So hard to choose between Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, and Radiohead...

You just fell a few notches for that.

nine inch nails are AWFUL!

what, really? really? a morrissey fan hating on trent reznor?

well, actually, i guess that does kind of make sense. people either seem to love Morrissey or they love NIN. not usually both at the same time. nevermind then, carry on!

*starts singing*

Don't want to be a Green Day idiot.

whoa. big ups for liking The Levellers. i have two albums of theirs. there was a song, called "The Game", i think. that was my favourite. got turned onto them from a mix tape, used to listen to that song before fencing meets all the time, to get pumped up.

of course, "March of the Pigs", "Wish", "Last", "Piggy" (nothing can stop me now, cause i don't care anymore), and "Head Like a Hole" were big pumped up songs for me too. oh, and so was the track from Natural Born Killers... "Burn" and they were all NIN, so you probably can't take my word.

but that was just in high school. 'The Fragile' came out when i was in college.

I'm telling you, you are most likely thinking of later Green Day which is absolute garbage. When people say they like Green Day most will probably be talking about the days of Dookie which is an absolutely excellent record.

Bah i dont like Guns N Roses...

Alice in Chains

Maybe, but when people get all hyped up over an at best, mediocre song by them and go on about the band, it gets really annoying. Though, at least it's not the most annoying thing I've heard, but that falls to another band's work.

And what band is that?

GnR was busy shitting their pants after 93 they are out. I voted Radiohead because they were and always will be amazing because they are always transforming and bringing in fresh music as any band that survives for a long time does.

Oasis destroys everyone else on the list.

And you also forgot Wu-Tang Clan. "Enter the Wu-Tang 36 Chambers" + "Wu-Tang Forever" both released in the 90's, both arguably the best albums in their genre ever, every track on each a great song and no filler. Then if you want to include all of the solo albums of the members released in the 90's that were also amazing albums:

"Liquid Swords"
"Uncontrolled Substance"
"Return to the 36 chambers"
"Ironman"
"Tical"
"Bobby Digital in Stereo"
"Only Built 4 Cuban Lynx"

The only problem is this is best band of the 90's. I guess Wu-Tang is a group and not a band haha. It's really too bad that hip-hop went down the shitter after the early 2000's. There's a couple good groups/people still out there but you have to dig through miles of shit to get to them, Wu-Tang is still goin, MF Doom, Madlib/Quasimoto, Jurassic 5, Beastie Boys, Gang Starr is still goin too I believe........ How I wish 90's hip hop was back, before dirty south and the word "crunk" and teenage girls ruined the industry. What's played nowadays on "rap/hip-hop" stations is not rap or hip-hop, it's club music. If you look at most 90's east coast rap, it's poetry, the lyrics have meaning, they use metaphors and allegories and other literary elements. You can't play it in a club because you can't dance to it, it usually wasn't a beat that flowed in a dancing sense. Thats not what it's for. This shit now like 50 cent and Soulja Boy is illiterate, simpleton, club music hi-jacking the title of rap/hip-hop. Good thing England is around to keep producing great rock bands or else I'd really go off.

Bobby Digital sucked. and Ironman was pretty bad too.

The Roots are a real band. you gave them no love. i'd say they are, hands down, the greatest hip-hop band to ever record.

Wu-Tang is the best hip-hop collective. i'm sure you recognize the difference.

The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine," wins the most annoying song.

I would disagree and say "Give Peace a Chance," even though I can appreciate the message.

And the message is what keeps "Yellow Submarine" at the bottom and "Give Peace a Chance" above it.

"All you need is love" is annoying as well

although their other songs more than make up for their occasional annoying childish tunes

Fair enough.

I love the roots, one of the best live shows I've seen. must have slipped my mind. It's 1 am here hah.

I still like Wu-Tang better and think they are a better group(just preference I guess). I see groups and collectives as the same thing: at least 2 emcees that rap together on most tracks, ie. Wu-Tang, A Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, Beastie Boys. I see Bands as a group that have the more traditional breakdown, Lead singer "black thought" Drummer "?uestlove" Bassist and Keyboards(can't remember their names, haha). etc. and they play their own instruments. So I'd have to agree The Roots is the best hip-hop BAND to record. It's good to see there are people out there still listening to good hip-hop

You have the band "Blind Melon" in your poll, but not "Green Day". Given Green Days immense popularity during the 90's, I find that quite odd.

RADIOHEAD!!!

OASIS

yeah, but then they bitched out like a bunch of slack-jawed faggots who are too busy taking their kids to pre-school to record a decent album...

weezer was the shit in the 90s. if you didn't have the blue album, you just weren't with the in crowd

GNR, for not only rocking but for embodying the insane excesses and massive hair that characterised that decade.

GNR was an 80s band who continued to sputter into the 90s.

shouldn't be in this poll.
