Best 90s Band

[member 151739]

No, that would be your opinion

I see. What you say is fact and what I say is opinion. Awesome how that works.

 

[aufheben]

Fugazi or At the Drive-In for me.

Such a good choice, even though my favorite albums by them came out in 1989 and 2001.

I didn't compare one band to another.
It is fact that Tool are good musicians and good lyrically.

It isn't fact that N sync is better than Pantera, that is an opinion.

And if you honestly believe that.

Such a good choice, even though my favorite albums by them came out in 1989 and 2001.

Red Medicine and In On the Kill Taker are probably my two favs, but still, during the 90s they put out 5 great albums, not counting the two you referenced outside of the 90s. Tough to beat that output.

 

[Esq]

You missed the best one: Oasis

 

[lethargytartare]

Central PA Hawk Fan noted GOAT.


FWIW, Loveless is like...the greatest album ever.

agreed.

 

[LordKOTL]

Very subjective on this. For one, do you define this as bands who had some of their best work in the 90's? or bands that started in the 90s?

On the list I chose AiC.

Anyhow, my take: Top 10 bands who *started* in the 90's and had good works in the 90's: (Higher number better)

1. Arch Enemy
2. Cubanate
3. Body Count
4. Hanzel und Gretyl
5. Ulver
6. Hypocrisy
7. Prodigy
8. Moonspell
9. Strapping Young Lad
10. Children of Bodom

And Top 10 bands who had some of their best work in the 90's but formed before: (Higher number better)

1. Alice in Chains
2. Sepultura
3. Weird Al
4. Exodus
5. Danzig
6. Ministry
7. KMFDM
8. Samael
9. Skinny Puppy
10. GWAR

C.O.B. and SYL are a couple more bands that I agree on for sure.

I dont think you know what facts are.

How so?

 

[CPHawksFan]

Surprised no one has mentioned DMB

Not that they are my favorite or anything, but they were huge in the 90's.

 

[Nothingman*]

DMB was kind of pop to me.

 

[CPHawksFan]

DMB was kind of pop to me.

Yeah but the thread title isn't "Best 90's Hard Rock/Alternative Band"

 

[Nothingman*]

True. But DMBis pretty weak.

 

[Qubax]

Not sure this has been mentioned, but Third Eye Blind

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

How so?

Because words like good are subjective? Is this really your argument?

 

[madgoat33]

The only thing DMB has ever done of note is dump their septic tank onto a boat full of people.

 

[Blue Liner]

I like a couple DMB songs but was never a huge fan. Big fan of Carter Beauford, though. Sick drummer.

That's what I tried to say.

 

[Bring Back GLR]

I like a couple DMB songs but was never a huge fan. Big fan of Carter Beauford, though. Sick drummer.

The first three albums were really good and they had a real original unique sound especially with the whole post-grunge fallout that was happening in the mid-90s, then they went all pop and commercial after that. Carter is a fantastic drummer that drove that band like no else could.

Another band worth mentioning is Incubus. Late 90s they came on the scene and released two really good albums.

 

[Bubba88]

KoRn should be mentioned for sure... I loved their stuff (and yep they were 2000s too)
Oasis was great, same can be said for Blur.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Because words like good are subjective? Is this really your argument?

Not really, they are good at their instruments and song writing. It's not subjective to anyone who has knowledge in music.

 

[Martin Riggs]

Can someone start a "worst 90s band" thread so I can vote for Hanson?

We can just post stuff like that in here.

Technical skill I'll give you. Song writing is absolutely 100% objective.
