Play a mafia theme album or some Classic Rock that Tony and Carmela woulda listened to back in the day.

Still one of my all time favorite movies. This movie has mob moments, and these songs have played in many of those movies over the years. Classic.

We’ll by right back after a quick word from our sponsors…

Taking my cue from "Living in the 90's" commercial. This Taco Bell compilation features a few less problematic artists (Looking at you R. Kelly and Right Said Fred) than the Living in the 90's set, yet still retains that glorious 90's font and feel. I did buy this back in the day, and lost the original CD. A night of drunken reminiscing with a friend about it a few years ago made me purchase it again and add it back to my collection. I don't have CD player currently, so I'll spin the Spotify verison of this.

One more fun fact, my first job in high school was as a dishwasher/cook for Taco Bell. It was never as fun as the commercial for this CD made it out to be though.
