This. I feel like the early 90s are severely under represented.

Those bands are too big, so not the vibe I was going for.

That’s why I didn’t include “other” as an option, I also didn’t include Nirvana/PJ/Soundgarden/AIC/Smashing Pumpkins/Foo Fighters/STP/NIN, etc. That’s too easy.

Gin Blossoms have five legit bangers

Went to a casino in Atlantic City awhile back and they were scheduled to play at the House of Blues that night for like $30 a ticket. Guess no one though they were worth that so they instead just put the band on a stage adjacent to the casino floor and we sat there playing blackjack while the band played 50 feet away.

When I said “best,” I didn’t mean good.

Sixteen Stone is nonstop bangers

Middle/early high school Barca would answer Offspring but I celebrate them all.

Saw Live at a downtown festival with my freshman year gf. Saw MB20 with Eve 6 as the opener in like 97.

Lol, Matchbox 20 on a list of best 90s bands.

1 good song.

Live and Gin Blossoms are probably too good for this list. Replace them with 7 Mary 3 and Marcy Playground. You know, real crap.

I did hear that Soul Asylum were a pretty good band and that their one song, run away train, was very different than their usual stuff…but I never bothered to verify.

 

[TownieDeac]

Nobody else on the list has albums like Six Teen Stone or Throwing Copper, it’s one of those two.

I saw 7 Mary 3 at that same festival! Springfest was the home of bands who were several years past their primes like Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Filter, and Our Lady Peace.

Saw Smashmouth play All-Star publicly for the first time at Ziggy's. My friends HS Ska band opened for them, and it was maybe 2 weeks before Shrek came out in theaters.
