\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

20 years ago, during my sophomore year of high school, I put together the first of what would become a nearly 20 volume collection of mix tapes, containing my favorite songs that I had gathered either from the radio, a cassette tape, or (eventually) CD. We last looked back at all 20 volumes three years ago<\/a> to see which of my “favorite” songs still resonated in today’s digital world. Today, we revisit those mix tapes and see how, or if, things have changed in the past 3 years.<\/p>\n

We wrap up our look back with Volume 20, which stretches over late 1995 and the fall semester of the first of my two senior years of college. \u00a0At some point, I noticed that the tape players on my boom box were slowing down and, despite multiple attempts,\u00a0apparently could not be repaired, which spelled the end for these collections.<\/p>\n

Side A<\/h3>\n

Smashing Pumpkins – Bullet With Butterfly Wings<\/em><\/p>\n

Winner of the 1997 Grammy award for Best Hard Rock Performance, the first single from the Pumpkins double album opus picked up a measly 3 new listens over the past 3 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

Melissa Etheridge – Your Little Secret<\/em><\/p>\n

The first single from Melissa Etheridge’s under-performing followup to her smash hit album is still missing from my collection.<\/p>\n

Lisa Loeb – Do You Sleep<\/em><\/p>\n

The third single from Lisa Loeb’s major label debut, which peaked at #18 on the Billboard charts, nearly doubled its plays in the last 3 years.<\/p>\n
