60 Songs That Explain The ’90s = Rpb Harvilla<\/p><\/div>\n

On January 1, 1990, I was 15 years old, a high school sophomore ready and willing, if not quite able, to take over the world.\u00a0 The music of the next decade is, primarily, the soundtrack of my life, even to this day.\u00a0 In his book 60 Songs That Explain The ’90s<\/em>, Rob Harvilla dives into, not necessarily the most successful songs of the decade, but certainly some of the most impactful, across the pop, rock, and hip-hop genres.\u00a0 He doesn’t go into the nitty gritty behind the crafting or recording of each song, but where it fell in the cultural zeitgeist and how they impacted the world, the scene, or maybe just his life.\u00a0 Songs like Doll Parts<\/em> by Hole, Vogue<\/em> by Madonna, It Was a Good Day<\/em> by Ice Cube, and Metallica’s Enter Sandman<\/em>.\u00a0 Fiona Apple’s Criminal<\/em>, with its suggestive video, to Wonderwall<\/em> by Oasis, whose Gallagher brothers remain at odds to this day.\u00a0 And, of course, Smells Like Teen Spirit<\/em>, Nirvana’s seminal hit that killed hair metal overnight and ushered in grunge and the so-called “alternative revolution” that ruled rock radio for much of the decade.<\/p>\n

These are the songs that got me through high school, college, and my earliest days in the real world.\u00a0 The songs I danced to at prom, rocked out to in the car after my friends and I got our licenses, and listened to on my way to and from work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
