The decade that started with the dance sounds of Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson quickly morphed into the grunge rock sounds of Nirvana and Pearl Jam.  Across The Charts: The 1990s documents in great detail, all the different sounds of the day as listeners became more focused when it came to their favorite music.   Whether you love the traditional pop sounds of Mariah Carey and Celine Dion, the cutting-edge rock of R.E.M. and U2, the smooth R&B sounds of Boyz II Men and Toni Braxton, the neo-traditionalist Country of Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson, or the emerging “boy band” style of The Backstreet Boys and Hanson, then this is this book is for you!
