\"\"<\/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.\u00a0 Three years ago<\/a>, we looked back at all 20 volumes and which of my \u201cfavorite\u201d songs I still listened to.\u00a0 Today, we revisit those mix tapes and see how things have changed in the last 3 years.<\/p>\n

Volume 10 covers the spring and summer of 1993, following my freshman year of college,\u00a0and features the top rap and alternative hits of the summer, along with some pop and the last remnants of hair metal.<\/p>\n
