There has been a lot of talk on music lately. Between the awesome conversation started by …the almost right word on 20SB on the best songs of the 90’s (and raych, K7 – brilliant) to Nerd’s Eye View’s recent roundup of headphones, there is no doubt that being equipped with a good playlist is an absolute necessity for travel.
So, here is a quick overview of what typically falls on my road trip playlist – pasted from my iTunes…

I’m all about throwbacks to the 80’s and 90’s. They’re perfect for a roadtrip because you sing along and the time flies by.
