The 90s started in 1986 when Aerosmith and Run DMC secured rap went "hard rock". It was the same time rap became something lasting, not just a short lived novelty.

Genesis's career started in 1991 when "I Can't Dance" secured Prog went "AOR". It was the same time Prog became something lasting, not just a short lived novelty.

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

There are no signs of prog on "I Can't Dance".

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

i think the word 'secured' has caused difficulties here.

Rap-rock is 00's.

The 90s started in 1990 when Paula Abdul and The Wild Pair secured rap went "cartoon cat friendly". It was the same time rap became something lasting, not just a short lived novelty.

The 60's actually lasted 27 years and didn't begin until 1973, so the reality of the situation is that the 90's isn't supposed to begin until 2009.

The 1990s started when Bret Hart pinned Ric Flair at a Toronto house show to win the WWF title in late 1993, thus kicking off the first era of non-muscleman babyfaces in American wrestling since the 50s.

the 90's started when Soul II Soul's 'Back To Life' used that soon-to-be ubiquitous "shuffle" drum beat.

Dunno, but the 00s have yet to start. They will not start until rap disappears.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

b-b-but what if rap never disappears, Geir?

― Space Gourmand (Haberdager), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 20:00 (nineteen years ago)

It will. At least to the same extent prog did in the late 70s.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 20:01 (nineteen years ago)

the two have entirely different markets, Geir. Rap is a very definite artistic mode entirely removed from the rest of rock. Prog is essentially the use of rock tropes and rock instrumentation to form a more complex, more structurally free-form version of rock. Rap, the delivery of words by a vocalist in a continual rhythmic flow, is its own form, and therefore cannot evolve like prog did (into AOR and then back into prog when all was quiet on the Western Front). It will never be extinguished as long as there are people (and there are many people) who appreciate that particular art form.

In the end of the 70s people suddenly wanted something simpler en rawer. Soon, people will suddenly want something less rhythm based and more melodic and harmonic again. Everything goes in cycles.

That LOL makes it a thing of beauty.

Joanna Newsom is kind of a rapper.

Joanna Newsom is my favorite rapper.
