poptimistsThree 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?

(there were no doubt others too, but that's the one I will always remember)
