I just made a new mixed tape last weekend for my daily commute and am pleasantly surprised at how well I like it. I’m a car-singer from way back but I really dislike the radio. So, I periodically make mixed tapes for the car (no CD player). Here is the line-up of my most recent.

Side 1:  
**(Don’t go back to) Rockville** by R.E.M.  
**Somday some morning sometime** by Billy Bragg and Wilco  
**True faith** by New Order  
**I don’t want to grow up** by Tom Waits  
**Another drinkin’ song** by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones  
**Baker street** by Gerry Rafferty  
**Friend of the Devil** by the Grateful Dead  
**Thank God, I’m a country boy** by John Denver  
**New York City** by They Might Be Giants  
**The ghost of Tom Joad** by Bruce Springsteen  
**Gloria** by U2  
**Well, allright** by Buddy Holly

Side 2:  
**Guitar town** by Steve Earle  
**Goodnight Saigon** by Billy Joel  
**Standing still** by Jewel  
**Shame on you** by the Indigo Girls  
**Solitary man** by Neil Diamond  
**Mrs. Potter’s lullaby** by Counting Crows  
**Windfall** by Son Volt  
**Redemption song** by Ziggy Marley and the Chieftans  
**John O’Reilly** by Charlie Robison  
**Sara smile** by Hall and Oates  
**Father and son** by Cat Stevens

So my questions are, what is on your favorite mixed tape? Did you make it yourself? And if you did, do you have rules on what can go on it? For example, when I make a tape I only allow one song per artist and I’m pretty sure that I have included one **They Might Be Giants** song on every compilation I have ever made.

My favorite was a tape I made while I was trying (unsuccessfully) to quit smoking. I took samples from the cheesy “Pathways to Change” promotional tape that came with the nicotine patch (it had Bob and Janet, two ex-smokers, helping each other resolve to stay smoke-free) and mixed them with songs that I’m always getting obsessively stuck in my head.

I can’t remember everything that was on it (so that part worked, at least), but the tracks I can remember:

Yaz- Situation  
Indigo Girls- Secure Yourself  
Deep Purple- Smoke on the Water  
Tom Waits- Jockey Full of Bourbon  
Suzanne Vega- Tom’s Diner  
Aaron Copland/Leonard Bernstein- Rodeo: Hoedown (the Beef: It’s What’s For Dinner commercial music)  
Tom Tom Club- Genius of Love  
The Ohio Players- Love Rollercoaster  
The Breeders- Cannonball  
Palm Fabric Orchestra- Angelika Suspended  
Hot Butter- Popcorn  
Perrey & Kingsley- Baroque Hoedown (Disney’s Main St. Electrical Parade)  
R.E.M.- Strange  
Lawsuit- Anything  
Naked Eyes- Always Something There to Remind Me

Note that if I tried the same thing today, it would definitely include “Where’s Your Head At?” by Basement Jaxx. Insidious.

Well, I don’t have rules, i just put the songs that i’m really into at the time, for example, this would be mine (if I follow the rules of a 1 hour tape, 30mins each side):

Side A:  
**Pink Floyd** - Dogs  
**Dream Theater** - Change Of Seasons

Side B:  
**Queen** - I Want To Break Free (Live Wimbledon '86)  
**U2** - Where The Streets Have No Name (Live Rattle And Hum DVD)  
**John Petrucci & Jordan Rudess** - Furia Taurina  
**Pink Floyd** - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Live Pulse CD1)

I usually have 1 side of studio album songs, and another side of live recordings

Based on 20 track, one song per band. - In order

The effect should be start loud and grab the attention. Then bring it down to medium pace, before slowing it down, then gradually build it up to a climax at the end. - (Based loosly on High Fidelity)

1. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin
2. Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix
3. Around the World - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
4. Everlong - Foo Fighters
5. Someday - The Strokes

Hey **HalberMensch242** , would you do me a big favor and email me? Mine’s listed in my profile… yours is not. Thanks in advance.

