Pop in the 90's: Everything for Everyone

GEORGE STRAIT is a middle-aged country singer with an easy grin about him; even his boxed sets go platinum. Ice Cube is an intense rapper who began as a teen with the Los Angeles group N.W.A.; defying the expectation that rappers have short shelf lives, he has had hit records as a solo artist, with movie soundtracks and with a side band called Westside Connection. The Dave Matthews Band fills stadiums playing sweaty jam-rock for collegiate preppies.
