No contest at all!!!

The Smashing Pumpkins are undoubtablty the best thing since the beatles.

I used to rate marilyn manson very highly but I have grown very weary of his shit and i see Brian Warner as being an asshole who uses ppl...
as for everything else, I'd give System of a Down a tiny bit of credit for being different although i dont like them that much.

Also KoRn has to be in the list as half of this shitty stuff we call rock today wouldn't be here if it wern't for KoRn... And they never seem to do it half as good as KoRn dispite being simplisting it is groovey...

But yes... Most definatly The smashing Pumpkins are the best... I wish they didn't have to break up but maybe thats a good thing as all these fake rockers would know of them now...

mike

P.S. yeah i'd rate radiohead in there 2 although the quaitly of their music is deterorating now

whare the fuck is Refused i mean they dident get very big but if your going for political bands screw rage there pansies compared 2 these guys

pumpkins definitely 1 of the best bands ever radiohead to

ok system of a down will carry what little traces of individulaity survive in todays music and they will be the one band responsible for thr proliferation of music with an edge that is intelligent provacative and ironic...i remeber the first time i saw white zombie/// rob and the band were on mtv at the exact moment i was flipping past it... i would puaes occasionaly if they were showing halfnaked chicks getting felt up on the dance floor, otherwise i've always felt betrayed by mtv and dont watch it (it sux)he was doing "thunderkiss 65" (yeah!) and i thought here is a fucking freak!!! then it occurred to me that he was the laast of a dieing breed of true rockers... "we were the first band to vomit in the park and find the distance to the stage too far" <thats what it was all about.... zombie should get mention for what they contributed...
and

no - shit guyS, seriously - WHO THE FUCKKKKKK IS RADIOHEADDDDDD!????!!!??!

Phish and Radiohead are that the top of my list. They have such a different sound, and great technique. I like a lot of the other bands listed, but to me they are just a less-than-stale variation of what has already been done.

Yeah, most of the bands listed are ok, like a 5 out of 10 rating so I'll just add some that I prefer.

1.ZZ Top (They've been together for 30 years and still have all original members!)
2.Ramones (Yes, The Ramones are 90's as well as 70's and 80's)
3.Smashing Pumpkins (All the albums are good.)
4.At The Drive In (Damn they're like RATM in the early days!)
5.Rage Against The Machine (First two albums before they got too poprock)

And in my honest opinion these bands are pathetic/awful/bullshit

1.Slipknot (Bad songs)
2.Korn
3.Staind (Ooh, ANOTHER angst ridden band!)
4.Papa Roach (Bah, this band's songs are awful)
5.Blink 182 (Poprock or the common name Popular Rock)
6.Sum 41 (Poser's of Blink 182 and they're poprock too)
7.Marilyn Manson (Heh, goth)
8.Orgy (Bad cover of my favorite New Order song, very bad)

Ok, let the flames begin...

Uh huh
You, sir, are a complete idiot.
Rage Against The Machine NEVER turned into Poprock. True, the first 2 albums are better, but HOW DARE YOU TALK SHIT ABOUT RAGE!!!

I would have to say that Slipknot, korn, and Orgy don't belong on the list of crap. The Early korn kicked serious ass, Slipknot still kicks ass (they haven't sold out. No, it's true, they haven't sold out)
Also, I heard the original vers. of Blue Monday, and I thought it sucked. The Orgy vers. is better.

My opinion of RadioHead: Too soft and boring. I'm one those people who prefer my music to be firey, full of energy, fast, hardcore. I don't like slow shit.
But hey, that's just me.

Ciao!

yeah slipknot is shit. however i liked orgy and korns early stuff. i also think that papa roach has some good songs. as for manson he is a very good writer and i enjoy the bands music but i wish he would just stop with all the flashy show crap.

Rap, Phish, Grateful Dead...the list goes on.

Dank

Let's all just forget about fucking nu-metal ok? It's shit. And this new mainstream rock crap. (staind, creed). Hate it. And fuck you, angst-rock haters.
My list:

Nine Inch Nails
Suicidal Tendencies
Nirvana
AFI
Smashing Pumpkins
Ozzy Osbourne
Ministry
Cradle of Filth
Slayer
Misfits

all i can think of right now...

