At a minimum, the person making it has to have a clear idea of the actual songs that the receiver would like. The songs have meaning. They're connected in some way.*
There are so many genres of music from any time period. You should already know what your friend would want to hear if you are going to make a "tape" or cd. If you have to ask for suggestions, then it's not the right gift. I don't mean to be rude. Just being realistic.
