Favorite band from the 90s?

[leftist_rebel1569]

I gotta say that my favorite band from the nineties, which also qualifies as my favorite band of all time, is Rage Against the Machine. How about you guys? Any particular bands from the 90s that you really liked?

[Scott Lee]

1. KMFDM

[leftist_rebel1569]

3. They released their first album in '85

but one hell of a choice anyways :)

Edit: Did you know about their new album? and if you do, do you own it? And if you own it, how is it? :)

[Scott Lee]

54. Yeah but they hit their stride in the 90s

I used to love going to their shows back in the glory days of Enn Esche and his pink tutu. Sasha was kickass. What a band. This was the "Excessive Force" days (Sex on the flag, yeah!!!)

I stopped liking them for awhile after they pulled the "MDFMK" bullshit, but my pal tells me their latest album is dynamite, so I'm tracking it down.

My two favorite albums of theirs continue to be "Nihil" and "Adios"

[Swede]

2. Metallica, Tool, Garbage.

to name a few.

[NightTrain]

4. Southern Culture on the Skids

Banana pudding, banana pudding!

[Fenris]

8. Holy Shit! A SCOTS fan!

My pick would be Grant Lee Buffalo.

[Character Assassin]

16. One of my best friends used to manage GLB!

And no matter how good looking she is/was, they still sucked major burro genitalia.

But Maria, sweetness, you're still the business.

[GOPisEvil]

46. CA - you are damned right.

GLB suck-diddly-ucked! I saw them open for the Cranberries. THankfully the Cranberries were good enough to wash out the taste of GLB.

spelling edit

[Hep]

32. Don't make me choose

Archers? Polvo? Anything from NC between 90-99.

Yo La, Pavement, Teenage Fanclub? Lemonheads? And maybe 2000 others!

[45th Med]

56. All my favorite Bands are SCOT......Trash Can Sinatras, Aztec Camera

Anyone remember those bands? Trash Can Sinatras is releasing a new album next spring and Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera just released SURF.

[VelmaD]

5. Mine have already been mentioned...

Tool and KMFDM

[CanuckAmok]

10. Here are the lyrics to every KMFDM song ever recorded...

Grrr Grrr Grrr Grrr
Yah Yah Yah
KMFDM! KMEDM! MORE AND FASTER!
Grrr Grrr Grrr Grrr
Yah Yah Yah
KMFDM! KMEDM! RIP THE SYSTEM!
Grrr Grrr Grrr Grrr
Yah Yah Yah
KMFDM! KMEDM! MORE AND FASTER!
Grrr Grrr Grrr Grrr
Yah Yah Yah
KMFDM! KMEDM! MORE AND FASTER!
KMFDM! KMEDM! MORE AND FASTER!
RIP THE SYSTEM!
RIP THE SYSTEM!



But don't get me wrong, I still like 'em...

[Scott Lee]

55. you forgot "KMFDM...one more time....KMFDM....."

Your post was hilarious. I guess its an inside joke to us fans.

KEINE MERHIDT FUR DEM MITLIED!

[tjdee]

61. I always thought it was "Kill Mother Fuckin Depeche Mode"!!!

Good to know it wasn't, LOL. All these years, that's what I thought KMFDM stood for. Someone told me that, never looked into it.

Um, but what does the German mean?

[CanuckAmok]

6. Hmmm...distinctly 90s?

That's a tough one, since so many of the ones who came to prominence in the 90s actually began in the 80s or earlier.

I don't think the 90s was a particularly great decade for music, but some of the bands I consider "90s bands" who have stood the test of time are:

Nirvana
Jesus Lizard
Underworld (reinvented from 80s band Freur)
Ministry (80s, again, but such a departure from their 80s mold)
Jane's Addiction
Radiohead

[CanuckAmok]

12. Adding: Beastie Boys and Soul Coughing. n/t

[johnnyInc]

27. Soul Coughing currently in rotation in my cd changer

... along with Rage Against the Machine and Sugarcubes (not 90's but very good all the same.)

[newyawker99]

49. Hi johnnyInc!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[onebigbadwulf]

7. Cliche but necessary Nirvanna

Exposing the decadence and disechantment of this generation.

[girl gone mad]

9. The Pixies. n/t

[aquaman]

19. The Pixies best work was in the 80's

Love them though.

[oustemnow]

57. hey, Trompe Le Monde kicked ass!

though I gotta say true to your theory Bossa Nova was a POS.

FOr bands whose careers were pretty much contained to the 90s, I'd have to say Pavement.

[Zorra]

11. Manu Ciao, Indigenous, Radiohead, Nirvana.

[HuckleB]

36. Yes, they were the finest...

.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

59. Radiohead, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins

[Kathy in Cambridge]

60. Radiohead, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins

[cosmicdot]

13. pulp (and blur)

[SmileyBoy]

14. Nirvana and Soundgarden.

Also Spacehog, Alice In Chains and Cracker.

[onebigbadwulf]

25. HAhah I liked spacehog's one song in the meantime

too bad they couldn't keep it going.