Top 10 bands:

Green Day
Rancid
Rage Against the Machine
MxPx
Barenaked Ladies
Operation Ivy (1989 technically, but who fuckin cares)
AFI
Black Flag
Mr. T Experience
Ramones (they did good stuff in 70's but it lives on)

And another thing:

People call greenday "MTV punk" HORSESHIT, MOFOS! Anyone ever hear any of their early stuff from when they hadn't supposedly sold out? Anyone see them live in Berkeley in 1990? I did. You all disgrace alternative music by bashing stuff like that. And a word to all you Rage haters: grow a cock and call me in the morning. Rage brought *gasp* a meaning back to rock. They said more on Battle of L.A. than most bands say in a career. Out.

Hmmmm.... Best Bands... I have a few favourites.

Jeff Buckley
Radiohead
Live

I... Don't remember any other bands. In fact, I don't even have a memory. I'm completely retarded. a;lkhga;skdl

You smell like cheese. Down there.

Slipknot doesn't suck at all
Rage rules it all
Red Hot Chili Peppers rock
and there are WAY too many opinions here.

fuck it
I'm outa here

Opeth. And who put Black Flag in as a 90's band?? Bizarre.

I'm going to have to say Nirvana was an excellent choice...
I'm going to have to say I dislike weezer for two reasons

1. their arrogance
2. I just can't enjoy their music on as many levels as I would with a band like Phish

KoRn would have made that list also, they pretty much started the nu-metal genre. Its hard to look past a lot of other bands too, but as for making an impact, KoRn is big.

smashing pumpkins
nirvana
chilli peppers
jeff buckley
international noise conspiracy
foo fighters
rage
tool(merely for their originality)
in my opinion the 90s was scarce of great bands.

I agree Slipknot is definitly what is wrong with today's music. The band that is "Cool To Like Because They Are So Underground" really gets old. Face it, IOWA was a very very lame album. They had a few catchy songs earlier but only a few.

They're main cult following is the side effect awarded to liking them. People think they are "hardcore" by wearing a slipknot shirt. I am sure this is not what slipknot had in mind but lets not give them a fucking award for having a cool name and wearing nice masks.

On a seperate note, I wont name the top 10 because that gets a little too picky, but on that list Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, and Red Hot Chili Peppers definitly must go.

Even look now, Classic Rock radiostations have begun playing earlier songs by these three bands. They are one of the few bands of the 90's that will survive and be looked back on by the generations.

In 35 years will anyone be listenning to Rage Against the Machine and Beastie Boys as "Classics"? I dont think so. I personally like Rage a whole lot but they arent classic material. Same with slipknot and napalm death or whatever bands you've been speaking of. That would be like in the 80's to say Mr. Mister was one of the top 10 greatest bands because he had that 1 or 2 hella good song. Its bull. Underground followings of a particular taste in music to not justify reward...

my list:

the smashing pumpkins
nine inch nails
tool
nirvana
soundgarden
r.e.m.
pearl jam
radiohead

Nismo- why do you say weezer is arrogant?

I was too lazy to read both pages so here is my list:

Nirvana
Rage Against the Machine
System of a Down
Radiohead
Smashing Pumpkins
Staind
Papa Roach
Korn
Marilyn Manson
A Perfect Circle
Deftones
Coldplay
Linkin Park
Mindless Self Indulgence

Notice that I didn't add such bands as Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tool because they came before 1990. My list is formed by the impact and difference in their music compared to the general definition of Rock and Roll.

