Let me paint you a picture, one you know all too well: you're in your car, windows rolled down, your best friend is in the passenger seat, and then that one song comes on. You know the song, the one that makes you both stop your conversation dead in its tracks, forces you to turn the volume up as high as you can without blowing your speakers, and belt the lyrics until your throat hurts. The wind is whipping through your hair, and everything just feels so summer. I've spent the last four hours of my life compelling a near-perfect playlist of oldies jams that will give you just that feeling. So, if you're secretly 50 years old inside, like me, then you should add these to your Spotify immediately.
