\"\"<\/a>20 years ago, during my sophomore year of high school, I put together the first of what would become 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. We last looked back at all 20 volumes three years ago to see which of my “favorite” songs still resonated in today’s digital world. Today, we revisit those mix tapes and see how, or if, things have changed in the past 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

Side A<\/h3>\n

Pearl Jam – Black<\/em><\/p>\n

Hitting #3 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart despite the band’s refusal to release it as an official single, the song was only listened to 5 times in the past 3 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n

Def Leppard – Two Steps Behind<\/em><\/p>\n
