Honorable mentions: Drive Like Jehu, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Pavement and Modest Mouse.

I'm surprised that after reading all these lists, Blind Melon wasn't mentioned even once. I mean, even the ****ing SPICE GIRLS were mentioned (I'm really hoping sarcastically).

I absolutely hated them when I was a kid since I primarily listened to metal (and still do), but I think Matthew Good Band is a really underrated band that made some truly killer tracks in the late 90s.
