Song Suggestions for Roadtrip Mix CD?

Hey. Im putting together some mix CDs for a 6+ hour ride to visit my mom over Thanksgiving. Any suggestions on awesome alternative songs that won't put me to sleep on the way? I love The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Postal Service, Snow Patrol, the Decemberists...

The Chili Peppers version of "Why Don't You Love Me" will not put you to sleep.

Anything by Tegan and Sara is amazing. I feel bad once again saying, "Tegan and Sara!" because I know people probably get sick of me recommending them, but really..they are so good. And plus, they are girls and all of their songs are written to girls! My favorites: Speak Slow I Was Married Back In Your Head Nineteen Floorplan

Songs that won't put you to sleep...Try System of a Down. That band is one of the loudest and craziest ones I know of.
