    lol @ counting crows.

    it is one of these 6.

    - nirvana
    - smashing pumpkins
    - guns n roses
    - green day
    - pearl jam
    - red hot chili peppers

    you could argue any one of these, based on personal taste, but i can't see it being any outside of these.

    well whatever way you want to measure 'best', whether it's album sales, biggest concerts, most hits whatever, i can't see it being any band outside those 6.

    green day probably isn't up wiht other 5 any way.

    i don't even like gnr, but they were huge back in the day. i don't see how you can argue that any bad outside that 5 is serioulsy the 'best' band of the 90's.

    fwiw nirvana, pumpkins or rhcp would be my personal choice.

    yeah radiohead would be up there, but a lot of what they have done is late 90's and 2000's, that's why i didn't include them and foo fighters

    yeah, all 3 of those crossed my mind. sublime is one of my favourite bands ever, but there's no way you can seriously argue that any of those 3 had the widespread popularity that the top 5 i mentioned had.

    imo

    no doubt pantera is better for me than half the bands in my list, but like tool etc i just don't think they the widespread appeal to compete with gnr etc in any sort of measure.

    pantera 10million times better than gnr obv, but meh, lot's of downeys like gnr. what can you do?

    i guess i see what your sayin....you were listing the most popular to the massess...

    edit: pantera saved heavy metal thoe. Thats why i think they are the best of the 90s and the best band ever for that matter

    for sure, that list is not my favourite bands, i fuckin hate g'n'r, but the thread was not called 'what's your favourite 90's band', it's who was the 'best'.

    and like i keep saying, i can't think of any way to define 'best' that doesn't have one of those 5 (fuck green day) as the best from the 90's.

    imo it was nirvana, cause they popularised a whole new style of music and took the industry in a whole new direction.

    pantera would be in my top 10 of all time, maybe on borders of top 5.

    funny thing, i hated danzig all through high-school (91-95) cause the guys who liked them were retards, and i just heard Mother by Danzig the other day, fucking loving danzig now, can't believe i shunned them for all these years just cause of those retards. pantera still better though. this love is one of my top 5 favourite songs of all time

    I never thought about it like that but I do really like the Counting Crows. Sublime is also an excellent choice. Nirvana is up there for me as well. Mathclub I would have to disagree with your statement that the best 90's band HAS to come from your list of 6 bands. Granted, those 6 were all successful and you may personally feel that one of them was the best but that doesn't make it so. Everyone connects with music on a different level. Nirvana and RHCP are the only 2 bands on your list that I'm big on.
