When a song has the word dweeb in it you know it's from the 90's.

Fun fact: did you know the frontman from powerman 5K is Rob zombies little brother?

Speaking of zombies, white zombie was pretty good.

Great 90's bands and you don't include Weezer or Alice In Chains?

Pantera. Hands down.



There are so many but...Dimebag gives me the "feels".

And I hate to trash talk anothers musical tastes but, powerman 5k was soooo terrible...lol

Everclear



I’m counting traveling Wilburys it came out in 88 but Roy Orbison always deserves a Mulligan .



I liked the wallflowers



and the blues travelers

Chumbawumba, Prozac, VengaBoys, Aqua, and Daft Punk.

You should change title to "My personal top 10 rock bands of the 90's"

Alice in chains, Tool, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Stone temple pilots, Soundgarden, Smashing pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Janes Addiction, Sublime, Korn.......

I consider most of your top 10 Pop Rock, excluding Bush , Green Day, The Offspring. Also who is your #2?

Well, I guess your list is yours, but why Powerman and not his hugely successful big brother Rob Zombie? You can’t even compare the two on success.

Can't forget Godsmack, Rob Zombie (as already mentioned), Black Label Society, Deftones, and many more.

Over half your list I never would have even considered for top 10. A couple vaguely sound like other bands from the 90's, but I've never heard of them specifically. No clue about the ones from Need For Speed 2.

Can't have a top 10 list without Rob Zombie and Pantera. Alice in Chains and Nine Inch Nails. Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana.

I came to write The Offspring figuring it wouldn't be on here.

There were "rock bands" in the 90's???? Really???? I don't think so!

If you want to talk about rock bands you need to go back further, like a decade or two. The real rock bands were in the 70's and 80's!!

Think about it...

Just compare the OP's list of bands (half of which I never even heard of) to the following:

1. Led Zepplin
2. Van Halen
3. AC/DC
4. Black Sabbath
5. Aerosmith
6. Rolling Stones
7. Rush
8. Rolling Stones
9. Metallica
10. ZZ Top
11. Deep Purple
12. Pearl Jam
13. Scorpions
14. Queen

Now go back and re-read the list in the OP and compare them to these guys! It's almost laughable.

Operation Ivy (even though they ended in '89), Pennywise, NOFX, Rancid, Nirvana, Rage against the Machine...

I actually worked with Jesse Michaels (lead singer of Op Ivy) at an art school in San Francisco 6 years ago. Completely by chance.

How impossible...you are talking about an unparallel movement in the history of music...the grunge era of music tied or perhaps even surpassed the genius of the Baroque period breaking a long confined to limitations world of music. It takes 25 in all honesty to do that time justice. It is like asking someone to name the three best romantic composers. Schumann? Liszt? Offenbach? Tchaikovsky? Debussy? Grieg? Wagner? Verdi? You would again need more like 10 or 15 slots. Same for classical ones. But if it must be ten here goes without any time taken to be sure so probably would be edited if I had time
Tied for 1. (Because the latter, 1B, is really a 70s-80s band but was winning hrammies and putting out best selling albums in the 90s and after...just 5 or 6 years short of 60 years!)
1A. Smashing Pumpkins 1B. Fleetwood Mac
2 The Cranberries
3. Our Lady Peace
4. Alice in Chains
5. Pearl Jam
6. System of a Down
7. Artificial Joy Club
8. Toad the Wet Sprocket
9. Stone Temple
10. Tool
