Mix tape suggestions - old friends

Hey bored bordies

I'm trying to put a mix tape (well it will be one of those old fangled CD's) together and was looking for some suggestions.

Meeting up with guys I've not seen in 25 years

I'm really having some writers block for some reason…so thought I'd throw it out there

St. Christopher is coming home Frank Turner 
Photosynthesis  Frank Turner  (I know bad call to put two songs by same band)
I Can Tell That We Are Gonna Be Friends - White Stripes
My Wandering Days Are Over  - Belle and Sebastian (or Get Me Away from Here I'm Dying )
Losing My Edge - LCD Soundsystem,
We'll Meet Again - Johnny Cash

sounds hot.

You should make them a mix on Spotify and send them the link.

I actually buy the music I put on mix tapes and was hoping to give them something to put in their car for the drive back

boys are back in town - thin lizzy
old friends - simon and garfunkle
boys and girls in america - hold steady

and just because it's totally nastalgia invoking for me for some reason  - johnny appleseed by joe strummer

Mostly what i've proven here (with the exception of the strummer tune) is that this would be a very difficult task for me to pull off without making it very cheesy.

james taylor  - you got a friend
grateful dead  -  friend of the devil
bill withers  -  lean on me
queen  -  friends will be friends
beatles  - with a little help from my friends
dionna warwick  -  thats what friends are for
bruno mars  - count on me
jackson five - ill be there
velvet underground  -  shes my best friend
carpenters  - good friends are for keeps
2pac  - never had a friend like me
pearl jam  - gonna see my friend
weezer  - my best friend
white stripes  - were going to be friends
rolling stones - waiting on a friend

Liz Phair - Fuck And Run

Tag Team - Whoomp there it is

Friends Stoning Friends - McLusky
A Good Friend is Always Around - American Analog Set
To Old Friends and New - Titus Andronicus
Little Friends - The Ponys

Good call…also trying to stay away from classic or 80s rock

The rest of you….I'll just have to assume you are being ironic
walky…while a few gems in that list…most make me want to puke

how,dare,you

Ironic? You didn't give any prerequisites except it was for friends you haven't seen in a couple decades.
