Quote of the year for 1959
"The Quote"
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call 'The Twilight Zone.'"
- Rod Serling, narrating The Twilight Zone

The Primitives, Crash (1988)
The indie pop band The Primitives released their debut album, Lovely, in 1988. The first single, "Crash," reach #5 on the UK Singles chart and #3 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart. The song received a rebirth of sorts when it was used in the film Dumb & Dumber--however, the version used in the film was a remix that added multiple instruments, none of which were ever played by members of the band itself.

The Timelords, Doctorin' the Tardis (1988)
Acid house pioneering duo The Timelords (aka The KLF aka The JAMs [The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu]) released an electronic novelty song in 1988 that melded the theme of a popular British science fiction series with the glam of Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll (Part Two)." The song burned up dance floors and shot to #1 in the U.K., but was universally panned by critics--both then and retrospectively. Indeed, the creators have called it "probably the most nauseating record in the world"--and this statement was made on the record itself:
