USA Today Top 25 Music Milestones
To celebrate 25 years, USA Today shares its Top 25 "Music Milestones" from the past 25 years. Here's the ones that perked my ears...
*Live Aid. A concert benefit that raised 245 million dollars in famine relief in Ethiopia.
*Michael Jackson (when he was normal?) on MTV in 1983. Made music video innovations with Beat It and Thriller. I loved those music videos!!
*Eminem in 1999. Anyone still listen?
*Parent Advisory Sticker in 1985 brought about by Tipper Gore.
*American Idol in 2002. You choose the next American Idol.
*This is the real music highlight for me - The CD - the compact disc introduced in 1983. The CD overtook vinyl records in 1988 and the cassette in 1992. Anyone still use cassettes?
These are the days my friend.
