Best 4th of July Rock Songs
Music is essential to good vibes at any party, and independence day celebrations call for their own type of playlist.
We think a perfectly curated playlist is one that includes patriotic songs (obviously) and since we think of 4th of July as happy, fun, upbeat and energetic, those are the types of songs we like to include in our playlist. No slow or mello songs here!
We also think a great playlist is one that will speak to a variety of people you may have at your gathering. So classic rock, pop, country, R&B are all mixed together to make the perfect blend – with one thing in common! They have to be upbeat!
