As I spend more and more time these days counting my gray hairs and the others that simply refuse to stay on my head, it should come as no surprise that the sands of time are sifting past me. Still, I simply cannot wrap my head around the fact that it has already been twenty years almost to the day since U2 released their incredible, career changing Achtung Baby. All I keep thinking when reading reviews of reissues and listening to some of the outstanding covers on the tribute album, AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered, is what album will be covered and lauded 20 years from now. Far from being one to decry the state of music today - I actually think that we live in a time of incredible creativity and innovation in the arts - I have trouble putting my finger on the albums that are shaking the earth enough to make a 20 year mark.
