The not being able to choose between Celine Dion and Tupac for the 90's while also accusing everyone of having tastes that were too white was pretty great.

One was a massive pop star and the other was, possibly the biggest rap star of the decade. I spent that entire decade living in two mid-sized Kansas cities. You couldn't turn the radio on in the 90's without hearing Celine. Even before Titanic and the Falling Into You albums she was the queen of one huge hit per album, we were learning Celine songs in French class in 1992.

I didn't really listen to Tupac until I got to Manhattan but I don't think there was one single time that I went out that i didn't hear at least one Tupac song. IMO he was much bigger than Biggie, Snoop, and Dre. I preferred Snoop but I think pac was the bigger star. That being said my wife grew up in upstate New York and she didn't know Tupac at all. She knew all of the Bad Boy guys and Wutang. I didn't know anything about wutang until Chappelle's Show, although I did know ODB.

Because Pac didn't differentiate himself enough from other rap stars of the decade I probably should have picked Celine but rap in the 90s should have been represented because of the overall cultural influence. Same could be said for Nirvana but I didn't want to pick a group that was a shooting star, but for only 2 years. But they were the unquestioned kings of 90s alternative which, like rap, was highly culturally significant.

That's fair. Certainly her most popular single was in the 90's, but for me her best work came in the 80's. She had very little impact after I Will Always Love You and that was in 1992. She had some good singles after the bodyguard soundtrack but I doubt many remember them. Heartbreak Hotel? It's Not Right but It's Okay?

Clams your list is crap, but this is an amazing thread topic. I could spend the rest of my life talking about it.

i have been marinating on this thread for probably 6-7 months. 
it's really tough because there's so much music, good music.

Adele is awesome but she can't even be a top female pop artist of the '10s ahead of Taylor Swift, Gaga, Bey, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, and if she doesn't get back in the studio she's going to get passed by Camilla Cabillo.

She's in a group of artists like Alicia Keys, Annie Lennox, The Dixie Chicks Santana, John Mayer, etc. Artists who were immensely talented, more so than their contemporaries, and they had awesome commercial success, just not as much commercial appeal as their slightly less talented, but more popular peers.

when artists are under consideration for my list, i think about those who did something to move things forward or had a substantial impact on at the time.   

adele is great but she's not different than a lot of great singers who have done the same thing as she's doing

I place a high value on innovation, too. Like, I hear Michael Bublé and think it's a guy trying to sound like Frank Sinatra. Why don't I just listen to Frank Sinatra instead of a guy trying to sound like him???

Kenny Rogers has a very distinctive voice that sounds rough ridin' great. I always thought The First Edition was kind of an experimental band, too.

One of my child hood friends from Iowa had a dad who played with Kenny for a bit, before he (friends dad) went into gospel music and started his own label. Had a ton of pictures of him and KR. Was pretty cool to see.  :thumbs:

Sonically and innovations wise the 80's are light years ahead of the 70's, just like the 90's are way ahead of the 80's. I think the 70's have a defining sound, the decades that follow do not.

Agreed. I bungled that post, what I'm essentially saying is that the 80's was the first decade when popular music had widely varying styles and genres. The next two decades built on that.

Rap was non-existent in the 60's and 70's. I'm not wild about 80's music myself but if you're a rap fan I don't know how you discount a decade that produced N.W.A, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, Salt-N-Peppa, DJamer Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Too Short, Kid-n-Play, etc. Rap has evolved twice over but the 80's were an amazing start to the genre.
