robert palmer forecast/mirrored mid 70s to 90 as well as you could, but i don't know that he sums up?

"papa's got a brand new bag"

i mean, i can hear the beatles and miles davis and the who and the four tops and the supremes and the shangri-las and bob dylan and so much more inside those two minutes.

Alanis Morisette for the 90s.

That's a ____________ choice. (Fill in some word that never turns up in real conversation, just on an Alanis Morissette lyric sheet.)

I still believe the eighties were never more distilled down into one song/video more than in this example

Kanye nails the second half of the 00s imo.

Honestly all of the aughts, especially if you include production work

The entire '90s are obviously contained within Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe.

Haribo Hancock (sic), Monday, 8 January 2018 09:47 (six years ago) link

20s: Louis Armstrong's Hot Five & Hot Seven

nicky lo-fi, Monday, 8 January 2018 16:07 (six years ago) link

90s definitely some risible dance/heavy rock crossover like Apollo 440's 'Ain't Talking About Dub'.
