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.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
