[Satanstoenail]

Faith No More
Regurgitator
Alice In Chains
Ween
Nirvana

 

[JontRevolting]

Not sure what to make of this but here are some of my favorite bands that I think could fit:

My Bloody Valentine
Lush
Slowdive
Soundgarden
Ride

Ditto to this,Ride were awesome,especially Vapor Trail,should'nt forget The Jesus and Mary Chain either

 

[Belligerent]

Ween

I remember their song "Chocolate Town" that I really liked, do they have any other songs (albums) in that style? I know alot of their stuff is pretty goofy but they do have a serious side to them.

Yeah what little I've heard from The Jesus and Mary Chain has been great, though I always associate them with the 80's rather then the 90's.

 

[Einherjar86]

Anyone remember Seven Mary Three? I only liked one of their albums (American Standard), but it was a good one.

Does R.E.M. count as 90s alternative, or 80s? They released Out of Time in the 90s, so I'd put them up there too.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Alice in Chains
Smashing Pumpkins
Soundgarden
Soul Asylum
Verve Pipe

The Pixies covered a Jesus and Mary Chain tune called Head On. The bands I listed were around in the 80's-early 80s. But to me, The Church, Concrete Blonde, and a few others did better albums in the 90s, and solidified their style by then.

 

[Psychonaut]

My least favorite musical period also. I hated the grunge scene and almost all that came with it. AiC and Mother Love Bone were the only ones I could tolerate from that mess. So..

Alice In Chains
Mother Love Bone (if this even counts)
Faith No More (!!!)

 

[ramses]

I can't help but like The Melvins, and Soungarden, AIC. The rest of the grunge bands...meh

 

[tagradh]

Fuck knows what people count 'alternative' as meaning but..

Pearl Jam, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Radiohead, Lush and Sigur Ros are all great. ;>

 

[Master_Yoda77]

1) Alice In Chains
2) Primus
3) Rage Against The Machine
4) Weezer (The Blue Album and Pinkerton are some of the best alternative rock albums)
5) Smashing Pumpkins (If only for Gish and Siamese Dream)

 

[EyeballKid]

Soundgarden
Live
Ben Folds Five
Foo Fighters
Rage Against the Machine OR No Doubt, either is fine

 

[Matt]

4) Weezer (The Blue Album and Pinkerton are some of the best alternative rock albums)

I used to love the green album. Still do.

 

[Satanstoenail]

How could I forget Primus.

 

[Belligerent]

Totally forgot myself. Les Claypool is genious.

Counting Crows (Their piano stuff is genius)
Alice In Chains
Nirvana
Radiohead
Ween

 

[Badbird]

Alice In Chains
Soundgarden
RATM

Bands that were close to my list
Incubus
Sublime
Social Distortion

 

[Badbird]

BUMP

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Pretty sure AIC and RATM are the only '90s alternative I really listen to, but I've heard some Ween and Pixies and those are both brilliant bands. Mother Love Bone and Soundgarden are also pretty good.
