Come on.....the Spice Girls didn't float your boat?  They were great. That late 90s pop is underrated.

 

 

Some more 90s girl power....

Spice Girls? No. 

 

Love that song by Robyn though. 

 

I would actually like to see the Britney Spears residency here (it gets awesome reviews) but the tickets were a bit too high for me to justify if I recall.

Madonnas new album is awesome. I love this song.

Fun, fun, fun, fun!

That Robyn songs one of my favorite hits from that era. Brings back lots of great memories.

 

 

Liz Phair deserved a much better career. Its a crime that the album that put her on the map(Exile in Guyville) did not have a hit on it. Had Supernova been on Guyville she would have been massive. The media was just begging to turn her into a star but she just didn't deliver. The fact that she suffered from a major case of stage fright did her no favors either.  That self titled album she did in 2003 hoping to become the next Sheryl Crow was pathetic. Too little too late Liz.

 

Guyville considered one of the greatest albums ever made but it lacks a great song to pull listeners in. That's a strange album. I kind of feel sorry for her because she had no idea that the world was going to react to that debut album. It shows. Whip Smart is good as well but you can tell she's trying to create a hit to match the hype. She got that hit but her moment was already passing.

 

There was a killer chick movement going on in the mid 90s  that didn't gain much traction. Handful of hits but faded rather quickly Here's another band that like Liz deserved more.....

Not 90s but I had to post this. Was just watching some of her videos and had forgot how killer this was....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other than Madonna's Like A Virgin, I think that's as close as the world ever got to the female Thriller. Shania and that album were just everywhere back then. Its bat shit crazy that was 13 years ago. Holy hell.

 Just checked her album sales and technically Come On Over sold a few million more than this album did. Maybe so but I still think this one made the bigger pop culture splash. Having said that, that one was everywhere too.

She also had one of the best SB performances ever. Hurry and bring her back before she's too old for anybody to give a shit.

I'm not sure if this is specific to a certain genre. I loved this song/album back in the day. 

 

[Adolf Hitler]

Liked them as well. Put them in the category of more deserving bands with Elastica, Veruca Salt, etc. Elastica made the colossal mistake of not really pushing their debut here in the US. They toured here a bit but when Connection was moving up the charts they should have been pounding the pavement here. Inexcusable although Justine was so strung out on heroin I guess we're lucky we got anything. 

 

Their album The Menace is THE blueprint for the Chinese Democracy fiasco. Said this those first few years of waiting and 8 or 9 years ago some journalist finally made the connection. The only difference is the CD wait was longer and instead of milking it, Justine said fuck it all and walked away. Never came back either.

one more thing about Shania...

 

She is really lucky there was never a career ending backlash. She was so goddamn hot and the songs so insanely catchy that she got a free pass. Her songs are so contrived. She was Mutt Lange's puppet. People knew this but they didn't really care.

 

 

She's went 13 years without an album. She is no longer with Mutt. Coincidence?

[Adolf Hitler]

If you ever hear a Shania fan deny this hand em a copy of Hysteria.  Hysteria, Come on Over, and Up are interchangeable.

There's not a thing I like in this thread, so I'm gonna up its rock value:
