Ill just say in advance that there are duplicate umages are some missing, i no, sry but i took me over an hour to do this, im not editing.

1990 and Vanilla ice in at the top of the Billboard charts, thats four years before im born (on July 2nd, 1994). As glad as i am i didnt grow up with the sense of fashion, music etc... That were and esential part of the 80's and early 90's, it was a nicer time. Though I may gag at what some of the people were wearing (see Vanilla ice in the first photo), you need to look at the lighter side. Though the Telletubies and Seaseme street

carried on well into the 2000's and are both still running, they just arnt what they were: Sesame street has gone from 1 hour of wonderful childhood entertainment to 45 minutes and 15 of a charming short entitled "Elmo's world". It is currently 30 minutes of cramed childhood bliss/happiness and if you have noticed you cant actually cram bliss into 30 minutes, just look at this definition from dictionary.com
bliss.. [blis] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
..noun
1. supreme happiness; utter joy or contentment: wedded bliss.
Look at wedded bliss, how would you feel having your wedding cramed into 30 minutes only to have a over-marketed, over-rated draged out obnoxoius corperate half-hour of "Elmo's World." Which has gone from a charming enjoyale show to a masacre of what was a great thing. Then you have Telletubbies the still completely lovable eternally wonderfulness that is four colurful creatures with television screens in the middle of the torso running around making sounds and not talking for half an hour. They however pour they remain are now rivled but a disgusting creation with a similar plot: none. Thats the problem, the Telletubbies had no plot so and there cuteness can not be repeated. Also they are not making new episodes, which is unfortunate but at least they are leaving a good thing be.
However to dwell on these subjects would be ever so lovely, ranting about seseme street and disecting telletubbies, i came here actually to talk about music and how its takend shape if the years. 1994 number one artist

Ace of base, a band personally i have not ever heard of, i was howerver at the time I was not paying attention to popular music. Lets look at the other years shall we*

1995, Coolio now we have all heard of him and he is far from fading into obscurity.

Los Del Rio, again I have not heard of them but other artists in the top 5 singles that year, 2 by Mariah Cary and 1 by Celine Dion. Like em or not they are still very much around.

1997, Elton John not exactly pop culture, but he's still there.
1998

Next, is not really still very big, but the quality of the music, R&B, hip-hop, rap and soul from they ninties has an eternal quality that i believe the current music lacks.

Cher, been around for ever and for better and for worse probably still will be around forever. Then things started to slip

Lifehouse "Hanging by a moment" hits number one, top played track on the radio stations and where is Lifehouse now. They had there third album released in 2005 but i think this band can be called some what of a one-hit wonder.

God, as much as Nelly is not what he used to be I still have some great memories about the song "It's gettin hot in here" nothing wrong dont worry just talking with an old friend thats gone now. That was another nice thing, but history will not look back at Nelly and put him down with a real place in history like the Wu-Tang clan.

50 cent, R. Kelly, Sean Paul and Beyonce, 1,2,3,4 on the charts. All respectful artist's in their own right and there music will undoubtly have a place in history but none the less is not solidified in pop culture. 2003, music has turned into hip-hop. Once it turned universly main-stream it just wasent pure, cuss words and people white and black in XXXXXXXXXX-large clothes was just as laughable as the fasion of the 80's and 90's, now, thank god it has been toned down.

2004 had 2 Usher tracks in the top 5 singles. Usher like, Nelly while a perfectly good artist will not be saved a place in history.

2005 and right there in the top 2 is Mariah Cary and Gwen Stefani. They may be remembered but nothing truely memerable about them, outside of the fact that they wont go the FUCK away! Which seems to be a reaccuring theme with the artist's in the 2000's is as long as they keep cranking out albums in which the media makes them look ganster, punk, sexy etc... they will continue to sell music. Now you but music because its cool not cause its good. Not anyone could blame you, even if you buy the good stuff or try, there isnt much... Anyway this was just a quick summery or music and life. Mainly I wish I was back in Kindergarten, at least I do a little anyway, I will leave you with these video's .. width="425" height="350">
..> Then there is this Dream Street video, which i didnt mention but they were around like in 99, 2000 i just found out about them today but anyway I found this on youtube and so the thanks at the end; go figure
