Mix #116: "T.G.I.F."

- The 90's place a special feeling in my heart; youth was still in full effect (at least for me). The music was amazing; full of bands I still cherish to this day. Every artist on this list was not only great in their heyday, but are still great to this day.
- I've toyed around with the idea of making a part two of the 90's mix. Any feedback and suggestions as always is more than welcome.
