The Results of the Quintessential Burn

Well I spent the better part of the weekend burning the discs to see how many discs my mix would take. It turns out, 4. There were maybe 7 songs I had to edit out from my original list. I kept it down to one track per artist, for the most part. Yes there were two exceptions and yes they have to do with the man who's butt is pictured in the previous entry. There may be slight changes to the final product, but this mix fits perfectly using nearly all 80 minutes of 4 cds...
