1989, the number, another poll - something to do while you count the minutes until POPTIMISM TONIGHT AT THE UNION TAVERN (ahem).

Only EIGHT picks this time because Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" was a duplicate.

Re: "nexus" at the time this felt like the greatest time for music ever

98/99 is when people started noticing how this thing called 'mp3' was gonna fuck shit up. by end of '99 Napster was well known among the l33t. i like to think this serves as comparative nexus in the absence of no signficiant sense of 'newness' in music itself (unless you count Britney reclamation of credible pop, a 2 step/speed garage scene on the wane a bit, the birth of Kompakt and, uh, nu-metal)
