Help me compile my road trip playlist

Going on a camping road trip this week and thought since there have been some awesome music threads on here, I would ask you to hit me with your favourite BANGERS to put on my playlist (we're looking at minimum 5 hours to our destination so that's a lot of music...)

Favourite decade for music is 90s but like other decades too. Less familiar with 2012 onwards (kind of stopped listening to the radio around then) Prefer pop/rock/dance, but open to suggestions!
