Still Too Soon To Know

Three questions, which I will try and phrase right - all related though.

They're about importance. For once I'm not talking about importance to one's personal listening history, emotional development etc. I'm interested in how we as individuals perceive "music history" and "historical significance" while it's happening.

The question:

1. What moment, or trend or era in music have you felt was most important while it was happening?

2. Have there been any moments you felt at the time were important, which don't seem as important with hindsight.

3. When you first became aware of pop music as something which had a history, what seemed to you the most important things in the previous ten years?

Argh! So annoyed I'm going to have to miss yours, as I will be doing my own at that time. I'd love to read it when it's done!

it may fall foul of the "ad lib" principle (in the aftermath if not the delivery) -- the bits that are written will be the bits i am quoting mostly :(

(i have not yet dared look who else is on around me in case i decide to be a spectator instead of a performer)

Ah, fair enough--I will cross my fingers and hope someone records an unofficial bootleg then. ;)
