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

Last week, we finished up the last of the 20 volumes.\u00a0 The 287 songs from 144 different bands or performers have been played an average of just over 8.5 times\u00a0each, according to my iTunes\u00a0stats, up from just over 5 times 3 years ago.\u00a0Let’s take one final look back at the bands and songs that made up my youth.<\/p>\n
