Whether it be a day at the beach, an afternoon in an artsy town, or a week-long vacation, summer road trips are not complete without good music to jam to. Here are 18 songs you must add to your road trip playlist; a mix of throwback tunes and more recent pop hits, songs you love and songs you love to hate. You'll be rolling down your windows and maxing the volume on your car stereo in no time.

1. Queen, "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Perhaps the oddest song ever written, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is one of those wacky tunes that is ridiculously fun to sing along to (and don't forget your air guitar and falsetto skills).

2. Miley Cyrus,"Party in the USA."

3. Fountains of Wayne,"Stacy's Mom."

How do I even describe this song?

4. The Killers,"Mr. Brightside."

5. Neil Diamond,"Sweet Caroline."

One of those songs that just never gets old.

6. Fall Out Boy,"Alone Together."

Take turns with your friends singing lead and the backing "Yeah!" for added entertainment.

7. Hoodie Allen,"No Interruption."

Just a flat-out fun track. Learn the whole rap so you can show off to your friends.

8. The Proclaimers, "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)."

This one's especially great when you want to annoy the one person in the car who is trying to take a nap.

9. One Direction, "What Makes You Beautiful."

Admit it. You secretly love it even though you pretend it gives you a headache.

10. Cascada, "Every Time We Touch."

One of those random pop songs that gets you acting out the lyrics and pretending you're dancing on a table.

11. Vanssa Carlton, "A Thousand Miles."

It's that overplayed song of the 2000s that everyone just seems to know and love.

12. Ed Sheeran, "Sing."

Sheeran has a ton of great songs, but this one is by far his most danceable tune. For bonus points, try to keep up with him during the verses.

13. Taylor Swift, "You Belong With Me."

Gotta love young Taylor Swift with the forever-relatable lyrics about feeling invisible.

14. All Time Low, "Dear Maria (Count Me In)."

This one's probably not as relatable as T-Swizzle's, but it's still an awesome jam to sing (or scream?) at the top of your lungs.

15. The 1975, "Chocolate."

If you haven't already guessed, Matty Healy isn't singing about everyone's favorite sweet treat. The song is just as catchy as it is deep and meaningful.

16. N'Sync, "Bye Bye Bye."

What a classic boy-band jam.

17. Survivor, "Eye of the Tiger."

Play this one for motivation when you still have four long hours yet to drive and you're not sure whether you can do it.

18. Panic! At The Disco, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies."

Even if you don't remember knowing this song, you know this song. And you love it.
