You know what I hated about the 90s (you young 'uns just wouldn't understand)? When you absolutely love a song, in my case, Michael Jackson's 'Stranger in Moscow' (and 'Earth Song' and 'You Are Not Alone' and 'Black or White' and 'Remember The Time' and... ) and you have to sit there and watch hundreds of other songs on The Box or VH1 or MTV (obligatory 'they-used-to-play-music-joke-that-isn't-and-never-has-been-funny') before the video rolls around again. The worst part was seeing the numbers pop up in the corner of somgs people were requesting and the number never corrospnding to a song I wanted. These days you have your YouTubes and whatnot. Back then... It was Hell.
But yeah, I absolutely freaking loved Michael Jackson in the 90s. I actually fell in love with his music because of albums like Jam and HIStory. I still remember being terrified by the video to Ghosts. It wasn't until I was in my early teens that I started listening to his 80s stuff. Another favourite was The Smashing Pumpkins, although, that may be misleading. I'm not really a fan of the Pumpkins, just that there are several songs of theirs that I absolutely love ('Cherub Rock', 'Today', '1979'). I only ever heard them because my dad listened to them in a vain attempt to feel young again.
To be honest, I was never truly aware of music in the 90s, if you know what I mean. There are a ton of songs I loved during the decade but I never really had favourite bands or artists too much. It was only in my teens that I started to pay real attention to music.
