best rock group of the 90's?

[UpsideDownFlag]

Poll question: best rock group of the 90's?

my vote goes to the smashing pumpkins.

[arcos]

1. Dave Matthews Band n/t

[last_texas_dem]

2. Voted for Pearl Jam

But the Smashing Pumpkins, Soul Asylum, the Offspring, and (I'll probably get flamed for this) the Goo Goo Dolls are all up there IMHO. I like the Chili Peppers, too, but I don't think they really hit their stride until Californication which I think was released in '00.

[Merrick]

3. Tool. And you have Limp Bizkit but no Rage Against the Machine or

Alice in Chains or Radiohead? some poll.

[Parche]

4. yes

alice in chains

[VelmaD]

6. TOOL!

Agree with you 100 percent. Tool KICKS ASS!

[Cats Against Frist]

31. Limp Bizkit? What the fuck?

I was going to say "Tool," as well.

[solinvictus]

5. Nirvana

Period. "Nevermind" changed everything.

[liberalpragmatist]

7. How did Limp Bizkit make the list?!

[asthmaticeog]

8. Jeez...

No Fugazi, Hum, Monorchid, Jesus Lizard, Drive Like Jehu, Mercury Rev, Grifters, US Maple, Pavement, Space Needle...

[UpsideDownFlag]

12. this is why i wrote in "other"

[AntiCoup2K4]

9. Where the Hell is Soundgarden??

I loved all the "local" talent, and hate to vote against Nirvana or Pearl Jam, but let's get real.... Chris Cornell is easily the best hard rock vocalist since Plant in his prime.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. Can we forget about Limp Bizkit forever please

:puke:

[OneBlueSky]

11. I've never understood the attraction to Nirvana . . .

their main accomplishment seems to have been the creation of 243,715 Nirvana wannbes . . .

[mark414]

22. that should speak for itself

EOM

[Shoeempress]

13. Marylin Manson. Now they were pissed .

And I love anyone who hates religion almost as much as I do.

[freethought]

14. Another for 'Soundgarden'! And 'Alice in Chains'!

Lane Staley. R.I.P.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

15. Ash.

Oh, hang on. You mean best American band. Then it's clearly Sloan. :evilgrin:

[Emboldened Chimp]

16. Phish - The Most Important Band of the '90's

So sayeth Rolling Stone.

[Cats Against Frist]

32. Phish is my second.

[drumwolf]

17. My Bloody Valentine.

And I wouldn't have put Limp Bizkit or Korn on there. :puke:

[sendero]

18. I love MBV...

... but most of my love is reserved for "Loveless", I find their other recordings pale in comparison.

But hey, Nirvana is deified on the basis of one recording (Nevermind), so why not MBV? :)

[UpsideDownFlag]

27. i put them on there b/c they were popular towards the late 90's

that's all

there always other, lol.

[PittPoliSci]

19. DARKEST HOUR

Here's a sample lyric:

One nation, under the gun
Where forward thinking is shunned,
a morbid tradition,
archaic value system,
Where violence justifed,
Is just another pride,
One nation, under the gun!

[Merrick]

20. Neurosis

(I assume everybody who voted 'other' was thinking of this band)

[name not needed]

21. Soundgarden

[NashVegas]

23. The FIGGS!

There. I said it.

[mitchum]

24. Mogwai or My Morning Jacket

[enigmatic]

25. Uncle Tupelo

and it's not even close; "No Depression" is the greatest punk record of the 90's, too..

[DemWitch]

26. No N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees?

No Spice Girls? How can these outstanding musical talents not be included in this list?:silly:

[HEyHEY]

28. Gin Blossoms

It's a small cult of us who believe it to be so!

54-40 as well

[AbbeyRoad]

29. Weezer

There are also Radiohead and Oasis.

[cedahlia]

30. Pearl Jam

They changed my life...I was thirteen when Eddie Vedder and co. entered my world and opened me up to a whole new world of music. I mean, it was basically C & C Music Factory or some such nonsense for me before they came along, but then I woke up, and there was Nirvana, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Alice in Chains, Hole...I could go on and on. It's difficult for me to choose just one because they all had such an impact on me, but Pearl Jam is definitely closest to my heart.

Those were some great years for music. God, those were the days!!! What happened???

And who voted for Limp Bizkit? Is Fred Durst a DUer? :crazy:
