The other day my mom showed me an article that had an attached playlist. This playlist reminds her of her childhood and the many road trips and times she sat in the back of her parent's station wagon, singing along to Dusty Springfield, Jackson 5, and Simon & Garfunkel.
Well, after looking through this playlist, and realizing I knew only four songs, I went ahead and thought of my favorite songs from back in the day and preserved them for all of my generation to enjoy. This is for my 90s-2000s kids out there who went crazy over buying new CDs, and most likely still have all of them. Here is a master Spotify playlist of 85 songs, bringing back memories to the endless hours sitting in the backseat of your mom's car. You may not agree with all of the songs on this playlist, so trust me when I say I have a wide variety.
