Showing your age

Thanks... sort of.. to The Rub for its helpful list of just how long ago some albums were released - it's slightly UScentric, but (fr'example) a kid born the year REM released Chronic Town can now buy booze; a child born the same year as Surfer Rosa was released can apply for a learner's permit, and a child born the year Fear Of A Black Planet came out need not fear a midnight visit from Gary Glitter.
