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

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 \u201cfavorite\u201d songs I still listen to today.<\/p>\n

Volume 19 stretches from late summer 1995 and into the fall semester of the first of my two senior years of college. \u00a0Again, it mostly features what was considered alternative music, with Coolio interjecting some street flavor for good measure.<\/p>\n
