The great 20th century philosopher Ferris Bueller once said “life moves pretty fast…if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it”.I think of this wisdom a lot, especially when someone starts talking about, say, the music of the 1990s…my instinctive reaction is always the same… “yeah…the 90s…that was ten years ago, right?”.Obviously not…Nirvana’s “Nevermind” still lives and that record is over 30 years old…all the legendary grunge artists are in their 50s and 60s if not dead…but so much of the music of the era is always in the air so it’s not like it ever had a chance to be forgotten.I was in an airport recently—a big public space serving people of all ages and all backgrounds from around the world—and “Man in a Box” from Alice in Chains was playing on the p.a.And then there are all those moments in the grocery store when I hear music playing and think to myself “when did supermarket music get so cool?”.The truth is that this music is a lot older than my brain wants to believe…even though it still sounds fresh, so much has happened since those records came out.Life does move pretty fast…and it seems that it’s moving faster with each passing day…and yeah, we do need to stop and looking around once in while because, let’s face it, we’re missing a lot of stuff.Now that we’re 25 years deep into the 21st century, I feel the need to look around a lot more, if for no other reason, to remember and keep track of everything that we’ve seen in music…what have we missed?...what have we forgotten?...and if we’re not acquainted with how we got here, how can we possibly be ready for what might be coming next.This is episode 3 of a series I call “the 100 greatest rock moments of the millennium so far”…let’s see how many of these things you remember.Songs in this episode:Radiohead - CreepTool - TempestImagine Dragons - RadioactiveThe Killers - Mr. BrightsidePantera - WalkFoo Fighters - Something From NothingNine Inch Nails - 34 Ghosts IVSinead O'Connor - The Last Day of Our AcquaintanceU2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing (live) Learn more about your ad choices.
