Top 5 90's acts

[rick James]

List yours:

1. Alice in Chains
2. Sublime
3. Rage Against the Machine
4. Deftones
5. Soundgarden

Anyone else notice how many big name muso's seemed to die in the 90's? Cobain, Howell, Pac, Biggie all died in their mid 20's. Staley held out til 02 but there were a number of other OD's in the 90's from my recollection.

 

[Roddy]

Pantera
Faith no More
Fear Factory
Alice
Korn

Didn't like the 90's much, it's why i can't even name 5 bands.

 

[shacka]

Manic Street Preachers
Oasis
You Am I

Then it's a toss up between Elliott Smith, Whiskeytown, Sterephonics, Supergrass, Suede and Super Furry Animals.

How can you (specifically, knowing your love for hip hop) not have Pac, Dre or Snoop in your list?

Easily, I've never been a big fan of most West Coast hiphop, though Snoop's debut was a classic.

But he doesn't measure up to any of the bands I listed. Biggie Smalls, Wu-Tang, Jay-Z and Nas would all be close
