Just from the list in 1997 compared to the list now, you can actually see how much music has changed. I remember when the Spice Girls blew up back then. They were everywhere! It was like the British Invasion all over again! They were like the female version of The Beatles. But music has definitely changed. Most of the music now focuses on materialism, egotism, sex, drugs, etc. They may have touched on some of these topics back in the day. But, just about EVERY song was not about those things. People actually sung about love, love lost, family, socially conscience issues, etc. Now, everything is all about, "Look at me, I'm better than you, I have more money than you, You're not on my level", etc. I miss music that had "genuine" meaning behind it.
