Lemme think,
Yes, had my puppy crush in Michael during Bad. I mean, Bad, Man in the Mirror, Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal are iconic

But the nan was always big, it's hard to define 1 or 2 eras.
Whitney Houston: yes but already before with I wanna Dance with Somebody and then I will always love you just exploded.
Nirvana: I like Nevermind but I became a stan towards the end, winter of 1993. Teenage winter depression made me listen to their songs more and well...just 4 months later Kurt shot himself.
Tupac: Also towards the end, somewhere in the summer of 1996 I watched Poetic Justice and at the time California Love was a big hit and I started to listen to more of his things, How do you Want it, Dear Mama, Keep your head up....and a few weeks later he was shot
I hope Gaga stays safe cause my track record aint the best
