Odd he didn't mention GY!BE though

Anyhow, my choice would be Moist

I suppose Godspeed shouldn't be confined to the alternative genre as they don't necessarily follow many conventions of the genre.

Rage Against the Machine. ;)

Linkin Park, formed in California 19968)optiow

In Flames

Alice in Chains is not alternative, and Pearl Jam isnt either and I wouldnt call Nirvana alternative....but o well

I am very glad to see The Smashing Pumpkins up there.

They are with out a doubt the best, though Radiohead fans will argue with me. :P

Linkin Park is the coolest thing ever to come out of Agoura Hills, but it's NOT a 90s band.

I was never a big smashing pumpkins fan. I liked Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness though. I put The Furry animals on my list: Radiohead are good too but not one of my favorites.

And I didn't see SFA until you mentioned it my mistake. However i can make a huge list with bands you dont have on there, our taste varies quite a bit.

I find the lack of Radiohead in this thread disturbing, the best band of the 90's by far...

Creed.

I'm going with Pavement.

[QUOTE="DamianAlexander"]

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"] I find radioheads 2000's albums and work much better than their 90's attempts.

mexicangordo

OK Computer is one of the best albums of all time.

Some of their best work is on that album:

• Airbag
• Subterranean Homesick Alien
• Exit Music (For A Film)
• Electioneering
• Climbing Up The Walls
• Lucky
• The Tourist

Kid A is only second to OK Computer to me.

I just don't like the album to put it bluntly :P

Kid A is another album i find overrated however, i do appreciate what it's trying to do and have nothing against that album

[QUOTE="DamianAlexander"]

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"] I disagree, I think its one of the most overrated albums of all time. But I can see how many would give it the praise that it gets. Amnesiac, Hail to the theif, In Rainbows>>>>Ok Computer by far imo.

Maybe one of these days you'll listen to Amnesiac and In Rainbows and those albums will truly "hit" the spot for you:P

For me either Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, or Pearl Jam.

Listening to Kurt sing in nirvana always makes me sad. I Will always wonder what could've been after In Utero:cry:

[QUOTE="DamianAlexander"]

[QUOTE="mexicangordo"]Again I disagree.... I can't connect with that album. Its far to distant, which is ironic because thats the atmosphere it trys to convey; a desolate and hopeless fantasy land, that everyone moves so fast yet "he" fails to move at all.

You don't know me but I'm a die hard Radiohead fan. The only album I dislike is Pablo Honey.

The 90's was such a great decade musically, my favorites are:

1. Nirvana

2. Soundgarden

3. Rage Against the Machine

4. Stone Temple Pilots

5. RadioHead

6. Beck

7. Alice in Chains

8. Pearl Jam

9. Pantera

10. Red Hot Chili Peppers

11. Nine Inch Nails

12. Foo Fighters

13. The White Stripes

14. Blind Melon

15. The Black Crowes

16. Weezer

I'm going with Pavement.

joesh89

I never understood the appeal of this band, but that's just me.

For me, I think the best alternative acts of the 90s were Lush and My Bloody Valentine.

Pavement. :Dt3hrubikscube

I always think of them as an '80s band even though I know they only spent one year in that particular decade. I guess I just get this sort of Thelonious Monster '80s vibe off of them for some reason.

As for me...gosh there were quite a few bands from lot of differing little sub-genres weren't there? One of my top picks would be Versus whom I still listen to on a regular basis. As far as big acts go I was quite impressed with the solid output from Nirvana and Smashing Pumpking despite Billy Corgan's slow descent into megalomania. But really there were quite a few folks that put out solid efforts in the '90s like PJ Harvey, Afghan Wigs, Red House Painters, Sebadoh, Bjork, Sonic Youth, Tori Amos, The Pixies, Tori Amos, Lush, Garbage, blah blah blah.

Slayer

ber4fun

Sum 41!!!!

I want to make their babies.

For me either Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, or Pearl Jam.

Listening to Kurt sing in nirvana always makes me sad. I Will always wonder what could've been after In Utero:cry:

xXTalismanXx

i agree. oh what i would give to have just one more studio album from nirvana. "you know your right" was a great blend of nevermind and in utero sound. i would love to have had an entire album like that.
