RATM is/was a good 90's band.

my bloody valentine

80's.

Mothermania

gogo Jersey ska

Loveless=1991

Oomph! of course :)

Toadies
Primus
Nirvana
Soundgarden
Tripping Daisy
Pearl Jam

This Is Your Bloody Valentine=1985
Isn't Anything=1988



My Bloody Valentine=80's

There's no real set criteria for what qualifies as a 90 band in this thread. So I am now going to set it.

Band that formed in the 90s and released at least 1 album in the 90s.

my favs are:
1-nirvana
2-pearl jam
3-foo fighters
4-soundgarden

Smashing Pumpkins, Blur

But what about bands that formed in the 80's yet released their best material in the 90's?

If that's the case, my top 10 would be:

1. Smashing Pumpkins
2. Pearl Jam
3. My Bloody Valentine (80's/90's whatever!)
4. Pantera
5. Placebo
6. Nirvana
7. AFI
8. At The Drive-In
9. Machine Head
10. Tool

^^

so that ruins my Pumpkins pick

Smashing pumpkins
sonic youth
nirvana (duh)
Placebo

I dont follow his rules. My definition of a good 90's band is a band that released good music mostly in the 90's. Simple as.

1. Rage Against The Machine
2. Nirvana
3. Nine Inch Nails

Dig
Civ
Quicksand
Jane's Addiction
Helmet
And pretty much all the seattle bands...

Nirvana
Weezer
Stone Temple Pilots
Alice In Chains

Well crap thats awfully specific, a lot of the 90s most relevant artists formed in the 80s.

My picks

Nirvana
Bjork
Radiohead
Smashing Pumpkins
Primal Scream
Beck
Pearl Jam
Red Hot Chili Peppers
My Bloody Valentine
Janes Addiction
Flaming Lips
Blur
Rage Against the Machine
Portishead
Massive Attack
DJ Shadow
Elliott Smith (STFU Ethan)
Pavement
Air
Tool
Slint
Fugazi
Dr. Dre
Alice In Chains
Mr. Bungle
Ozric Tentacles (best prog band of the 90s? They got my vote)
PJ Harvey
Soundgarden
A Tribe Called Quest
Yo La Tengo
Primus
Wu Tang Clan
Pantera
The Verve
Phish
Incubus
Spocks Beard
Wilco
Company Flow
The Melvins
Pixies
Sonic Youth
Public Enemy
Foo Fighters (Colour and the Shape was good at least)
Weezer (whatever Ethan The Blue Album is awesome)
U2 (if only for Atchung Baby)
Other stuff

To sum it up. My taste is way too undiscriminating for its own good.

Collective Soul...followed extremely close by Third Eye Blind.

Third Eye Blind prob. I listened to them none stop. (They are really good live too!) Alice in Chains, STP, and so on and No worries to who ever said Toad the Wed Sprocket...Your not the only fan!

The Magnetic Fields, Red Hot Chili Peppers

If its not secluded just to bands in the rock and metal genre,

I'd say The Magnetic Fields, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Radiohead

Well, although Muse was around in the 90s, I will have to say Foo Fighters.

Probably Pavement. They released all of the material during the 90's, and all 5 albums were solid. 3 of the 5 albums were exceptional, and 1 of them (Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain) was a masterpiece. Their last two were good, but not on par with the others.

Blind Melon
Gin Blossoms
Live

Nirvana for me, they had a very heavy impact in the 90's.

Yes i suppose that would be true.

*favorite* According to Ethan's formula they're not a 90's band though. :crazy:

Who died and made him God ?
I still say Primal Scream and I couldn't give a flying **** if they formed in 1982 or not.

I was totally being serious.

and?

Well some sort of criteria needed to be set up because this thread was pretty poorly made. I mean people were mentioning bands that released like...one album in 1990.

The Foos released three albums in the '90's, which contained hits such as "Monkey Wrench", "Everlong", "Learn To Fly", and "My Hero", in case that was aimed at me.

I 'll choose Radiohead

Pearl Fucking Jam!!!!!

Cake, Vertical Horizon, or RATM. Kinda all over the board with that one I suppose.

Stone Temple Pilots
Pearl Jam
Nirvana
Live

Well...
Radiohead
Alice In Chains
Nirvana
Soundgarden

There's less then I thought it would be.
