Comment:

the concept, songs from the years that the girl that i'm making this for and i were in HS, but she's 2yrs younger, so it was to be songs from '92-'98, but i pulled that in to give it a HS/year book packaging theme (that i don't currently have done)... most of this i was listening to at the time, very little of it i was not at the time... some of these bands have tasted success and then broke up, some became household names, some never had that much luck & just broke up, some still toil at making music in obscurity, and other dissapear w/o any of us knowing what really happened to the band or any of the members... if you know the where abouts of the Mysteries of Life, Pale Saints, Flemming & John, the Pooh Sticks or Sleeper please let me know...
