Supermix 2K5

I spent some time over the second half of last year, compiling and putting together a cd with my all time favorite songs...limited to one per band so I could represent more of my favorite bands. I did several editions but after a few tries and re-tries I finally settled on a cd that, as of now, best represents my favorite music and contains some songs that really mean alot to me in a lot of ways. If any of you guys want a copy of it I'll be more than happy to burn one for you. It's the best way for me to answer the question "what kind of music do you like?". Also, it is a chance to share a part of my life and I feel that the cd gives a really good sense of who I am and what I'm like. Without further flatulation...here's the tracklist:

The hardest parts of putting together a cd like this are deciding which song to use (which is hard with some of my favorite bands), deciding what order to put them in, and, hardest of all, cutting some songs from the list in order to fit it all onto one cd.This is still definitely a work in progress, but it's much close to being a finished product than it's ever been. Then again, I don't think I'll ever have a finished product as far as this is concerned. That's what's so great about good music.
