Modest Mouse, Cage the Elephant, Queens of the Stone Age, Fu Manchu, Melvins, Cake, and Fang Island are all great driving music. Not to fast so you dont speed, not to heavy so it doesn't get to your ears after a while, and plenty interesting and quality music.
awesome signature with witty quotes from all you fuckers

Funny...Queens of the Stone Age was my first thought for good traveling musing too. May not be dad's cup of tea though. Some other thoughts.
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits is a good listen for all fans of rock n roll. You'll both know every word to every song. Big Star - according to Paul Westerberg, he never travels too far without a little Big Star (name the song anyone??) - see last suggestion below old R.E.M. The Replacements
try to pick out some stuff you both like...i'm not sure what to suggest because i'm not sure where your tastes intersect, maybe somewhere around Zeppelin or Lizzy perhaps. my personal tastes for road trip discs aren't going to help you because i tend to like weird drony floaty shit that i can zone out and woolgather to, like the acoustic disc of Sigur Ros' Heim/Hvart, the Slowdive EPs, Oceanless by Landing, and Music for Eighteen Musicians by Steve Reich.

I love Sleep, but they and OM are TERRIBLE driving music, at least if you're doing an overnight drive. My wife still talks about when we were driving 600 miles from NJ to NC, and when I got tired around 3AM, I gave her the wheel and put on Conference of the Birds. She almost drove us off the road as OM hypnotically pummeled her into sleepy submission.
