This mix contains 21 originals that at some point I think were bettered. The artist who provided the definitive version is listed in brackets. Of course this means there is an alternative mix to this I should enjoy more.

Originally made Jan 2006. I don't agree with a couple of these anymore. 5,7 & 12 in particular. But this was the way I was thinking back then - tastes change..
