Amen!

Saw them twice back in Boston and then again out here in San Diego.
Almost got Doug arrested at O'Hare in Chicago, but that's a different story.

First caught them when they were touring Faith Hope Love (and still had the HUGE hair)
and that was it. I'd heard Gretchen a few times but seeing them do it in person was life
changing.

Caught them again with the new look a couple years later at a club next to Fenway Park.
Took my nephew to his first club gig and he ended up on stage, with others, helping the
band close with an extended version of 'Closer to Home' by Grand Funk. So f-ing cool.
Talked before the gig and Doug clearly remembered Chicago.

Saw them at Brick by Brick here 10 years later and chatted afterwards outside their bus.
Doug remembered the O'Hare incident again. :LOL:

Took a buddy who had never heard of them and he came away fully part of the KX flock.

Well, if we´re talking bands that broke out in the 90s it´s probably first and foremost Paradise Lost for me. Shades of god, Icon and Draconian times were huge for me back then and I still enjoy them a lot, along with most of their catalog. Other than that, maybe Symphony X even if they are more late 90s for me. Dream Theater maybe counts since no-one had heard of them until 1992. That span from Images and words to Scenes from a memory was an eye-opener at the time.

I never got into most of the stuff mentioned here, the new and cool bands that actually were huge in the early-mid 90s and signifies the era.
 
I'm with a lot of you guys with the heavy hitters like Lynch Mob, AiC, Soundgarden, etc. But I'll add Silverchair to the mix as a low level player. Listened to the Frogstomp album a ton as a teen. Good guitar tones too.

Fun fact: '98/'99 I took 2 semesters of ASL/Sign Language in high school. One of our projects was to learn how to sign along with a song, then perform it in front of the class. I happened to choose Suicidal Dream by Silverchair. I liked the flow of the song and it wasn't too much of a challenge to sign. Performed it like a rock on the stage, nervous as hell being in front of people. Afterwards, I get talked to by my teacher and then the Principal asking if I was depressed or needed to talk to a therapist. I was completely oblivious to the content of the song, and coupled with how I performed it . . . jeezus that looked bad lol.

Classic!

Speaking of sign, was re-watching Fargo and the Mr. Wrench character and come to find out he's deaf and mute in real life.
