That is all mostly 80's music. The Police started in the 70's but got really big in the 80's.
90's was awful. Short of Soundgarden I can't think of one really great band of the decade. Nirvana? Although they were huge I never thought they were particularly good. Blind Melon and Sublime stand out for me as they were good songwriters but this is 2 or 3 bands out of 50 to 100 national acts. Music died in the 90's. The industry really tried in the 80's but was finally successful at killing creativity in the 1990's.
I still have a special place in my heart for NWA only because of how over the top it was. Between Slayer and NWA I love brutality in music and those guys nailed it.
You actually nailed the only band from the 90s worth listening to ... Soundgarden :-). No need to dig further. That's literally it :-). If they prove Chris Cornell was murdered by the DS, I know about 200 liberals that will want to kill whatever communist piece of shit was behind his death ... most of them women.
Thrash/speed metal and hardcore rap are one of the same ... that's why you liked both. It isn't so much the music itself, it's the messages behind the music ... its people saying things nobody wants to hear that are true (it's why I continue to love Megadeth ... Dave Mustaine is as based as they come and continues to kick ass to this day :-) ). It took me a while to see that. Rap is harder for me to digest since you need quality audio gear to "get" the breadth of the music (this assumes the rapper knows what they are doing ... like any genre of music, there's loads of garbage rap and metal out there ... you seem to have found the gems though and know what I am talking about :-) ).
I'm sure you heard of Ice T's metal band Body Count ... if not, check that out ... I think their first release was around 1991 IIRC. You might love their stuff ... I don't want to say its "crossover" metal/rap (like the stuff Anthrax was doing in the 90s ... Body Count is nothing like that), but Ice-T seems to add a kind of rap style with his vocals over a solid metal foundation. Cool stuff. He got a LOT of shit over his song "cop killer" ... however, the entire song was in reference to people that were literally murdered by police and covered up in plain sight.
There's a lot of great 80s hip hop too ... Melle Mel's "White Lines" is awesome as is Grandmaster Flash's "The Message". Check that stuff out if you get the chance :-).
Besides metal, thrash mostly but some black metal too, and very select ganster rap, Jazz is my only other true love. Thelonious Monk is my all time favorite and for more modern, Herbie Hancock.
I have heard Body Count and they are good. I like Ice-T and what he brings, his flavor is cool.
Not sure how you feel about Black Metal but Dissection is far and away the best of that genre in my opinion. Storm of the lights bane is an all time classic I would rate at the same level as Master of Puppets or even Reign in Blood. Lyrically I don't care but musically Jon Nodtveidt is a genius.
New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Michael Jackson, The Cure, Cyndi Lauper, The Police ...
Definitely great music!
90s, was when rap was coming out, yikes.

Alice in Chains was the best grunge band.

Guns N' Roses - mid/late 80's delight
90s Pantera was the Pinnacle of metal....Alice In Chains, Faith No More, Aphex Twin....
Don’t forget 90s country is awesome.
No opinion there. I like Johnny Cash and some other older stuff, but not familiar with 90's Country.
Twas the Garth Brooks era.
