Playlists for the perfect spring break road trip
So, it's spring break. You and your friends load up into whoever's car can hold the most people (or travel the farthest without breaking down) and head out on the open road. The most important thing to bring along? A decent playlist.
I asked a few college journalists (with better taste in music than me) to list off the 10 greatest road trip songs of all time. Have your own list to add? Shoot me an e-mail.
