\"\"<\/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

We wrap up 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 apparently could not be repaired, which spelled the end for these collections.<\/p>\n