[Character Assassin]

15. Talk Talk. Those who know, know.

All others have failed.

[CanuckAmok]

20. I love "Eden" and "Colour of Spring"

That's a band I need to hear more from...

[Character Assassin]

28. Than you need to get their greatest: Laughing Stock

[Jackhammer Jesus]

17. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains

Fear Factory, Sevendust, Nine Inch Nails... there are plenty of others, but I'll stop there.

[rppper]

22. i second that motion......

:kick:

[leftist_rebel1569]

33. Agreed...

Soundgarden and Alice in Chains rock! :toast:

[Sully]

18. The Pogues!

"The Boys From Co. Hell!"

It goes without saying!

[HuckleB]

37. The Pogues best came in the '80s...

[LastKnight]

21. Rage Against the Machine

with nirvana coming in a close second other than that, the 90s wasnt so great musically

-LK

[jus_the_facts]

23. Oasis....but didn't get into them until last year....

.....still I bought their older CD's from the 90's and really like 'em...the rest o'my CD library consists entirely of 80's and earlier! :)

[CandyCrim21]

24. Confession you guys...New Kids on the Block

I know, I know. But since we're all being so honest here!:shrug:

[crimson333]

26. Pantera

[johnnyInc]

29. Beck

... was pretty good.

P.S. - I like your quad laser leftist_rebel1569.

"there is no escaping it"

[Search Party]

30. pavement

[moz4prez]

[name not needed]

31. rammstein, nirvana, ratm, soundgarden

[JohnKleeb]

34. I dont remember the 90's

There I said it!
No I wasnt a high little kid, I just dont remember the 90's.

[Tripper11]

35. Phish

Saw them for the first time in 92 at a club in Toronto and kept going with them ever since. Watched them grow as a band musically as well as in popularity.

[Emboldened Chimp]

40. I second that!

Also the best band of the 00's, now that they're back.

[Joe Flowers]

38. Third Eye Blind and...

and Matchbox 20, Jane's Addiction, Stone Temple Pilots...

too many really... I liked the 90's :)

[Red_Storm]

39. Rage Against The Machine and Pearl Jam

[Leftist78]

41. ahh....nostalgia time

If you're going on pure influence you'd have to say Nirvana. To deny their place in music history would be an unforgivable oversight. They are one of my personal favorites, but some others I love from then are:

Helmet-very influential and terribly underrated band

Soundgarden

Pearl Jam-They got better after Ten IMHO

Weezer-stil awesome now too

RATM-the ONLY Rap-Rock band that mattered

Albert Hill-it's a local band, but they were great

Smashing Pumpkins

Temple of The Dog-I know this isn't really a band so much as a side project/tribute album, but it's still one of the highlights of the decade

Green Day-Yes I realize they're Clash rip-offs but compare them with the (supposedly) punk bands today and they look like geniuses

As a general rule, I like most of 90's grunge and post-grunge Alt-Rock. There were some shitty bands in there too like Bush, Silverchair and Candlebox, :puke: that made a living copying the originality of bands like Nirvana, and Pearl Jam, but leaving them out, it was a good decade for music at least till about '97 or so

[MrSlayer]

42. The Haunted and Dew Scented

The only two Metal bands worth a damn that came out in the 90's.

[cedahlia]

43. Pearl Jam--Loved them then and still do now

Also...

the Posies (anyone remember them?)
Smashing Pumpkins
Belly
Babes in Toyland
Hole
Alice in Chains
Rancid (love their stuff from the 90s more than the recent stuff)
Faith No More
The Afghan Whigs
Dinosaur Jr.
Bikini Kill
the Lemonheads

I could go on and on talking about how much I love music from that decade.

[camero]

45. REM

Too many good songs to list

[greyl]

47. Art of Noise!

Innosense?Nonsense!

edit: woops, and the cure, prince, sinead

[psychopomp]

48. Steelpole Bathtub

Does Fugazi count? If so, then throw No Means No in there, too.

[ZoCrowes]

50. Oasis

Loud, brash, arrogant, obnoxious and they spoke their minds. What "rock n roll" is all about. They said they were the biggest band in the world and they were...until they fucking blew it.

[MissMillie]

51. My favorite 90s music

involved solo artists more than anything: Shawn Colvin, Aimee Mann, Sarah McLachlan.

If I had to choose a band, I'd have to say Cowboy Junkies.

[Mass_Liberal]

52. Red Hot Chili Peppers or U2

I think U2 played some in the early 90's

[George_Bonanza]

62. Some of U2's biggest albums were in the 90s

Plus, they got into a whole electronica experimentation before going back to their roots. The nineties were eventful for U2. BTW, did you catch Bono at the Canadian Liberal Leadership Convention? Wow, what a speech. What a man.

[Guaranteed]

53. Sublime

Bradley Nowell was the best vocalist of our generation.

[grannylib]

58. Crowded House

[bbernardini]

63. Beer For Dolphins, Toy Matinee, King Missile (all versions), BNL

Any questions? :)
