Honestly, if your going by this, each decade had it's fair share of superstars in each genre. Any of us can easily insert the same amount, if not more, superstar artists in each of your categories. And some decades didn't have any superstars in certain genres because the genre didn't exist.

Furthermore, a good number of the artists you listed had as good as if not bigger hits in the 80s. And a good number of them started in the 80s. Same can be said about a good number of 80s artists starting in the 70s, and so on.

IMO: I liked 90s music, but the whole "woe is me" sound started to get old by the mid 90s. There's a reason country had a huge success in the 90s with probably more fans than ever before.......
