That could also mean it is an example of an innovative idea that ends up 
influencing a lot of people. It's probably too soon to tell though.

That's why I was suggesting we look at the 90's. We've got a few years of 
perspective, and we can take in the whole decade and get some idea of what 
things really mattered.

After that I figured we could take another look at the 80's, since that 
decade is also pretty sparse in the "essential recordings" page.
