Favorite rock bands of the 90's

[sigmagrrl]

In the 90's, Sigmagrrl became VERY aware of the beauty and intensity of music and began her journey to amass a great collection of music. Not all artists I liked back then are on here, but the ones worth mentioning are. I've also given a comprehensive listing of where to find some of these artists' best work (well, IMHO)! Plus, going to school in one of the most progressive music towns in the US, I believe I got a great education in music!

Here we go:

* Pearl Jam - Fave song: "Release", track 11 on "Ten"

* Nirvana - Fave song: "Pennyroyal Tea", track 9 on "In Utero"

* Bush - Fave song: "Letting The Cables Sleep", track 11 on "The Science of Things"

* Toadies - Fave Song: "Backslider", track 3 on "Rubberneck"

* Alanis Morissette: love her whole catalog

* Tori Amos: love her whole catalog (my fave artist, in fact)

* Sarah McLachlan: love her whole catalog

* Stone Temple Pilots - Fave song: "Still Remains", track 5 on "Purple"

I always liked them. Of course, when I was in school, they were just a local band that played at Rick's Place across from the English building at UNT.
