Elvis? lol

And Queen is a step below the Beatles and MJ as far as generational performers go. Zeppelin would probably be better.

I don't know if I'd include Celine in that list. For the most part I think the majority of her so called fame during the 90s was due to the Titanic Soundtrack.

I'm sure someone will list a dozen of other Celine songs, but I couldn't be bothered to care. Mariah Carey could be a contender. She did have that Christmas Album in 94, along with multiple other hits.

Lil Wayne and Drake

90s definitely belonged to kurt cobain.

Late 90s/2000s had Justin Timberlake if you count Nsync with him. He's on par, in relation to overall artists of that era, to the people mentioned in the topic.

The explosion of TV, a narrow musical landscape, marketability and of course talent.

It was a perfect storm.

Not to mention they evolved incredibly well.
