Best Bands of the 90's

[Hobgoblin]

I was a teen waaay back in the 1990's and have been trying to think of the best bands and songs of the decade. My taste is pretty varied, from Marilyn Manson to Garbage. Whats yours?

 

[Addendum]

For me, it's Dream Theater, Faith No More, Tool, and Opeth

Faith No More was formed in the early-mid 80's I believe...though they didnt get really big until 1990 or so...they did release albums prior to that. Same can be said about Dream Theater actually...

It depends on the criteria for a 90's band, whether or not the band could have released albums prior to the 90's.

I view the 90's as mostly a wastleand as far as my chosen form of music goes (metal).

Kyuss was around from about 90-95...and they released consistently good, or even great material. Some of the "great" bands were hit and miss, like Pearl Jam.

and oh yeah...Clutch ruled in the 90's...and they rule to this day.

Backstreet's Back Alright!

Wasn't that 90's ?

Right now, without putting much thought into it, I'd have to say Jawbreaker.

Even with thought the possibility of it being them is still very high.

 

[chrisfishlock]

Rage Against the Machine.

Agreed.


and its now 13 days until i see them

 

[Speedball]

Nsync!!!



No... joking.
Umm...Smashing Pumpkins is beginning to become one of my favs... Didn't like them that much before, but now I'm starting to get why they're great.

 

[jaguarr]

Soundgarden. Close thread.

jag

Weezer. The blue album and Pinkerton were in the 90's. And yes Jag Soundgarden also rocked.

 

[Heretic]

Weezer's Pinkerton album will surely go down as one of the great albums of that decade, and obviously had a huge impact on the music of the past few years (whether thats a good thing or not is up to you).

This will be sacrilege to some, but I think Rage Against The Machine's first album is absolute brilliance, followed by a series of directionless albums that followed the same basic blueprint over and over. Obviously they inspired much of the (very bad) metal of the 90's.

Soundgarden was formed in the 80's and they released several albums prior to the 90's (including their landmark cd Louder Than Love)...I think a lot of their best material went unreleased though. A B-sides collection of them with "Fresh Deadly Roses" and others would be outstanding. However, as much as I love the early stuff. I have a fondness for everything up through Badmotorfinger, but Superunknown is overhyped and not nearly as good as their others.

Again, this is all kind of up in the air without parameters...Black Sabbath released albums in the 90's and they are better than any band anyone will ever mention in any thread, ever, but obviously Sabbath isnt a 90s band. Going by that logic, most of the bands mentioned so far would also not be 90's bands.

And the only Sabbath albums from the 90s worth checking out is Dehumanizer and Cross Purposes.

Moist, LIVE, Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana

Moist, LIVE, Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana

How could I forget LIVE? Throwing Copper and Secret Samadhi are two cds I still listen to frequently.

 

[Dkim]

Oasis. :heart:

 

[Arc-Light]

NIN..............................you all can stop posting now it is over. Runner uppers go to Soundgarden, and Nirvana.

 

[Mr.Webs]

Wilco, hands down, best thing to come out of the 90's. Everything else I can pretty much just leave.

 

[Lord Valumart]

all i can think of are Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Travis...
