As a teen of the 90s I have to attest to the fact there were some GREAT rock and roll bands that were clumped into, part of that genre and era.
I mean, come on, are you gonna say Pearl Jam sucks? Also look at Sound Garden, Chris Cornell is an AMAZING rock singer. One of my all time favorites. Also the first two Stone Temple Pilot albums were great rock. Alice in Chains was another great band. Heck, Wheezer, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage, RHCP, Live... And lastly, what may go down in history as most under rated rock type band of the 90s Blind Melon. Yes the bumble bee girl video of No Rain, that band. That entire 1st album they released was a work of art. The 2nd album was pretty darn good too. Then the signer died...
Sorry but I have to stand up for my teen youth years of rock. Grated allot of BAD stuff was, record company created, of that time and beyond. But there still were allot of AMAZINGLY talented folks to emerge out of the Alternative era / genre.
Probably my all time favorite is The Black Crowes, who are still making great music. They were never really "alternative". Always rock / southern rock IMO. They can do and love REAL country and blues. And its obvious in their music they like it. Yeah they made a couple not so amazing albums but their first 3 records are just incredible works of rock. Pickup at Warpaint on up. IMO they are like the Rolling Stones of modern time.
This is a video clip from Chris and Rich Robinson, lead singer and lead guitarist of the band. They toured and cut Brothers of a Feather, CD and DVD. Just a wonderful culmination of acoustic / electric soul, blues and rock numbers on the tour. They clearly have some real talent.