My friend just asked me "Where the hell is Mudvayne???" Here is the conversation so I don't have to retype it for those who think these bands deserve slots:

X m3ntaL X says:
can i ask you something?
X m3ntaL X says:
WHERE THE HELL IS MUDVAYNE
X m3ntaL X says:
....
Anarchy476 says:
i dont care how great mudvayne is, they never made an impact
Anarchy476 says:
at least not in my eyes
X m3ntaL X says:
well you suck
X m3ntaL X says:
lol
Anarchy476 says:
they never impacted or redifined anything in rock and roll
Anarchy476 says:
same with slipknot
Anarchy476 says:
and a lot of other bands like that
X m3ntaL X says:
they made a impact
Anarchy476 says:
i put bands like deftones and system because of their unique lyrics and singing techniques
X m3ntaL X says:
mudvayne
Anarchy476 says:
and nirvana and rage for the impacts in music industry
Anarchy476 says:
what did they impact?
Anarchy476 says:
the fear in childrens eyes?
X m3ntaL X says:
nobody has had face paint since fucking kiss
X m3ntaL X says:
lol
Anarchy476 says:
set bedtimes for children under 12?
X m3ntaL X says:
LOL
Anarchy476 says:
worry in parents?
X m3ntaL X says:
yeah see
Anarchy476 says:
the increasing level in psychiatry?
Anarchy476 says:
lol
X m3ntaL X says:
suicide attempts
Anarchy476 says:
exactly
Anarchy476 says:
lol
Anarchy476 says:
besides, telling everyone they are bad motherfuckers and telling people to kill everyone and then themselves isnt really impacting
Anarchy476 says:
just funny
Anarchy476 says:
lol
X m3ntaL X says:
you dont see videos like theirs on tv
X m3ntaL X says:
hell you dont even see theirs
X m3ntaL X says:
lol
Anarchy476 says:
lol
X m3ntaL X says:
have you seen a bass player like RYKNOW play the way he does
X m3ntaL X says:
im sure there music is pretty basic
X m3ntaL X says:
the music
X m3ntaL X says:
the lyrics
X m3ntaL X says:
are what make the songs sound crazy
X m3ntaL X says:
take the lyrics out and you got yourself a regular song
X m3ntaL X says:
well
X m3ntaL X says:
somewhat
Anarchy476 says:
when they amazing effect and revolutionize the music world, ill ad em okay?

Too sum it up, I like bands like Slipknot and Mudvayne. I really do. But until the day comes that they are put in the hall of fame or in my eyes deserve a slot in the hall of fame, they will continue to be "just another 'kill me' band."

pearl jam (everthing past "no code" sucks)
first two albums of stone temple pilots
nirvana not the nevermind album which has to be the most overrated album/song "smells like teen spirit" in the history of music
TOOL what the fuck how can people forget about TOOL they single handedly brought back prog-rock from the dead not to mention the fact if you saw maynard walking down the street you wouldn't recognize him, hence they didn't sell out and are still kicking ass
radiohead shit that shouldn't have to be written down everybody knows it
that should do it for my personal favorites, but the 90's saw some of the most deplorable music ever. producers taking over the artists job, too many boy bands and little britney spears female vocalists. so overall the 90s sucked. stick with the underground music, it is much better and isn't molested by producer greed.

---

yes, yes, yes, i love the truth of your words. TOOL is the greatest band in music today. their pure technical skill is like a symphony, and the underlying message of maynard's masterful lyrics caress my soul like the gentle hand of god himself... um what was i saying... yea um... so anyway, TOOL rocks.

Are you a bunch of idiots?
Slipknot!
If you evan read the subject of this bulliten you would see that it is about what 90's bands will be remembered in 30 years.
And only one person even mentioned Sublime! They where not huge when they where around but I can tell you they are the greatest, most original band of the 90's and the recognition they deserve as a truely great band will come to them in time, as is has with most of the greats.
Also, the Smashing Pumpkins where a really great, tight, original group who also will be remembered, but they where not as good as Sublime. As for nu metal and everything else on Mtv, it is all crap. I turned on Mtv the other day and say motherfucking wrestling! Mtv is todays standard for the music scene and they almost never even play music! and when they do it is corprate shit.
Music is going downhill so fast that anything current which is "popular" is crap

Radio Head is spelled Radiohead idiot.

My list:
1.The Pixies
2.Smashing Pumpkins
3.Raiohead
4.The Breeders
5.Nirvana
6.The Stonewals
7.Sonic Youth
8.Oasis
9.Foo Fighters
10.Bush

Nirvana
Sublime
NIN
Tool
