Easy listening feel good music!

[Julie]

I'm going on a road trip to Italy in exactly 7 days! We made a deal that every one of us should make a CD to play in the car. I know at least one friend doesn't really like the "heavier" kind of rock and the other two, well, I don't really know! That's why I'd like some help compiling the CD: the songs should be easy listening & the kind that everyone likes & brings you in the right mood (to do touristy stuff & have fun)!
Thanks spanks!
