    Savage Garden - because they are completely 90's where Faithless i'd still listen to.
    Blink 182 - because i like them.
    Guns N Roses - ditto
    Coldplay - Coldplay's first two albums were great, and the odd song since, since Parachutes was their album in the 90's they win this one. its still a great album.

    Not sure why Coldplay are here. They didn't release their debut album until 2000.

    Snoop Dogg - classic 90s rap.

    Alice in Chains - Coldplay aren't 90s.

    Sinead O'Connor - one of the greats of the 90s.


    Abstain on the rest of the rubbish.

    Alabama 3 vs REM
    Matchbox Twenty vs The Breeders
    Sinead O'Connor vs Portishead
    David Gray vs Blur

    The 3rd one very tough, but I don't think Sinead O'Connor's overall 90's output was the best of her career - except for I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got.

    Kinda wanna vote anti-Blur but David Gray is depressing as all hell so will abstain

    Mainly cos his singing voice from Babylon is beyond comprehension... Sounds like this....
