Office Debate: Best Band of the 90s....

[Chimera]

Ben Fold Five

Not good until they were just Ben Folds. imho.

[mmmbeans]

People pretty much nailed it so far (Radiohead, Rage, Pearl Jam, RHCP, Nirvana)

I'll add: REM & Morphine

I loved morphine but I honestly think cure for pain was their only really great album.

On a side note, not a great band but for my money Live "throwing copper" was a great album.

Nirvana

FWIW , I thought Third Eye Bling's 1 quality album in the 90's was damn good, but I don't consider them the best band of the 90's.

I really enjoyed that album and the Matchbox20 album but yeah they're aren't close to best band of the 90's imo. 3rd Eye Blind guy couldn't sing live either.

I also liked Tonic. They actually had 2 or 3 good albums. There radio stuff was some of their worst songs imo so if you haven't listened to them I recommend checking them out.

I'd support your original pick Dave Matthews. They weren't my favorite band but I did like them, everyone did. They had great talent and were very good live.

Yes it was.

I didn't mean to treat you bad

But I did it anyway

And now maybe

Some would say your life was sad

But you lived it anyway....

I got "throwing copper" as a gift before it hit the mainstream.

Pain lies on the riverside is an amazing tune, their best IMO

Haha seriously this chick gave it to me and I was like "Wtf, Live? who the bloody hell is that??"

she said they were about to hit it big and to check them out, she was right

[cookinwithgas]

That screams "We need a new Kurt Cobain STAT, whaddya got?" Again not bad, just not great. All bands on Unplugged kind of sounded like that.

[Squirrel]

Best thing about the 90's bands was the variety. To me that was the peak of music.

[boo7382]

lol I was a big fan of all the club music too b.c it was so big at that time

Groove is in the heeeaaarttt

[88 Bronco]

Pantera

[TerriblePizza]
