Best Old-School Alt-Rock Band Pt.2 (90's edition)

[skellorock]

okay, okay, I'm gonna give the ppl what they want, here'yarrrr

there was more I was going to add (Liz Phair, the BoDeans, Ween, Hum, Soul Asylum, PUSA) so maybe we'll have to make a pt.3

[JimmyIymmiJ]

Touch choice, but I went with Better Than Ezra. I got into them a little late, and I think their more recent, less popular stuff has been the best of their career. They're probably the band on the list I'm most into now which had a lot to do with my vote.

[skellorock]

I know this band(Gigalo Aunts) never really went anywhere, but this song is such a classic from that era, from an awsome soundtrack

[delvec19]

Collective Soul is the shit.

[TSLROCKS]

Goo Goo Dolls although I do really like Our Lady Peace too

[notoaststereo]

third eye blind

[anamericangod]

Better Than Ezra was my first concert ever.

I voted for Our Lady Peace though. Incredible band.

[amber3]

Goo Goo Dolls

[skellorock]

Collective Soul is the shit.

awsome, yeah, I had add them, being from ATL, they're local icons

[augustana]

nada surf

[J Me]

Nada Surf for sure. Goo Goo Dolls are undeniably good though

[jjjkman]

i've always been a fan of everclear, as long as i can remember

[ALKALINE trio]

what was on part 1? What about Soul Coughing and blind Melon?

[MichaelP]

Yeah this is some bullshit, where is Third eye blind and the fucking Counting Crows.

[skellorock]

Yeah this is some bullshit, where is Third eye blind and the fucking Counting Crows.

okay, yeah maybe Counting Crows, which I'll add if I do a pt.3, but as far as Third Eye Blind goes, I was focusing more on early-mid 90's, Third Eye Blind, might have existed, but didnt break through until 97 I think.

[MichaelP]

Yes yes, i guess you are correct about the 3eb, however, why is Live not one of them. That is some essential 90's rock.

[volklaero]

come on, you guys are selling out with the goo goo dolls..what about collective soul?! shine? heavy? the world i know?! thats good stuff folks, bet you all know their songs more than the goo goo dolls..

[ForeverDelayed]

Gin Blossoms, closely followed by Toad.

[mem3590]

Gin Blossoms. No question.

[zachff]

Everclear -- So Much For the Afterglow is in my top 5 albums... one of the few albums I can listen to front to back without pressing skip once

I love that album. They're probably my favorite band on the list, but some of their recent outings (actually, I guess I should replace their with Art's) have tarnished them in my mind quite a bit. That album came out my senior year in high school, and it was like my album of the year then.

[tonighttonight0]

Gin Blossoms

[coltenTALK]

Our Lady Peace

[hivesrul]

gonna go with collective soul, but where o where is third eye blind? fastest rising band of the 90's? any of this ringing a bell?

third eye blind is amazing. I was wondering this myself. Maybe i missed part 1, or maybe it'll be on part 3.

[hivesrul]

o, wait. my mistake. just up this page is an explanation to why teb is not up there

[Hagysaurus Rex]

No Third Eye Blind?

Oh well....OLP for me. They're actually quite good live. Hmm....I should go listen to the Clumsy album right about now.

[andrewa5]

third eye blind

i agree. I used to LOVE them.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Never listened to much of any of them, but Nada Surf was kind of cool

[rhinitus]

SUCH a tough decision. I had to go with OLP to keep it real, 5th grade style. I was surprised there was so much support for them...

[SeanEBoy2686]

our lady peace or goo goo

[TreesAboveSean]

Toad should be owning this pole right now.

[miss sobriety]

i went with our lady peace but i like the goo goo dolls and nada surf too.

[Neo Cassady]

Goo Goo Dolls, but a lot of close seconds.

[SanePsychotic]

Gin Blossoms, hands down. They were the first band that I ever really enjoyed.

Goo Goo Dolls are a close second.

[aoftbsten]

third eye blind was my main choice, but i guess they were more late 90's. i don't even no why i voted for the goo goo dolls, they're good but i just don't know

[becauseyouwant2]

Goo Goo Dolls. Several of them are close behind.

If this poll were for best band ever to play the same chord repeatedly, Everclear would win hands down.

doesn't mean i don't like them

[HopeInLove]

Third Eye Blind

[mapster]

our lady peace i would have to say because they have some pretty awesome songs
