Top Music of 1992
1. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
The emergence of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as a top 10 pop hit remains one of the most dramatic events in pop music of the 1990's. Kurt Cobain's sardonic view of teenagers set amongst a pop melody pounded out by drums and guitars bathed in fuzzed up distortion rattled the pop music establishment. It was all accompanied by a music video that presented a memorable and unrelentingly dark view of the classic school pep rally. Grunge had arrived! “Nirvana opened the door for other bands and created a fashion trend for their clothing style, worn plaid flannel shirts and stone washed jeans.”(20th Century Dress, Farrell-Beck and Parsons 247)
2. Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You. The female pop artists were portrayed in a sexualized manner. Sexy clothing exposing a lot of skin.
3. U2 - Mysterious Ways
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge
5. Wreckz - N - Effect - Rump Shaker
6. Michael Jackson - Black Or White
7. House Of Pain - Jump Around
