Made a playlist of the tracks I had (62). Lots of the less cool stuff, and none of the hip-hop. The funny thing is a few of these I only had on cassette and had to replace via itunes.
As with any list there's a lot of stuff that sounds old and dated, and other stuff that sounds fresh like it came out this week. There's stuff I bought on cassingles back in the day, and stuff I only discovered years later in the OOs. The oldest tracks are very emotional to me and evoke memories. The later stuff I can take with a grain of salt and appreciate intellectually. There's also a subset of music that has never left my CD player or MP3 player and therefore just sounds like another day.
