Here is my self imposed mission, should I choose to accept it. 26 letters of the alphabet. 26 bands, one for each letter. A mix tape that can't be longer than 80 minutes. This is not my favourite band starting with each letter, but just a collection of bands starting with each letter in ordcer to make a fun mix. Let the insanity begin...

Aww, this is amazing. All of these bands (well, most of them) were introduced to me by my substitute teacher in upper school (or whatever it's called, those classes where you're 14-16 years old) - I still have a major crush on him, partly for that!! Zeppelin, Free, Pink Floyd etc. But where is all the good Steppenwolf and Pulp and Dire Straits at? Anyway. Good selection as said by cst003. And I enjoy reading your descriptions a LOT. :)
