Best bands that were big in the 90's (pop, rock)

I voted for Nirvana.

I love the Chilli Peppers, but I'm voting for Nirvana. Pearl Jam...nothing but downhill after VS. Smashing Pumpkins, loved GISH, but they seemed to get softer and softer with every subsequent release.

I'm not a massive fan of any of them but from that list I'd go for Red Hot Chili Peppers. Breaking The Girl makes up for at least some of the rubbish they've released.

Well out of the choices I was given...Nirvana. But I think Collective Soul was better.

ew i have to disagree there, no way should collective soul be grouped in with those legendary 90s bands. i voted for Pearl Jam myself, they were just too much of a favorite for me as a teenager. especially Yield, easily a top mainstream record for the decade in that genre. the return of Jack Irons on drums gave the band a kind of a feel i havent heard from them since. everyone should watch Single Video Theory (the making of Yield)

i'm gonna go ahead and agree that Anthony Keidis (and Billy Corgan for that matter) are sub-par vocalists live tho their bands are both tight, eddie vedder tho not the most gifted singer can still nail most songs live.

however, recent contributions from all those bands have been disappointing IMO

but then again, i have very low expectations of bands that are clearly past their prime, tho many ppl i know seemed to rave about Stadium Arcadium and i just can't understand why, anyone help me out?

Hmmmm

Stadium Arcadium has too many midtempo tracks and, in the manner of U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind,

Some might argue comparing it to a U2 album (And a really bad one at that) cannot be considered a good review in whatever context it's taken.

The guitar work is worth raving about, but that'd be about it...
