Creator of the Mix: Rev. Syung Myung Me
Initial Notes About The Mix: This is basically a wholly utilitarian-type mix, although I decided to make it a little interesting. Mainly, over at the Wanted Pages section of the site, thanks to all the album entries we've been putting in (especially Eyeball Kid), there've been a lot of individual songs showing up on the list -- understandably, as there's best-ofs and live albums and sometimes acts just record songs multiple times. So, I went and I got a bunch of the top songs that were showing up, and made a mix CD out of them.
Of course, since a lot of these are bigger hits, I decided to try to shake it up a bit by using alternate versions -- the only one I have to use the standard album one for is "I'm Not Bitter" by the Minus 5, because the only alternate version of that one I have is by The Young Fresh Fellows, which is a rare version, but would kind of defeat the purpose of putting it on this mix.
Anyway, though, here goes! It's not necessarily what you'd call a good mix, but there's some rarities in there if you're interested and care about the bands. But it's not something that's exactly going to rocket up the charts.
