I LOVE Buffett's stuff from the 90s

didn't like much rock in the 90s, but some pop was good, although i don't really own much pop from the 90s. Theres always songs that i liked when it came to 90s pop, but i don't really own much. Favorite from 90s pop are:
Seal
Bryan Adams
Sting

Latin:
Maná
Alejandro Sanz
Enrique Iglesias
Marc Anthony

Green Day
Weezer
No Doubt
R.E.M.
Red Hot Chili Peppers

No other fans of 90s music?

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Barenaked Ladies
DaDa

REM -- do they count?

They formed in the 80s but they were still around in the 90s so I'd say yeah.

I'm too lazy to create my own list, but the DaDa pick is excellent! Definitely one of my faves too!

Along the lines of long forgotten bands like Dada I also remember a band called Fury In The Slaughterhouse from back then that had a minor hit with "Every Generation Got Its Own Disease". And who can forget the Left Wing Fascists' hit "I Drive A Yugo".

Seal

I have his "Greatest Hits 1991-2004" CD and I gotta say i LOVE the bonus acoustic disc. It's really such a great disc because it shows a whole other side of a pop/dance/R&B artist that you would never imagine . . .i.e, an acoustic interpretation of all of his songs. And its not one of those Shania Twain crappy remixes of all of the songs for country and pop radio, but he actually went back to the studio to re-record them all, and he plays acoustic guitar and all of the tracks too. If you don't have it i'd highly reccoment picking it up, its a great buy.

Well, they weren't exactly a household name but that song was very timely back then. You can hear it here:

Big Head Todd and The Monsters




I know their first album came out in 1989....not really "out there" till the 90s

Although I don't have all their albums and haven't really kept up with them as of late I've always liked them. Back in the early 90s I saw them on the H.O.R.D.E. Festival Tour and on a bill with the Boxing Ghandis and the Dave Matthews Band. While Dave Matthews lured the crowd to sleep Big Head Todd and the Monsters kicked all kinds of ass and did a great version of Zeppelin's "Tangerine" that they'd recently contributed to Encomium, the Zep tribute record.

Good call on the Crowes Jah. In my opinion they are the best new band of the last 15 years. There was a lot of good stuff around in the '90s, you just had to look for it. Me, I'm lazy, I'll stick with the classics, and if something else good wanders across my radio, I'll sit up and take notice.
BTW, you may have already posted it (I didn't bother to check) but the Crowes are making music together again, and though they refuse to discuss the possibility of anything beyond their five upcoming shows in NY, their website looks like they are gearing up for something big. www.blackcrowes.com

P.S. To throw another one in, my fiancee's favorite band, U2, had a pretty good run in the '90s as well.

To bad to hear of yet another person that isn't willing to look beyond what commerical radio has to offer when it comes to seeking out good music. There is so much good stuff out there that will never make it to radio that it's downright pathetic. A lot of the bands I named (though not all of them) at least got some radio airplay in the early 90s. It seems like by 95 or so the "classic rock" (whatever that is) format took over and new bands that played straight ahead rock n' roll no longer had a voice. Of course by this time you had bands like Matchbox Twenty being called "alternative" which was pretty much the death knell for real alternative bands.

I was tickled to death to hear about the Crowes getting back together, though I wish Audley Freed was still in the fold. Rock n' roll needs a swift kick in the ass about now and who better to do it than those guys. Hopefully a full tour will eventually materialize.

Maybe I should give a shout out to local boys Darius, Mark, Soni, and Dean, that's right kids, Hootie and the Blowfish. They sold a few CDs in the '90s, and if they hadn't gotten so big they might not have faded so fast. I know a lot of people will come down on Hootie, but all I ask is that before you knock them, you go ahead and hide your copy of Cracked Rearview. Say what you will, but they stayed on the charts for several years with the same album, and everyone I know loved them at one point.

In all honesty, I gave up on looking to radio for good music some time ago, stupid Clear Channel. Every now and then I catch something on XM that gets my attention, but I just don't have the time to seek out the good stuff these days, and I really hate that about the modern music industry. I think we're starting to see a backlash as local radio stations with less format structure and no corporate playlist mandates are popping up again and online stores, like iTunes, are contually expanding their indepent label partnerships. Who knows, in the next 10 years we could see the big record companies implode as the real talent flocks to the smaller more interesting labels. Wouldn't that be something?
