Wait! Aren’t you forgetting something? Maestro, the music.

The soundtrack for a road trip sets the tone for the journey ahead. It gets the sing-along started, fills the silence with some chill tunes and drowns out the noise when people feel like they’re on a road to nowhere.

Making a modern mixtape

Have you got any favourite musos? What’s your style of music? What mood are you in? Maybe just hit shuffle and let your smartphone be the DJ. There’s no one way to make a playlist, so just go your own way.

Some of the biggest artists to pick up a microphone, strum a guitar or scratch a record proudly call South Australia home. So, why not put together a South Aussie Greatest Hits compilation? That’s exactly what we’ve done.

You’re probably familiar with most, if not all, of the artists on our playlist. From hip hop and pub rock, to country and kids’ favourites, we’ve got just about every style covered.

Did your favourite make it to the list?

Can you feel it?

Too many great songs, too many great albums, too many great artists! Some of our all-time favourites didn’t make this playlist. But maybe they’ve topped yours?
