Non è eccessivo definire i Novanta l’ultimo grande decennio della musica contemporanea. Sono stati gli anni del brit pop, del grunge, dei Massive Attack, dei Chemical Brothers, dei Radiohead e Jeff Buckley, ma anche di 2Pac e Notorious B.I.G. ed Eminem.
Una decade in cui anche quelli che la storia della musica l’avevano già fatta hanno dimostrato di avere ancora assi nella manica. Da Bob Dylan a Neil Young, da Robbie Robertson a Bruce Springsteen e David Bowie.
Qui sotto, trovate 90 ALBUM che hanno definito in maniera indelebile il sound di quel periodo e della generazione che l’ha vissuto.
Buona lettura e buon ascolto!
