What Songs Did I Like in College?

I recently went through the exercise of taking all my mix tapes that I made in college (or shortly thereafter) and created playlists in iTunes based on them. I, in theory, get all of the joy of a playlist I personally created without having to carry around those old cassettes with better sound quality to boot.Of the music I have ripped into iTunes, roughly 10% of those songs ended up on my mix tapes. Some songs made appearances on more than one mix tape. For fun, I decided to list out all the songs that appeared three times or more, combining different versions of the same song. Whether or not you want this potentially disturbing view into my psyche roughly 15-20 years ago is another matter ;)6 Appearances
