    Perhaps Lauren Hill's one album and four singles that decade weren't enough

    One of the greatest albums of all time.

    Eels

    Abstaining from the rest, either don't know them enough or don't like them.

    I thought this was best act of the 90s...what are Aerosmith and Beastie Boys doing here?

    How on earth has Will Smith gotten through?

    Where is Lauryn Hill?


    This is off to a terrible start.

    Third Eye Blind ; Jumper is one of my all-time fave songs

    Ash ; one of my noms

    Weezer ; one of my noms

    Abstain from last one for now, not familiar enough with either.

    Had a quick listen to both Eels and Kyuss, and I'll throw a vote on Eels

    wow, I feel very out of touch. With the exception of Weezer, I am not sure I know a single song from the rest of the artists.

    I'll vote for Weezer so, I kind of liked the Buddy Holly song back in the day.

    I’ve listened to match 1 bands and I know the song Semi Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind

    But

    I’m placing my vote with Type O Negative for their cheery disposition. Started off with Bloody Kisses, then my girlfriend’s girlfriend and then Everyone Dies. I’m in great form now :D

    Same here, I have actually heard Semi Charmed Life before, but in general Third Eye Blind do nothing for me.

    Metal isn't my thing either, but there is an aura of goth in their sound, so I will throw a vote to Type O Negative.

    Madonna ; better presence in the '90s than Brucie

    Pantera ; would be more familiar with Pantera

    The Notorious B.I.G. ; it has to be Biggie

    Our Lady Peace ; one of my noms

    Madonna vs Bruce Springsteen

    Two acts getting votes from me here. Madonna and Bruce moreso 80s as their heyday but Bruce at least wasn't a weirdo in the 90s.

    Bruce Springsteen - I loved Madonna's 80's collection of songs but her 90's songs just annoyed me, i like all of Bruce's music....so he wins.
    Pantera - because i like their music.
    The Notorious B.I.G. - because i like his music.
    Happy Mondays - because we both like their music.

    Madonna - Fantastic longevity tbf to her.

    Pantera - They did Rob Van Dam's theme song Walk in Extreme Championship Wrestling and it was class.

    The Notorious B.I.G. - A proper 90's star

    Happy Mondays - Not familiar with the other act.
