Top 3 Bands of the 90's. Add your list!!!

[Piano Man]

This has probably been done before, but not for awhile. And as with most things, lists and preferences change.

My Top 3.

1. R.E.M.
2. Radiohead
3. Dave Matthews Band


I know a lot of you are going to wonder about Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but I was about 1-2 years too young to really get those guys at the time. And looking back, I still enjoy my top 3 more.

[mpitts]

1. Nirvana
2. Green Day
3. NWA

NWA is actually closer to late 80's, but they get my vote anyways.

 

[Parrotheader]

Not necessarily MY favorites, but I think the 3 with the biggest impact on the direction of music were:

1) Nirvana
2) Green Day
3) Matchbox 20 (laugh if you want, but a TON of bands have that middle of the road late 90s sound now even if they weren't the creators of it; they just happened to be the biggest)

That's just bands. You'd HAVE to add somebody from the Rap world into the mix though given how prevalent rap and hip hop have become in the last 10 years. There will ALWAYS be a new pop generation every 5 or 6 years.

My personal favorites of the 90s:

1) Weezer
2) Green Day (used to hate them because they were CONSTANTLY on. Now I enjoy them more)
3) Dave Matthews

 

[agnitrate]

1) TOOL
2) NIN
3) Smashing Pumpkins

Maynard, Trent, and Billy: need I say more? 🙂
