Pump it up: The best playlists for your ride to and from prom!

You get to choose your dress, your date, your ride, you might have even had some say in the theme. But you never really get a say in what is played at prom. Usually it's awesome, and these days you never really get a live band like the rockin' 90s. Yet, it's still nice to have a little control over what you get to dance to or chill to before or after prom. It's important to rock up to prom with the right attitude.

So, I've taken the liberty to compile two playlists for you young couples to help make your ride to and from prom the experience it needs to be. Take it, digest it, rip it apart, but at least give some of these songs a listen!

When you go to prom, you know you'll hear all the newest hits, some throwbacks, and some classic unity songs (Shout!) Take this opportunity to explore some new tunes and see how you can set the mood for you and your friends.
