"Mainstream" music wasn't that bad for parts of the 1990s. All of these bands were popular sellers that still maintained at least some artistic integrity:
RHCP
Nirvana
Smashing Pumpkins
Dinosaur Jr.
Primus
Incubus
311
KoRn
RATM
Weezer
Green Day
The Offspring
Tool
Faith No More
Sonic Youth
(I make this list like once a month, don't I? You guys are probably really tired of me)
Also, plenty of great hip-hop during this time. And those are just the ones I like from my collection. There are plenty of others...
