 Filter sucked.

 In my opinion Nirvana kinda sucks too. All three of them were pretty shitty musicians.

 Bush? They're alright I guess.

Red Hot Chili Peppers were more of a 80's band. They sold out in the 90's.

Slipped my mind.....yep, they were great.... take out Weezer and put them in, even though i LOVE "say it ain't so" .

I just saw a concert of STP taped this year in Chicago. They sounded fantastic and the new stuff held its own

Grunge rock never recovered from from Cobain's death and was nearly end by the middle of the 90s.   

Maybe Tool... but I agree with Groink they need to cut somee of the bullshit out of every song.
I also like Limp Bizkit  in the 90s too

I happen to agree that their more recent work has a tendency to be overblown, but that stuff came out in the 2000 decade. Aenima, which IMO is their best album, came out in 1996.

Truth be told, with few exceptions, even the great bands follow the pattern of having a good run that lasts for about five years, then they jump the shark.

 I think Nirvana is one of the most overrated bands in history.

 Their musicianship is crap.

 They just got famous because the Seattle music scene (grunge) became hip and Nirvana was one of the biggest names in the scene.

 But they are basically like a punk rock band. Shitty songs, all attitude and emotion.

The 90's were an abysmal decade for rock/metal in North America.

The quality music was being made in Europe.

Evergrey

Hypocrisy
Stratovarious

The majority of bands listed so far are not worth a hand job. The 80s produced some of the best bands and best music ever. The 90s sucked that's why there are no longer hardly any bands still around from that era but many bands from the 80s are still going strong today and are as good as ever like this band for example:








Screw 90s music.

Why didn't any of these bands make it big in the States?  It's not as though Americans are prejudiced when it comes to music.

The reason is that this overly technical music lacks heart and soul and the songs are even very good.

The reality is that there was a stretch in the 90s when Tool was easily the best hard rock band in the world.

The music I posted isn't exactly technical, nor does popularity equate with quality.

After Nirvana hit in the early 90's, rock bands were dropped from virtually every record label around. Grunge and alt-rock were the only bands being signed. Only the major bands like Metallica and Pantera (which hit number 1 in 94 with Far Beyond Driven) were still kicking. Big business killed music in the 90's. Local music didn't fare much better with rock bands going from playing week long gigs to single set a week, if they were lucky.

North American television and radio dictated what the public listened to and watched. If one band hit it big, 20 clones of said band were then signed. There was very little outlet for other music to be heard as this was prior to the explosion of music on the internet and file sharing.
