gotta be my Goo Goo Dolls of course....and just to name another random band how about...Ace of Base...I know, I'm a dork lol.

I also like a lot of those early '90s bands like the Cure and the Smiths and that whole brit pop sort of sound. Or was that late 80's? I was young then so I'm not quite sure. I like them more now.

Without a doubt, Green Day.

i forgot about blues traveler. somebody mentioned TLC. it made me think about how wildly popular the album 'crazy sexy cool' was. i still listen to it.
oh, dont forget about natalie merchant and her 10,000 maniacs. to me, music was much more awesome than the music today. the major of my cd collection is music from the early to mid 90s.

i almost forgot about savage garden

The Cure and the Smiths are very definitely 80's.

I will state that my fave song/band of the 90's was "Gangsta Lean" by DRS. I tip a 40 to your memory. :)

I think The Cure gave us some good music in the 90's. But their heyday was definetly in the 80's.

I agree the Smiths were 80's. Morissey had a good release in the early 90's. (Very dissapointing concert though :( , he didn't play any old stuff.)

I loved the Smiths!

Edited to add: I love this thread. It also reminds me that a lot of these great bands played LOLLAPALOOZA. I forgot how great the 90's were. :D

Tori Amos
Jane's Addiction

eh, oh well, it's still good. I know the Cure did have some early 90's stuff! Either way...I want to put in a little plug for the Brit Pop station on www.accuradio.com

I'm listening to it at work and every song that comes on is making me squeal. Right now they're playing Love Spit Love's "Am I Wrong"

[\hijack]

I also really liked the Lemonheads
I still like Ben Folds Five
I still like Sublime.

Remember how many good bands came out when grunge was on its way out? Lots of one hit wonders, but music that made my ears happy.
