\"\"<\/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 11 takes us late into 1993 and my sophomore year of college. \u00a0It features mostly alternative and hip-hop hits, with a little pop and Aerosmith on the side.<\/p>\n

Side A<\/h3>\n

Shai – Baby I’m Yours<\/p>\n

The follow up hit for Shai was taped off the radio, most likely B96.<\/p>\n

iTunes stats:\u00a05 plays, most recently on 7\/5\/2011<\/p>\n

Tears For Fears – Break It Down Again<\/p>\n

The comeback hit for the 80s sensation was taped off the radio, most likely Lafayette’s hit music station, 96.5 WAZY.<\/p>\n

iTunes stats:\u00a06 plays, most recently on 5\/1\/2012<\/p>\n

Bell Biv Devoe – Something In Your Eyes<\/p>\n

The non-hit from the second BBD album was taped of the CD.<\/p>\n

iTunes stats: Never played<\/p>\n

4 Non Blondes – Spaceman<\/p>\n

The minor follow up hit to What’s Up was taped off the radio, WAZY to be exact.<\/p>\n

iTunes stats: 2 plays, most recently on 5\/19\/2012<\/p>\n

Pearl Jam – Go<\/p>\n

The first hit from Pearl Jam’s second album was taped off the CD.<\/p>\n

Side B<\/h3>\n

Dr. Dre – Let Me Ride<\/p>\n

I’m guessing the gangsta rap hit was taped from a cassingle, since it doesn’t have any signs of being from the radio, but doesn’t have the language of the CD.<\/p>\n

iTunes stats:\u00a014 plays, most recently on 7\/5\/2011<\/p>\n

Mr. Big – Wild World<\/p>\n

The final pop hit for Mr. Big was taped off of WAZY.<\/p>\n
