I was watching a Top-50 countdown special of the "Greatest Bands of the '90s" on one of the music channels this afternoon and what I found most interesting was the fact that Midnight Oil and Crowded House were included in the countdown. I know they achieved a few successful hits in the Early '90s, but the most successful part of their retrospective careers occurred during the '80s. I've never known anyone to regard them as '90s bands.
Anyway, in case you're wondering, these were considered to be the Top-10 best bands of the '90s:
1. Nirvana
2. Oasis
3. Pearl Jam
4. Blink-182
5. Green Day
6. Radiohead
7. Soundgarden
8. Guns 'N Roses
9. Midnight Oil
10. Stone Temple Pilots
I'm not surprised that the bulk of the list is comprised of '90s alt-rock bands, to be honest. Although, I was shocked to see Oasis regarded as being the second-best band of the '90s. I'm not sure how they compiled the list.

I'm not sure how they compiled the list. Oasis were absolutely enormous in the UK, especially during the 1995-1996 school year, in particular. People considered them to be the next Beatles at the time, that they were artistic juggernauts with big, world-conquering classics. I personally find them overrated and prefer bands such as Pulp and Blur, but I guess they weren't awful, either.

The nineties are quite often maligned, sometimes labelled the worst decade. But it housed a fair cross-section of styles, from the Madchester scene early on, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses et al to the emergence of house and trance towards the end of the decade. At my blog I have remixed (on average 60 mins each one) each year and done the same for the eighties and seventies. They're subjective, personal choices but do cover some major hits too. 1998 is mentioned above so I'll link that one... Heaven Built A Boy – Elephant Ride When I Argue I See Shapes – Idlewild Sleep Spent – Death Cab for Cutie Happy Cycling Boards Of Canada Without You I’m Nothing – Placebo Kasparov’s Revenge – Lo Fidelity Allstars Maria’s Little Elbows – Sparklehorse Angeline – PJ Harvey At My Most Beautiful – R.E.M Who Do You Love – Mojave 3 She’s A Star – James Devil In Your Shoes – Shed Seven God Is A DJ – Faithless Bran Van 3000 – Drinking In L.A You Get What You Give – New Radicals Please Forgive Me – David Gray This Kiss – Faith Hill What Can I Do – The Corrs You’re Still The One – Shania Twain theworldisyourlobster.blog/2018/02/13/1998/

People considered them to be the next Beatles at the time, that they were artistic juggernauts with big, world-conquering classics. I personally find them overrated and prefer bands such as Pulp and Blur, but I guess they weren't awful, either. Indeed. I actually don't mind Oasis, although I can see why some people would have a more negative opinion of them. Their heavy reliance of Beatles influences went against them, to some extent. They were never going to reach the same artistic heights at the Beatles did. To be honest, i've never particularly been a fan of Blur's music (I like "Parklife" and "Song 2", but that's about it) and I don't really know too much about Pulp to form an overall opinion of their music. The only Pulp song I am aware of is "Disco 2000", which coincidentally was their only Top-40 hit here. The nineties are quite often maligned, sometimes labelled the worst decade.

I think a lot of people mistakenly associate the '90s solely with Grunge and teen-pop, which means that people quite often have a one-dimensional view of what the '90s music scene was like. Eurodance and Gangsta-Rap were also huge during the '90s, but based on what I have noticed, people don't tend to associate with them with the '90s in the same way that they do with Grunge and teen-pop (e.g Britney Spears, NSYNC). The '90s are personally my favourite decade for music. I'll listen to those remixes later on.  I've had a bit of a browse through your blog and I like what you have done with it. It looks good! Also, I noticed the "Momo Salah" video on the homepage. Are you a Liverpool fan?

Ah no but he had such an awesome impact on their season and is such a personable character I thought to make a compilation of him, fact mixing music and making videos are my thing so I am glad you liked the blog and I agree we should defend the nineties, I hadn't mentioned grunge even and if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have become fond of and loyal to bands like Codeine and Hole.

Ah ok, that's fair enough. If i'm not mistaken, I think Salah ended up breaking the record for most goals scored in a Premier League season!  The only Hole songs I really know of are "Celebrity Skin" and "Malibu", which are both pretty good. I haven't listened to any of their earlier singles or their album tracks before, so I don't really have an overall opinion of the band. It would be unfair to judge them based on only listening to two songs.

I think of early singles, Beautiful Son and Doll Parts are a must.

I've just finished listening to "Satin Sheets" for the first time, an album track off Silverchair's 1999 album Neon Ballroom. To be honest, it completely took me by surprise! It's a fast-paced, punk-rock track with aggressive vocals. I'm really surprised that it was included on Neon Ballroom, because it's the record which saw Silverchair mature as a band and become more experimental in their music, such as including strings in "Emotion Sickness".

I can remember listening to this song in the car with my Dad when I was only a kid. My Dad had this song on a custom CD he had made, which also contained songs by a number of different artists (e.g System of a Down, Slipknot). Coincidentally, I actually rediscovered that exact CD as I was sorting through my Dad's CD collection this afternoon and out of curiosity, I decided to search for "What If" on YouTube to see if I remember it or not.
This came as a complete surprise for me, because until this afternoon, I had no idea what the name of the song was or who the artist/band was. I'm even more surprised by the fact that it was released by Creed, of all bands. I really liked this song when I was a kid, so I was pleased to rediscover it.

I think the history behind this Foo Fighters song is pretty interesting. It's actually the first song that Dave Grohl ever wrote and Dave played the demo to Kurt, to which he responded with "'Oh, finally, now I don't have to be the only songwriter in the band!". However, Dave insisted that the band were doing fine with just Kurt's songs. Nirvana even jammed this song during soundchecks on their 1991 tour of Europe.
Honestly, it's a Nirvana song in all but name. It sounds like it should have belonged on a 4th Nirvana album. I only rediscovered this song yesterday afternoon and i'm glad that I did, because I love it. It's great.

I stumbled on this song which I vaguely remember. And what a song it is song. The confronting duet, the electric harp and the thumbing beat, everything is so memorable about this.
I think I just I found my favorite song of 1998.

But the difference is still pretty marginal. I still do not like the early 90s very much, but I realized 1991 had some good stuff to offer and is just sandwished between two highly mediocre years.

It's interesting to see that you have ranked 1994 so low. I personally think it was one of the best years for music of the '90s. Not only did the year see the releases of Dookie, Definitely Maybe, Vitalogy and Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York, but the Top-40 charts were rich with a wide variety of different genres and styles. It was an absolutely great year for alternative-rock, in particular.
