\"\"<\/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

Volume 2 picks up in early 1990 and takes us through early summer, book-ended \u00a0by Roxette hits and featuring another steady stream of hair metal and pop, with a little rap and R&B thrown in for flavor.<\/p>\n
