1984

RUN DMC

Punk Rock was kickin butt +

Breakin and Beat Street were in the theaters

People like Jelly Bean were getting to do big records

Newcleus Jam on it.

That silly mac commercial that told me that I could use a computer for other things than programming basic scripts

Funk was still pumping out of the windows in my neighborhood

Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads.

And on and on and on. . .

The world of music kaleidoscoped for me that year.

Don't forget Pearl Jam's Ten on the '91 list. Oh and Soundgarden's badmotorfinger. I think Alice in Chains skipped that year. Go grunge.

Shoot, I know this is a trick question designed to divulge one's age, but I'll bite the bullet. I don't really have a genre and I've absorbed lot's through the years...

The classic years were still the best for me ('67 thru '69). Unparalleled expslosion in diversity of music.

Then '80-'81... the whole punk, new wave, ska thing. Lot's of energy. My collection of skinny ties was second to none!

Early nineties- grunge and hip hop. Shape of things to come.

The millenium- power to the people at last! The power to create your own music (no matter how eccentric) and bring it to the masses. All without having to kiss corporate ass.

um.... 1999,2000 or something like that when I first moved to Sydney.

First day I moved in Tree (aussie fusion band) was playing in the park
around the corner. Saw Dennis Chambers twice that year from a nice close
table with 1 arm on the stage, Tribal Tech, Mike Patton with some
Japanese noise guy doing feedback crazy shit, um a bunch of fusion and
funk bands....

OK ya old rude boy

ONE year, what albums

You run on a 20 year cycle, '69, '81, millenium... shit, another 15 years of suckage.

May 6th, 1996. My first rave ever. It was in a brewery warehouse, so there were cases of beer stacked up against the wall. Fucking amazing.