Re the OP. I rarely make mix tapes for myself (I almost always end up with the same songs), but here’s one I made for myself a few years back that I still like to hear sometimes. Don’t judge me too harshly, there’s one or two ‘guilty pleasure’ songs and at least one inside joke (with myself) song on it:

**Side A:**  
Neil Young - The Loner  
Radiohead - Anyone can play guitar  
Counting Crows - I Wish I Was a Girl  
Cake - Guitar  
Alkaline Trio - Cringe  
eels - Hospital Food  
Soul Coughing - So Far I Have Not Found the Science  
The Pixies - Where Is My Mind?  
Weezer - The World Has Turned And Left Me Here  
Korea Girl - B-Side  
Pavement - Zurich Is Stained  
Bradley Nowell - Eye of Fatima  
The Chinkees - Big World

**Side B**  
Radiohead - Exit Music (for a film)  
Pavement - Stop Breathing  
Piebald - Small Town Outside of Boston  
Gomez - Rosalita  
Neil Young - Don’t Cry  
Ben Harper - Ashes  
Neil Young - Old Man  
Guster - Demons  
Bradley Nowell - Saw Red  
Cake - Sheep Go To Heaven  
Semisonic - This Will Be My Year  
Neil Young and Pearl Jam - What Happened Yesterday  
The last mix CD I made was also one of my best. But it wasn’t for me. Here it is though.  
1 Archers of Loaf - You and Me  
2 The Dismemberment Plan - The Face of the Earth  
3 Braid - Please Drive Faster  
4 Modest Mouse - Custom Concern  
5 Dealership - My Box  
6 Bright Eyes - A Perfect Sonnet  
7 Cursive - Mothership Mothership Do You Read Me  
8 Desaparecidos - What’s New For Fall  
9 Alkaline Trio - Cringe  
10 This Busy Monster - What She Said  
11 The Impossibles - Invisible  
12 Recover - Match Like Memory  
13 Thursday - This Side of Brightness  
14 Piebald - Small Town Outside of Boston  
15 The Dismemberment Plan - Following Through  
16 Mates of State - A Duel Will Settle This

For a complete music geek like myself, this is an amazingly cool question. I made this one about two years ago, give or take, and it’s still the best.  
**Side A**

1. Nothing, actually. The MP3 didn’t record for some reason.
2. “Crazy” - **Afghan Whigs**
3. “Don’t Need a Reason” - **Beth Orton**
4. “Wonderful Love” - **Creeper Lagoon**
5. “66” - **Afghan Whigs**
6. “Easy Tonight” - **Five For Fighting**
7. “Last Stop: This Town” - **eels**
8. “Thunderstorm” - **Matthew Sweet**

**Side B**

1. “Don’t Panic” - **Coldplay**
2. “Bohemian Like You” - **Dandy Warhols**
3. “Wish” - **Wild Strawberries**
4. “You’d Better Get Yourself Together, Baby” - **The Gigolo Aunts**
5. “Prophecy” - **Remy Zero**
6. “Elevation” - **U2**
7. “Flower” - **eels**
8. “Champagne High” - **Sister Hazel**
9. “I’ll Be Back” - **Agents of Good Roots**

Even though it’s a burned CD, I still get all nostalgic and weepy over mix tapes so I tend to divide them into two sides. Two of my favorite songs are on here - the Afghan Whigs’ “Crazy” and Agents of Good Roots’ “I’ll Be Back” - so I still love it despite some of the more recognizable and (now) overplayed tracks.

**White Lightning** , your mix CD rocks. How could you have parted with that?

2. Easily Amused (Starcraft remix)
3. Sex and Candy (Marcy Playground)
4. Adidas remix (Korn)

So, no one’s mentioned “Make Me a Mixtape” by the Promise Ring yet? heheheheh.

quote:  
“Make me a mixtape, dont leave out husker du, put something on that the cars did in 1982, etc.”

the definitive mix tape song. I myself have included it on a mix tape, titled, oddly enough, “Make me a mix tape”
