Pretty much this but take out Rage and put in Pearl Jam (though their politics are starting to wear on me). My favorite of all time is, of course, the mighty King's X.

I can leave the politics at the door regarding the music. C'mon Bomb Track is the bomb IMHO. Pearl Jam got political after the first of 2nd album and never regained their popularity either.

Doug Pinnick is a modern day Jimi Hendrix vocally IMO, once I heard Summerland, Over my Head I was hooked, they had a couple of weak albums but most is great.

Saw them open for PJ in ‘93 and then headline a club tour in ‘94. See them everytime they come. Around ten years ago they were here and Ty was gigging the Egnater rig. Went home, grabbed a couple of 21” Solid Cables Arc Ultras and a bunch of NOS preamp tubes and brought them back to the gig for gifts. “Over my Head” made a friend who was a crack baby and had no feelings cry her eyes out. King’s X is the first church of rock n roll, and I let Doug know in no uncertain terms this is the case.

Next time they came, he said “this is the first church of rock n’ roll” at the crowd.

I love those guys. Integral part of my development and musical journey. I met the lead singer of my first band at that 94 show. Within a couple of months, I was gigging beale street and on the cover of the paper with the below band.

Posted my list further above but if I had to pick an all time great Grunge album it would be Soundgarden’s Superunknown. Listening to it now. Wow does it bring me back…

Lots of great bands I sort of forgot in this thread.

I didn't discover Eric Johnson until Ah Via Musicom (1990) and that plus the next record Venus Isle are by far my favorites so I think of him as 90s.
 
HEY Hemi you remembered MC5 reputed as the worlds first Thrash band. A good buddy of mine used to rave about MC5.........................................
 
A lot of my faves have already been mentioned in here so I'll add The Wildhearts :love: :rock:

They f-ing rocked! Impressed with what the MC5 were doing, Jimmy Page decided to quit the Yardbirds and form his own band.
 
Sound Garden
AIC
Corrosion of Conformity
Nevermore (politics and Dreaming neon Black were both 90's before the switch to 7 string work)
Tool (once in a while)
Pantera
whatever they play on Lithium Sirious XM, I always surf that while I'm driving.
I'm much more into 70's and 80's music than 90's.
