well I wouldn't go to that extreme, but it's slim pickins for good rock bands nowadays, Kings of Leon is the only great one I've heard, the rest I like were around in the 90's already like Tool, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, and have high hopes from new stuff from Soundgarden.
My local rock statation has a 1 hr special "the 90's at noon" that I listen to religiously as I missed most of the non mainstream stuff as I was living out of FM range that decade. with itunes help I've gotten a nice collection of stuff I never would of had otherwise.

The 90's were groundbreaking with the conception of Grunge. There were so many. STP, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden. They were all awesome and unique in thier own way unlike the crybaby music of today. My favorite though has got to be Tool. They are head and shoulders above the rest in my book with Soundgarden at a close second. What I don't miss and totally despised that spawned in the 90's was "hair bands". And unfortunately in my opinion it was the beginning of the end of Metallica. The Black album was black because to me it was thier last good album and therefore symbolized the death of Metallica. Great thread +rep.

Tool
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
Green Day
Static X
System of a Down
Korn
Nirvana

Yeah what he said.
I've heard Tool described as the Pink Floyd of the 90's.
Tool was in Vancouver this summer and saw them live for the first time.
Despite the fact that they didn't play a thing from 10,000 Days it was great show, Maynard was in top singing form. The light show was spectacular.
I've heard there's a new album coming next year.
Oh yeah, all you Soundgarden fans, if you haven;'t heard the Temple of the Dog album your missing Cornell at his best.

Pantera was formed in 1981 dudes.....yeah they were glam but still the same band....just my opinion but I think the 90's were living in the shadow of the 80's LOL.

i was all over the place in the 90's with rock. collective soul, soundgarden, days of the new (when they were still acoustic), rage, oasis, nin, chili peppers, stp, on and on...shit i miss the fuck out of 90's music, not that they don't STILL play some of this shit out on the radio till i want to shoot myself, but yeah, the 90's had some good tunes.

I heard that too about Tool being the PF of the 90's. And yes Soundgarden and Pearl Jam got together to form Temple of the Dog. What an awesome collaboration.
I saw Tool as well at the ultimate concert venue in North America Red Rocks. Best sounding concert I have ever experienced. They did play "The Pot" from 10,000 Days.
Oh and in case you did not know that song is about The Pot we all love, and the kangaroo court systen in america that punishes potheads like us. But by far "Lateralus" live was awe inspiring.
The energy being given off from that song was immense. I had goose bumps for the whole show. I will not be missing any Tool show that comes to town.

If you like Tool you have to check out "A Perfect Circle". It is one of Maynard's pet projects. Very esoteric.

A Perfect Circle is one of my favorite bands.... rep

I was just listening to 10.000 days last night (high of course) I realize now they did play one song from it Jambi.
I'm familiar with A.P.C. not bad but a little to soft for me most times.
Maynard has his own wine label, in Arizona I believe. Mirkin Wines or something like that.

Yes most of APC is alot softer than Tool. It gives alot of clues as to what thier music and message is all about. Tool and APC as apparently Maynard is the driving force behind the message being conveyed.
The message is hidden deep in the lyrics most people don't have a clue as to what is being said or what the songs mean. This has been a huge debate. People trying to get info from Maynard about the inspiration for his music and the meaning of it. He is quick to refuse an answer, with good reason. See, if you can't figure it out. Then you aren't meant to know.

"prying open my third eye"

I don't know if it's just a gimic to get more people to concerts just to actually "see" him but they were totally anal at the concert about taking pictures of the band. Security was everywhere chasing down peoplet taking pictures with their cell phones. I downloaded a shit load of bootleg videos taken years ago before they bothered checking for cameras.
Maynard has another band, the name I have forgotten, they put out a song that got a bit of air play here, "Queen Bee" I believe was the title.
