Power Ballad Playlist: A Crucial Road Trip Necessity

Road Trips are a right of passage to all. And as such, we have all encountered a leg of the trip where boredom threatens the alertness of your eyelids and safety on the road. Some people smoke to stay alert, some roll down the windows and others – like me – blare the radio.

Nothing wakes you up more than a nostalgic power ballad that helped Rocky, the Karate Kid, and Meat Loaf sore to first place! Prior to leaving on your epic road trip, throw these 12 songs on your playlist and you are sure to be the raddest and most alert warrior on the road.

1.Eye of the Tiger by Survivor

2.Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar

3.You're the Best by Joe "Bean" Esposito (from the Original Karate Kid)

4.We Built This City by Starship

5.Any Way You Want It by Journey

6.I'd Do Anything for Love (But I won't do that) by Meat Loaf

7.Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler

8.Killing Me Softly With His Song by Fugees

9.To Be With You by Mr. Big

10.Alone by Heart

11.The Power of Love by Huey Lewis & The News

Drive safely and remember, its okay to raise a clenched fist in the air as long as you keep your eyes OPEN when belting out the long notes… rock on!
