Red Hot Chili Peppers, Goo Goo Dolls, Nirvana, Green Day, Mariah Carey, Notorious B.I.G., Billy Ray Cyrus, Backstreet Boys… the list goes on. Meet all the 1990s' essential musical artists in one insightful volume.
During the 1990s, musical genres became more commercialized than ever—and that was just one of the many changes that characterized the decade. Music of the 1990s offers a detailed and wide-ranging view of the important music of the '90s, identifying the artists and the important compositions—popular, classical, and jazz—that helped shape the period. The book focuses on key artists in specific genres in popular music, including pop, hard rock/heavy metal, rock, and country. Specialized genres are examined as well, in a chapter that discusses prominent artists and composers in musical theater, jazz, popular Christian music, and classical music.
Among other topics, the book looks at the growth of urban-based rap and other popular music in the context of the rise of music television. Hard rock and heavy metal are also examined within the music video idiom. New trends in mainstream rock and country music are explored as well.
Thomas Harrison, PhD, is associate professor of music business and recording at Jacksonville University, Jacksonville, FL.
