Some of those bands have shaped the new music we listen to today others stick out in our old CD towers like a pink tutu hanging in a closet of denim and flannel. A fistful of trends, movements, and styles have emerged and faded over those two decades. Some are still capable of turning the music world on its head others are out there reminding us that they, too, once shook the world if only for a moment. If you look through this list, some of these acts are no longer together – or find themselves somewhere in the rinse-and-repeat cycle of breaking up and reuniting – and others are no longer with us period. It’s far longer than the average band lasts. Two decades might be even longer in music industry terms. They’re old enough to be grandparents now, though, and have moved on to hollering at me for other things. My parents, god bless them, used to yell at me to turn down a number of the songs on this list.
I’m not a baby anymore either, though the baby fat and thin hair have started to come back.
It’s nearly two-thirds of my lifetime, meaning I was a young teen consuming radio-friendly fare as readily as vending machine potato chips and candy bars back in 1997. Only in the scheme of cosmology, geology, or evolution does 20 years not sound like an awful long time. This month, we dial it back to the top 50 songs of 1997. Decades, presented by Discogs, is a recurring feature that turns back the clock to critical anniversaries of albums, songs, and films.
