Audioslave and Incubus aren't bad either.
I'd consider Jagged Little Pill more straight-up pop with a post-grunge facelift to draw in the wrist-cutting teen girls. Power pop might actually be a better classification. But since post-grunge sucks and Alanis rules, I say go for it.

And as far as no wave...

1. James Chance and the Contortions - Buy
2. Swans - Filth
3. Sonic Youth - Confusion Is Sex
4. Glenn Branca - The Ascension
5. Mars - 78
6. Teenage Jesus and the Jerks - Everything
7. DNA - A Taste of DNA
8. No New York (actually a live studio compilation of the Contortions, Teenage Jesus, Mars, and DNA, but it's a legendary document of the genre, so I'd say it's required.)


That's pretty much the extent of my knowledge, as it was a pretty small, short-lived scene, with most bands never even putting out a proper album.
