The Top 100 Mix Tape Songs
Those readers who are old enough to have been dating 10-15 years ago - before the advent of the MP3 player, CD burners and the easy availability of any music ever made via the internet - will remember this: When you started dating someone, one of the most romantic things you could do was a mix tape. It was romantic for two reasons: First, the content. Every song was in some way a message to your loved one. Secondly, the fact that you'd gone to the effort of making a mix tape counted for a lot.See, back then, you couldn't just decide what you wanted, download it, and drop it onto a CD. A good mix tape could take months to compile. You'd have to find the music, either from your own collection, borrowing from friends or family, or even buying the album just for that one special track. Then, you'd have to listen to the track in real time so you could record it onto tape. There was a lot of effort involved, which is partly what was so cool about it.
A lot of that impact has been lost now that it's so easy and cheap to create a mix tape, but even so, it's still an awesome romantic gesture. Also, since it is so easy now, you don't really have any excuse. So, here's a rundown of the top 100 mix tape songs for inclusion on your own mix tapes. Some of these are borrowed from Sassy's blog, others are my own. This is a work in progress, so if you have any suggestions, add a comment!
