Music is one of those little things of life we all love. As it is something that there is always time or need for. It can create tension in a movie, give more sense to the actions of Tom & Jerry, or simply cheer you up or be the background at a party.
And if music was iconic, maybe or the last time, was in the 90’s. The 90’s might sound not so far away. But when you realize that there have been 20 years, that is when you start asking questions about your life. Not only this decade left us some questionable fashion trends, but it also gave us some music legends and anthems. That for many formed their musical taste.
