Need some help with a road trip mix

[WhollyHeretic]

So we're taking a family vacation and it's going to be a road trip(I know we're crazy). We will be on the road for most of a day each way. I've been working on a playlist. I've got 52 songs but I'm looking for more.

The ages on the road trip are 11, 17, 31, 34.

I'm open to any suggestions.

Here it is so far:

[DarkTirade]

1. Needs more death metal.

DEATH METAL!!!

2. How about Christian Death Metal?

[DarkTirade]

9. Wouldn't that be Christian 'Eternal Life' metal?

:P

7. I was thinkin' some Barbershop Quartet action. I don't know about polka.

I was trying to find Highway to Hell online but I can't find it.

8. try Hayseed Dixie

bluegrass covers of AC/DC songs.

[WhollyHeretic]

11. iTunes has some interesting versions of Highway to Hell

all of people have covered that.

[stuntcat]

5. Talking Heads

Road to Nowhere is funny, a lot of their songs are good for family times I think. You already have Simon & Garfunkel.. .how about a Pretenders song? a couple of Kinks songs! And maybe Joe Jackson. And maybe a Feist song. and maybe Aimee Mann.

[WhollyHeretic]

12. Thanks.

I just put some Kinks on there.

15. Needs Ratatat
