Who are your favourite bands of the '90's?

I got all nostalgic seeing these recent Pulp performances.

Pulp appear on US talk show 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' – video | News | NME.COM

A sad fact is that my secondary school nickname was Jarvis. I used to think that it was annoying. It used to really bug me. Now I just think it was kind of alright and distinctive. Much better than being called 'Chubby' or 'Loopy'. To be nicknamed after a tall, distinctive articulate man is better than most nicknames.

Mine was Beanz and still is

Nobody calls me Jarv anymore. I kind of miss it as at least Caucasian people get it somewhat right. I do at least have the proportions. I had a student suggest I look like Keanu Reeves the other week. I looked at him with pity. I look nothing like Keanu Reeves. He must look like Jackie Chan.

[Memphis]

Suede, The Wonderstuff, Pearl Jam, Nirvana. I also listened to Donovan quite a lot in the 90's.

Oasis, class.

How could I forget The Sultans of Ping FC

Genius, as always sprinkled with lunacy.

[El Kabong]

Oasis....overrated hogwash! How can a country with such a rich tradition of underrated bands still tout the biggest wastes of talent they ever produced?

[Fenster]

About 85% of the music I listen to is from the 90's - Soundgarden, Screaming Tree's, Pearl Jam, etc.. but what makes me laugh is I remember in the 90's when I thought all those 30/40 year-old blokes that clung on to 70's rock were complete saddos. I'm now them. And clearly so are some of you.

Well, assuming this thread is only after rock and roll bands, I'm not sure why the 90's is always lauded as such a great era. Obviously Britpop and Grunge were huge but neither was actually anything new musically, it just hadn't reached mainstream beforehand. Suede, Blur etc are good bands that have a few real tunes. The Smiths, Jesus and Mary chain, Joy Division are much better imo. Think about what bands you had emerge in the 80's, in comparison.

The Smiths, The Police, Dire Straits, Joy Division, R.E.M, Pixies, Sonic youth, Jesus and Mary chain, Talking heads, Yes, Tom Petty, Dinosaur Jr, and so many more. I don't think there is a 90's lineup imaginable that rivals those bands/artists myself. And I agree with Lyle 100% that Oasis is crap.
