My Memorial Weekend Camping Playlist

You've gotta have a little something mellow when you're camping on a nice, lazy Saturday afternoon. This is strictly for background, though. You don't want do overdo it with the slower jams.

No matter where you are, you can't go wrong with a little Bob Seger.

Remember, when you break out the Journey, though 'Faithfully' and 'Open Arms' are good songs, you should probably leave those tunes at home. It's more about having some fun. 'Seperate Ways' is also a good choice but this one HAS to be on my playlist.

This one, although it is a slow jam, is okay to play once... maybe twice. Once when you're sober and then again when you've had a few and you want to play air drums. They've got some other great, rockin' tunes like 'You Can Still Rock in America' etc. Those would be fine, too.

Here's where we start hitting dusk. You've played enough bags and whatnot, now you're just gonna hang out. I find that as the night goes on, the songs get heavier. Tunes like this are good to play anytime, if you ask me.

Who doesn't like Metallica?

These guys will keep the party going.

Definitely a band you want to check out.

Another great party tune. Sadly, they broke up in October of 2014. So, I guess I won't get the chance to see them anytime soon.

Doesn't matter what you play from them, you can never go wrong with the Beastie Boys.
