Introductory notes (by Marc a.k.a. Pop Kulcher):

After Rob Conroy recently updated his 2-cd collection of his favorite songs (see here and here), he kindly invited me to join him in a combined effort at an alternating DJ mix or our respective favorites. However, inspired by his mixes, I instead opted to post my own 2-cd collection of my favorite tunes (see here and here). In the alternative, we opted to co-author a mix of selections from each of our dozen favorite albums. We had two overlapping picks (the Velvet Underground's self-titled third album and the Stones' Exile On Main Street, both of which I deferred to Rob in choosing the representative tracks), resulting in 22 tracks total. The selections are intended as songs we felt appropriate for the mix, rather than our assessments of the "best" tunes on each album.

A couple quick observations. First, as with our respective favorite song collections, Rob's approach is more purist - a favorite album is a favorite album, and if that means you have 3 Beatles albums on this list, then that's the mix you make. In contrast, I tend to prefer a more diverse mix, limiting myself to one album per artist (even if there's no question in my mind that Revolver is a better album than, say, Sonic Youth's Sister). Second, Rob's purism extends to preferring the mono versions of certain 60's classics, observing (correctly) that the mono mix was true to the artist's original intent. Me, I'm a sucker for stereo, even the primitive false-stereo found on some mid-60's work. But, as only Rob's picks were implicated, we went with those mono mixes.
The link on the first song should bring you to a zipped file with the mix + artwork. Naturally, this is done only for the enjoyment of those who already legitimately own the songs; if not, I trust you will preview the songs merely so that you can then run out and buy them.
