So this week American Idol has done 80s music. last week it was 70s and the week before 60. Unfortunately, we probably won't get 90s music, but really, I am not sure what they would have done. Grunge? Rap? Boy Band stuff? Pop Girl stuff?
But I loved the 90s music scene. We had the rap wars with Biggie and TuPac with Jay-Z at the end. We had Nirvana and Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. (PS, I think Nirvana's place in history will forever he propped up because he killed himself when they were so popular and never had a chance to break up or come down from the higher level they were on).
We had Bush and Smashing Pumpkins. We had N*Sync and Mandy Moore. Celine Dion and Shania Twain were big.
But the biggest most successful band....The Zack Attack. Friends Forever is a song that I will not soon forget. And with Screech, Kelly, Zack, Slater, and Lisa Turtle rocking out, how can you go wrong? I am glad the group did its best to leave out Jessie and her potential drug problems from the group. That was drama the group just didn't need. It is a shame though that the band wasn't actually real. As popular as that show Saved by the Bell was, I imagine that band REALLY could have made some money. But then, the more I think about it. It probably wasn't them singing and playing the music.
Nevermind.
Top song of the 90s....Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit. I have never seen the 20-1 on VH1, but that HAS to be #1. Nirvana WAS the band of the 90s and that was their best song. I don't want to be like the Heisman voters here and give it to the best song from the best group (Troy Smith two years ago from tOSU) but SLTS was #1.
