Everyone's made a mix tape (or CD, USB stick, or whatever kids do these days). Mostly to get in someone else's pants, but we're sure there are other, lesser, reasons too.
So, who did you make it for and why?
And... what was on it?

Inspired by Frankspencer (below), what about the best possible mix tape?
I'll start the ball rolling with

might have to be Devil Went Down to Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band. Admittedly, a worse guilty pleasure would be admitting that I own a Panic! At the Disco album.

I can't stand that My Sharona song
any good mix tape has to feature Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys
also, any tape made for the purposes of driving has to start of with East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed (from Smokey and the Bandit)

I even have the Greek version ( to The Devil Went Down to Georgia) although it's far too fast to which to sing along :o/
The Levellers do a canny version of it too.

The Devil went down to Georgia.... I almost aced that on Guitar Hero 3 while drunk at a mates house and can't repeat it on my own PS3 :(

I have vague, alcohol-blurred memories of getting on the floor to this in a Birmingham Rock Club.
Ever tried to hoe-down and headbang at the same time? Not easy.

'Danger Zone' from the Top Gun soundtrack. Adrenaline doesn't even come close.
I was 8 years old and on a bmx at the time (the closest I could manage to and F14 Tomcat)

"Well she said I was good-lookin'
and I looked a bit like George Michael,
But she didn't want a fuckin'

Makes me melt every time...

Tomorrow will probably be different.

How to choose just one?
Off the top of my head though:
Warren Zevon - Keep Me in Your Heart.
Never fails to bring a tear to my normally cynical eye

Anything from Marillion's Clutching At Straws album. Can't think of one song in particular - they're all equally good.
And yes, I'm showing my age.
