The Time Machine heads to 1990 this time. Public Enemy released probably the most important album of the year. The most famous person in America was probably Madonna; she struck the voguing pose in 1990. Jane's Addiction were becoming the icons of the alternative nation. Sinead O'Connor covered a Prince song to huge success. Nelson Mandela was released from prison in South Africa after 27 years.
