Who is Your Favorite Nineties Band/Artist from America?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. mchavez11 (653)   ranked 86 out of 2,055 in music lover 4 years ago

Remembering the nineties is one remarkable moment for music. At least it catered to a lot of new and fresh musicians that helped shaped this generation. I consider myself as a part of that genre, it was the time of my adolescent years in music and subculture. There are bands that really influenced and inspired me during that time up to this day like for instance "The Lemonheads" - a band from boston that gives a superb definition of cool style and music. Others are "Gin Blossoms", "Rancid", "Green Day", "Spin Doctors", "Counting Crows", "Sponge" and a lot more.
How about you? Can you name a band or some artists that you like during those times? Whether you came from that genre or just diggin some inspiration and studying some roots of the current artists that you like. Name one or a couple?

Well, of course there are the big three that basically created the grunge genre of the '90s, those being Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam; I like them all. Another favorite that I am still really into today is Silverchair - they were just 15 when they started out in 1995, and they used to get compared to Nirvana all the time! That was the era of Guns-n-Roses and Metallica as well, and The Offspring. There really were a lot of good bands in the 90s, and most of them are still rockin' it today!

Was Silverchair not from Australia? Anyway, I liked that band, too. The frontman Jonathan something was a cutie.

I grew up in the 90s myself and still listen to the music of the bands that defined that era like Nirvana, Pearl Jam (did you listen to Eddie Vedder's music in 'Into the Wild'? really awesome), Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, 311 and so many more. I'm so proud I grew up in the 90s, the music wasn't bad, either. =)

I, too, love the Gin Blossoms. They were awesome.

AFI was one of my favorites when they started in 1994 and still are today.

Counting Crows I still like but I think they were better earlier on. "A Murder of One" is still my favorite song of theirs.

Weezer. Actually, my friends and I have a group of heavily influential bands that are still making music that we call the Class of '94 because that's either when they put out their first album or their break out album. The Class of '94 includes AFI, Rancid, Weezer, Green Day, Soundgarden, Offspring...I can't think of the others right now.

And of course Nirvana. It might be cliche but they shaped so much of today's music that it's impossible not to mention them.

i'm still stuck in the 90s. or more specifically, noise rock. as always, my favourite band is helmet, but i just checked out the entire unsane discography very recently. as well, there's the amphetamine reptile catalogue that i'm trying to track down - a lot of which is difficult to get ahold of. and who could forget the jesus lizard? then of course, there's mr. bungle and the dillinger escape plan (who count because they put out their first full length in '99). of course, how can anyone forget about king missile or the fun lovin' criminals - both of whom had great novelty hits.

i guess you could say that my music collection is pretty much a compendium of everyone who was putting music out during the 90s. there's something that seemed more experimental in those days, even with the bands who i might not have really been into.


myLot reputation of 94/100. mchavez11 (653)   ranked 86 out of 2,055 in music lover  4 years ago

Your list is absolutely comforting. Excellent preference you got here. I like Jesus Lizard too and helmet. Of course, the Pixies as well. Great era.

I absolutely love counting crows, and they are still around and releasing new stuff. Going to see them next month =] Even though i was quite young in the 90s (born 1992) the music is very relevant to me currently. Love it =]


myLot reputation of 94/100. mchavez11 (653)   ranked 86 out of 2,055 in music lover  4 years ago

Oh cool. Do they still sing their old songs?..I'm glad you like the 90's. Great era for new music.


georgiasupergirl (47)  4 years ago

i hope so=] they also change their songs up a bit at gigs, giving them extra/alternate verses and stuff. i do like loads of 90s music, though=]

I agree, he led the revolution in changing the course of rock music. He's just destined to die to remain the fire burning. Better to burn out than to fade away.

i guess the nineties had Pearl Jam written all over me. I really a huge fan to this band. The grunge and alternative takes over this decades. Quite a few band from this era are still in the scene.Nirvana and Soundgarden are also in my fav list.
