This anthology offers a definitive look at the 1990s music scene through the lens of Rolling Stone magazine. It compiles over fifty in-depth articles by renowned journalists such as David Fricke and Neil Strauss, covering pivotal moments and figures in music history. Highlights include the last major interview with Kurt Cobain, a 1993 feature on Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, and profiles of artists like Madonna, Guns N’ Roses, Eminem, and Britney Spears. The book also features rare photographs by acclaimed photographers and concludes with a curated list of the decade’s top 100 albums.
Structured into thematic chapters—ranging from grunge and hip-hop to pop and electronica—the collection provides a comprehensive overview of the era’s musical landscape. While it focuses primarily on mainstream acts, the quality of writing and depth of coverage offer valuable insights into the cultural shifts of the 1990s.
