1988 Was Super Great, Says Slate

From the desk of Ned P. Rauch:

1988 the best year in music? Ever? So says this article from Slate. I'm not equipped to make claims like that. (Who is, really?) Still, the guy brings up some bands I hadn't thought of in a while—Husker Du, for example—so, that's good for something. Anyhow, interesting article. Gets into "post-something-periods" (post-punk, post-grunge, etc.).
