THE definitive 90's band

What year do you think Smells Like Teen Spirit was released in? Oh yeah! 1991!

And what year do you think that Facelift was released? 1990 to be exact and it was a hit from the very start. Like I said, AIC was touring, getting heavy airplay and heavy MTV rotation while Nevermind was being written. Nirvana was not the first Seattle band to be a big hit. That honor goes to AIC.

Depeche Mode, but I'm always late to the party. Nirvana was really popular at a time when I was listening to early blues and had completely tuned out pop music. Therefore, like Perl Jam and Brittney Spears tunes, I couldn't name a single Nirvana song if my life depended on it. The 90s were when MTV sucked so bad it collapsed into a black hole (okay, a white hole since they had eminem). Tragically I do recall a Creed song that hurt my ears. Sheryl Crow kicked butt in the 90s.

MTV in the 90s was kick-ass compared to how it's been this millenium. And that's saying something.

Good, consistent band but I think they are relatively unknown in the United States (or so I hear). They haven't made many great records but they have made a whole bunch of good ones.

I like them and truly enjoy reading anything Noel Gallagher has to say.

Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova were HUGE.

When I think 90s pop, I think Alanis Morrisette.

Hmm, this is a tough question.

I think that my favorite band from the 90s is Stone Temple Pilots. Nirvana doubtlessly influenced a lot of people, and Pearl Jam's Ten may stand out as the definitive 90s album. The Smashing Pumpkins were amazing, though Zeitgeist isn't very good.

I think I'm going to have to go with Pearl Jam. That sound is the 90s rock sound.

I don't know if anyone already said this but here it goes anyways. A member of The Vandals once said "Seattle's junkies don't speak for my generation." I think I'm gonna have to agree.

I listened to 311 more than I listened to anything else. There are many other great '90s bands that deserve to be acknowledged but I would still say I was more into 311 throughout the '90s than anything else. Most likely they weren't the "definitive '90s band" for most people, but when I look back to the '90s and think bands, 311 is the band that my friends and I could most be defined by.

Unity.
