"15 After Punk Broke" Mixtape


"The idea is as follows: You compile a list of your 15 top albums made from 1977 to the present. It can be any genre, etc – just your personal top 15. Then pick a track from each of those albums – deep cuts, singles – whatever you want to represent your top albums. Get me a tracklisting, in order of your 15. Your 15 tracks should condense thirty years of your essential music into the ultimate playlist we’ll all share." - Rob Baniewicz
