face it guys...the 90s sucked

VoicesCarry said:

we could add joey lawrence. He was a teenage icon.

VoicesCarry said:

Well Shania certainly re-shaped country music and made it more cooler

DavidEye said:

oh yeah. Whoops.

Why only solo artists though? I know u didn't ask the question, just curious?

jayaredee said:

Ok, so where is Garth Brooks? He certainly sold more than Celine

jayaredee said:

No,I was just thinking it would be better to "balance it out" a little bit.Here's my list...


Mariah Carey
Garth Brooks (I think he was the biggest-selling male artist of the 90s?)
Tupac (for the impact he had on hip-hop)

ask TonyVanDam

thesexofit said:

Yeah "you're still the one" is on there.
Seriously, this album was the "Thriller" of the 90s IMO.

I used to have a bug crush on Shania, she is gorgeous

But Mutt is the one pumping that gorgeous pussy night after night

Jeff Buckley
Kurt Cobain
Trent Reznor

I have to agree it has been a pretty dull decade, but maybe the 'Icon' ages are over. Maybe we're back in the 'van gogh' era, where true artists are hermits in the addic. personally I'd add Alan jackson...but I see why others might disagree.

But "My Heart Will go On" was the fucking anthem of the 90s along with Barbie Girl. Don't fuck with me Voices, i remember well that during class you held your heart while Celine was singing that lovely song.
It's a guilty pleasure of yours and you know it.

DavidEye said:

Why mariah carey? She is not an icon and has never had an impact like say shania had. But it is tough when its solo artists only. But really, mariah? Image wise she has no image. Icons need image I tell ya.

jayaredee said:

Did NOT need that image, thankyouverymuch.

jayaredee said:

Garth Brooks definitly...how could I forget?

He was 90's equivalent of Elvis

thesexofit said:

You just DON'T LIKE Mariah. Few of the people mentioned are icons, anyway.

thesexofit said:

Mariah Carey was the biggest-selling female artist of the 90s,and she spent most of the decade at the top of the charts.That alone makes her an obvious choice.Aand she can sing! Her icon status is unquestionable.

kev1n said:

Call me whatever, but i seriously cannot name 1 Garth Brooks song. Seriously

VoicesCarry said:

I have no idea how "Mutt" looks like, but he got to be quite a bit older then shania.Yesh shania is hot. But "man I feel like a woman" sucks. Funny as that song is mind.

kev1n said:

I'm not really into his music,but there is no mistaking his success in the 90s.

thesexofit said:

Mutt is repulsive and Shania knows it. But it's a small price to pay for worldwide fame and recognition.
Same goes to Celine and Rene

jayaredee said:

if tomorrow never comes...he wrote it! (yeah, it surprised me too)

jayaredee said:

Mutt can write good love songs and made shania. So love was born. As for rene? He must be worse then "mutt".

I had no idea "Mutt" wrote most her songs? Some producers just keep going.

Since you said that these have to be solo artists, here they are in this order:

1. 2Pac
2. Mariah Carey
3. Garth Brooks

Just missing the top three: Biggie Smalls, Alanis Morrisette, Celine Dion, Dr. Dre and R. Kelly.

While the artists I listed in the top three were the solo musical icons of the 1990's, this was really the era of groups like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Boyz II Men, En Vogue, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Wu-Tang Clan, Spice Girls, and later, the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync.

jayaredee said:

You and me both. But then, we don't listen to country bullshit.

VoicesCarry said:

LOL that's for sure

But watch out kev1n is here. we might offend him

DavidEye said:

icons need image. She has none. That really lets her down.

thesexofit said:

Mutt and Rene are both pushy stage fiances and they get married at the end for all their devotion.

Mutt writes the lyrics with Shania, but im sure he writes the melodies to all her songs

jayaredee said:

try harder mates...I'm not THAT easily offended...

jayaredee said:

I really don't think kev1n is offended by people not liking country music.

kev1n said:

I always thought you were a huge country music fan but your "favorite artists" in your profile states otherwise
