I rehash about the music of 1999 more than that of any other year I have been alive. I was too young when grunge was in full effect, so I missed out on that. And while the mid-’90s brought forth some of the best hip-hop ever created, I also wasn’t able to understand that either. Obviously, the previous decade was full of memorable music moments, but 1999 was the year where I felt like the music around me was important (even though a majority of it wasn’t). I can recall MTV still being relatively good and Moby’s “Bodyrock” playing on rock-and-roll radio. I remember Korn, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, Eminem, The Offspring, Blink 182, Rage Against the Machine, and Dr. Dre all having hit singles on television and radio. And pop radio had things that were both accessible to listen to (you are full of shit if you say you didn’t like Sugar Ray’s 14:59), as well as make fun of (Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, insert name of other pretty-boy group here). And when all these memories get stirred up, one song’s introduction always comes into play (for some reason). That song is Len’s “Steal My Sunshine”, and I can’t believe I just publically admitted this. How true.
