Music has been an important and influential factor of America’s growth. Sometimes it’s nice to step back and look at where we’ve been to see where we’re going. Let’s have a throwback, shall we?

The ‘80s music scene was compiled of some of the most notorious artists, such as the late Prince, the iconic vogue queen, Madonna and of course, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. That time was soon followed up by the grungy high-fashioned ‘90s. When the ‘90s came we had top hits from the alternative band Nirvana, the Spice Girls and do-it-all Mariah Carey. Here are some of those ‘80s/’90s hits:
