For me, it's sitting in the backseat of my family's minivan (and eventually, when minivans weren't cool anymore, SUV) listening to old rock songs and singing along with my parents.

Now, when I go back and listen to those same songs, I'm reminded of family, friends and all of our good memories.

Naturally, I decided to compile some of my favorites into an appropriately named road trip playlist. For those that want to follow the trip down memory lane, here's a list of 50 road trip essentials for those that love old rock.
