Double J – The 90s: The Greatest Decade in Music?

Celebrating 90's month across Double J and triple j in June, 2017. We've handpicked a giant 4CD collection and download that showcases and celebrates the 90s.

To say it was all about the fuzzy guitars and fiery screams of grunge is to discount the slinky synths of West Coast hip hop and the thumping, anthemic big beats of the decade's best dance music.

The beauty of 90s music was both its diversity and the way artists took the styles of previous decades, refined them, then added a sonic dimension and attitude that matched both the optimism and, at times, despair of the decade.

Was the 90s really just one decade?

When you look at the 80 or so songs we've collected here, you realise it's just a snapshot of what was an explosive, diverse, and prolific era for music.
