\"\"<\/a>Between 1989, my sophomore year of high school, and 1995, my fourth year of college, I put together 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. I thought it would be a fun exercise to look back at all 20 volumes and which of my “favorite” songs I still listen to today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Volume\u00a04 places us smack dab in the middle of my junior year of high school,\u00a0from late 1990 and into 1991, and once again\u00a0features a\u00a0healthy dose\u00a0of hair metal\u00a0and pop, with a little dance electronica thrown in for good measure.\u00a0 Judging solely from this tape, you would have no idea that Nirvana’s Nevermind<\/em> would be released later this year.<\/p>\n
