1990's

Hands down, the 90s had some of the best music. The 90s saw the rise of the best bands and artists of all times. We were educated by Lauryn Hill. Tupac told us to keep our head up. Nirvana captured 90s angst like no one else, while No Doubt made us all wish we were skaters from Cali. Or how could we forget our introduction to pop divas Brittany Spears, and Christina Aguilera. We found out what makes Shania Twain feel like a woman and what fires up the Dixie Chicks up. Then there were the divas – Whitney, Mariah, Celine – who sang and demanded their way into our hearts. No matter what genre – rock, rap, pop, punk, country – the music was just incredible.

Being born in the late 80's, I grew up singing and dancing in the 90's. Music is the sole source that helps me understand how older people don't keep up with the times. You can't ask me whose the best artist in any genre in 2014, but I know all about the 90's. Here are a couple of my favorite records that remind me of childhood.

  1. I am definitely an 80s baby but 90s raised, so I LOVE the 90s era, during this time, the groups you mentioned as well as many others pushed the limits as to what messages they sent to their audience, like TLC with sex and Tupac with anti government and black equality. I miss this time because music had a purpose. Today its more about the beat, because the lyrics are meaningless.

  2. I agree! The instrumentals are made with computers which, I think takes all the fun out of it. We also don't require REAL singers anymore because their voice can be altered to fit criteria.
