This mix serves two purposes.
These songs came to me from various people when I was at that age when you suddenly realize how much more there is than what is being played on the radio. I know some of these bands have become fairly popular now and are played on the radio, but when they were given to me they were strange and new and different.
I listened to these songs on almost every road trip I went on as a teenager and I listen to them now whenever I want to recapture that feeling.
