Musically, the second half of the 1980s was dominated by good but often slickly produced pop music and hair-metal.
Towards the end of the decade, however, a counter-noise began to develop, which became increasingly prevalent in the 1990s.
Spearheaded by grunge and alternative bands like Weezer, The Manic Street Preachers, Oasis, Soundgarden, Faith No More, Live and The Cranberries, as well as 'older' stalwarts like R.E.M., Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Iggy Pop, alternative rock music was back in the spotlight on radio and in the charts.
The new double LP 90's Alternative Collected features 26 of these bands and artists who reinvigorated music in the 1990s.
