Greta CavedonNegli scorsi articoli vi abbiamo raccontato delle Greatest Hits anni ’70 ed ’80 mentre, in questo articolo, vi voglio parlare delle Greatest Hits che hanno segnato gli anni ’90.
Negli anni ’90 ha spopolato il genere Eurodance, che ha contraddistinto numerose canzoni: “Scatman (Ski Ba Bop Ba Dop Bop)”, “Cotton Eye Joe”, “Barbie Girl”, “Witch Doctor” sono solo alcune parti della colonna sonora che mi ha accompagnato durante l’infanzia.
Probabilmente i nomi ora non vi diranno nulla ma, provate ad ascoltare e tutto vi sembrerà più chiaro.
Oltre a questa musica demenziale, anche artisti (dal genere leggermente diverso) quali: The Cranberries, Jarabe De Palo, Oasis, Enya, R.E.M., Red Hot Chili Peppers, Simply Red, Madonna, Skunk Anensie, hanno ampliato il panorama delle Greatest Hits anni ’90.
Quando ascolto questi brani, mi ritornano a mente i chilometri percorsi in auto con i miei genitori ed altri attimi di vita.
Spero riemergano tali ricordi anche a voi, riascoltando le Greatest Hits anni ’90 elencate di seguito.
