Building the Ultimate Road Trip playlist

PuNK45S

CAGiversary!
So in about a weeks time I will be taking a roadtrip from Minnesota to Oregon.
This will be almost 24 hours on the road (of actual driving time) so I am trying to build the ultimate road trip playlist.

But I need suggestions, so I'm looking to the internet. Anything you can think of that makes you feel like driving across country while listening to I want to hear.

Im not giving any guidelines as to the type of music I like because I want this playlist to be varied. So give me whatever you think of.
 
Aimee Mann's stuff is excellent for driving (Humpty Dumpty, High On Sunday 51, Going Through The Motions, Borrowing Time)

I think the best is classic rock stuff or close enough to it. Like The Black Keys and/or Dan Auerbach, Bruce Springsteen (Spirits In The Night, Prove It All Night), Creedence Clearwater Revival ("Chronicle: Vol 1" is a good album to cover everything), Fleetwood Mac, Steve Miller Band ("Fly Like An Eagle"), Neil Young (Heart Of Gold, etc.). Or obscure stuff like Terry Reid's "Seed Of Memory" album. Maybe Bob Seger or Bob Dylan if you want cliche stuff.

For modern stuff, that's too wide a range for me to cover. Metric's latest couple albums, Sahara Hotnights ("Kiss & Tell" album), Santogold's self-titled album. Just off the top of my head.
 
I'll let the titles speak for themselves.
