THE SITUATION: For reasons beyond your control or understanding, you suddenly find yourself trapped in 1989 with your three best friends, a beat-up Honda Civic and a unavoidable need to drive that Honda Civic with your friends to a destination that is at least a three days drive away. Your only source of entertainment? An AM/FM Cassette Player without an antenna.

It's time to make a MIX TAPE!!!

Lucky for you, you have access to the local radio station's extensive collection of vinyl records and the ability to use said records on to the only blank 90-minute cassette tape that you could find.

That's about 18 songs that you and your three friends are going to hear OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN over the next three days.

WHAT SONGS DO YOU PUT ON YOUR MIX TAPE???

Simple rules: Less than 90 minutes of music, can be nearly anything that was recorded and played on the radio previous to 1990.

Did you check and make sure that would all fit on a 90-minute tape? Seems a bit... *long*. But definately a good mix tape :)

Yeah, that only allows for about 3:13 length for each song, on average. If I pull a couple off, such as Like a Virgin and West End Girls, that makes it more like a minute and a half per song, which is probably about right.
