Compared to the 80s, music in the 90s was equally good if not better. Artists let their imagination run wild -- that resulted in many memorable, bold and dark themed renditions. While the 80s were dominated by the cassette tapes, the rise of compact discs with better quality sound might have added fuel to music industry's growth engine in the 90s.
Enjoy the recollection.
