www.americanradiohistory.com 'Tis the season to create lists. Lots of lists. Lists of the best records of the '90s, the anrual "what's in and what's out" list, the list of best books of the 20th century, the best films of all times, the best Blair Witch parodies, the best positions to...well, you get the general idea. Since 1999 is the last year of the 20th century (and the second millennium*), the editorial staff at GAVIN decided to poll the leaders of the radio and recording industries to learn some of your person- al favorites, dislikes, peeves, and (yes) "best of." Many thanks to those of you who took the time to reply to our questions while selecting what holiday music you were going to play this year; for the rest of you: too bad for missing out on your last 15 minutes of fame in this millennium*. You'll never have this chance again...

[*The debate will never end about whether 2000 or 2001 is the first year of the new millennium, but here are ny two cents' worth: Forget the argument about there not being a "year 0" before the "year 1" in the "Western calendar." However our cur- rent system of counting got started, there was still a full orbital cycle of 365 days that came before the official "year 1." So what? So it means there was a full year, even if it had no numeral attached, that preceded "year 1." Think of it like an analog clock: there's a 1:00 but no 0:00. Still, 1:00 is an hour later than the hour that comes before it before it (12:00), and an entire hour elapses between noon and 1:00-and between 11:00 and noon. In any event, let's drop the petty stuff, call it a millennium, party like it's 1999, and enjoy ourselves as we finally move cut of our teens.] -Reed Bunzel, Editor
