1. Alice in Chains
Plaintive, emotive, and occasionally mournful, Alice in Chains pioneered a melodic, intoxicating sound. Quite simply, their moodiness was mesmerizing.
Their songs not only dealt with themes of heartbreak and loss, but also tackled big picture issues like war and conformity.
As far as rock bands in the 90s go, these legends are the undisputed, often underappreciated, masters of the form.
Check out their 1994 epic Jar of Flies.

90’s rock sucked then and still does.
I guess The Replacements book-ended the ‘90s....
The last gasp
Some were decent
Agreed. Those were the top two bands of the 90's. I think it's a tie for #1.
I think Stone Temple Pilots was right behind them.
John Barleycorn destroyed what could have been
Type O Negative, Monster Magnet, Sleep
Freegards
John Barleycorn destroyed what could have been
Yep. I'd consider GNR, The Cure, REM, and Faith No More as 80's bands.
U2 and Depeche Mode also were 80's bands, although they put out some great music in the 90s, too.
Agreed. Those three bands were the sound of the 90’s.
WTF, no Mother Love Bone?
Scott Weiland was the voice of STP, but the DeLeo Brothers were the engine.
Rock talent was slipping all the way through the 90’s. Lip syncing became a big thing. By the end of that decade there really was not much left of any value.
By then everything became a derivative of something that had already been done.
To some of us, 90’s music was like a redo of the 70’s. I remember hearing that the 90’s music producers had grown up in the 70’s, and they wanted to promote the type of music they (we) grew up listening to.
Yes, the 80’s bands were good, but they fell out of fashion. Then, in a way, the look and feel of the 70’s were brought back.
Yes it/they are: 75, 7 & 5.
Trivia question.
What is the square root of hammybuttboi and tutu-for-toto puffs combined normal brain cells ?
That’s why they referred to Neil Young then as the “Grandfather of Grunge”.
Interesting. I didn’t know that.
2 fish...
LOL !!!
