Now That's What I Call The 90s

Product Information

On a lighter note, the last "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip was published and the first successful air-balloon ride was made over the Pacific. It gave the Backstreet Boys the perfect opportunity to let their polished voices shine, and it became one of their biggest hits. It memorably samples the Police classic "Every Breath You Take" and became a favored memorial track of the late '90s. Prior to 1995, Coolio was mostly known for lighter, more humorous hip-hop, which provided an alternative to West Coast gangsta rap. This tale about a girlfriend who "has a halo hanging from the corner" of her four-poster bed is instantly recognizable and memorable.

From a pop musical standpoint, the 1990s was one of the most eclectic, and the best songs of the decade still sound fresh today. The Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta was bombed during the Olympic Games in 1996, mad cow disease hammered Britain, 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was murdered, and the Unabomber was arrested. In March 1990, Gloria Estefan, her husband, and her son were all injured when a truck struck their tour bus.The humorous approach of Presidents of the United States of America stands out amid the onslaught of Seattle bands riding the wave of the grunge revolution. Amy Grant spent the 1980s as one of the most successful of the Christian pop singers, but not until 1991 did she enjoy a major crossover into the pop mainstream. This was one of the most joy-filled hits of 1990, an atmosphere further enhanced by the accompanying video. It's a hard-hitting, aggressive rap classic that brought together both rap and pop audiences and cemented LL's status as one of the top rap artists of all time. It was not really part of any album project but rather was added to the soundtrack album of "Dick Tracy.

There It Is)" could also be heard for many years as part of the soundtrack for breaks in sports events of all kinds.

I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" was originally released in 1988, but upon its inclusion in the "Benny and Joon" movie soundtrack, the energetic pop-rock tune became a '90s hit and is now a classic. Jimmy Eat World helped usher in emo music’s ascension within mainstream rock, and Pavement brought slacker cool to campuses across the country.The ska-punk-bound Smash Mouth burst into the spotlight with this catchy slab of '60s psychedelic soul. They helped interpolate the rich history of the genre with pop music, moving their way to the top of the charts as a result. And the style traveled across the globe, too: Though Radiohead were by no means a grunge band, songs like “Creep” helped popularize the genre in the UK.

Although many people remember the video for its sweet "dancing bee girl," the tune itself is much darker, outlining the efforts of bassist Brad Smith to cope with his girlfriend's struggles with clinical depression. With it, Springsteen creates an atmosphere of darkness and loneliness that still manages to maintain a sense of dignity. This heartbreaking song about the end of a longtime love affair is somewhat of a stylistic anomaly given the rest of No Doubt's ska- and punk-influenced work. As hip-hop was moving further into the mainstream, this group from Oakland distinguished itself by backing goofy raps with hot Parliament-Funkadelic-inspired funk.

Jonathan Demme's "Philadelphia" was the first big-budget, mainstream motion picture to deal directly with the AIDS epidemic, and "Streets of Philadelphia" is the perfect theme for it.

The attention of the world was riveted on her funeral, and Elton John reworked his song "Candle in the Wind" for the occasion. Nelson Mandela was elected president of South Africa in 1994 as genocide was occurring in another African nation, Rwanda.
