I never ceased to be amazed by Rick's ability to nod his head, do a little air guitar, point at the camera, nod his head a bit more, say 'amazing', tell a little anecdote about where he was in the year the song was released, and then intensely nod his head a bit more. Slick, Rick. Slick.

I was at a truckstop outside of St. Louis back in 1996, and this band had set up their instruments in the parking lot next to their bus. My friends and I walked over and asked who they were. I was the only one who'd ever heard of Spacehog! They invited me to play drums and we played a Police song ( I think it was Can't Stand Losing?). Of course, I went home and bought their record after that, which was great.

There is far more artists flooding the market now so the lows are very low and there is tons of mediocrity but good music is still as good as it was in the 90's. Also you have to realise that literally every generation tends to find the next generations music awful. Just a fact of life you like what you are used to and what you grew up with and stuff you arent used to tends to sound bad. Not to mention that the 90s was full of awful music just like every other decade of music. You remember the good ones and forget the bad ones.

Great list! Really brings back some memories! One track missing is “Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground. They released two albums in the 90s (Marcy Playground and Shapeshifter) which are both AMAZING! If you haven’t heard them and only know the band for their hit please give them a spin - as can happen sometimes their hit is not one of my favorite songs of theirs. WIKIPEDIA:: Sex and Candy" spent a then-record 15 weeks at number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, a record bested four years later by Nickelback's "How You Remind Me". Barrett of Paste ranked it fifteenth on Paste's list of "25 Awesome One-Hit Wonders of the 1990s" while Consequence of Sound ranked it thirty-fourth on its list of "The 100 Best One-Hit Wonder Songs." Marcy Playground emerged in the late 1990s. Influences include David Bowie, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Wham! and the Beatles. The influences are quite clear on Marcy Playground's self-titled album

The entire Pocketful of Kryptonite album was fantastic! A ‘10’ all the way through! I sure thought a great career would follow that one, but they struggled to find something great after that, and never really made it. It certainly didn’t help that they had huge detractors in people that HATED them & HATED “jam” music. One of my favorite new bands of the 90s, I always said, more than anyone else, there were 5 bands that, for me, SAVED the 90s from total bleakness. In no particular order, the Spin Doctors, Live, Collective Soul, Indigo Girls & Kenny Wayne Shepherd (with close runner-up the Black Crowes)!

I looove the 90’s, those are my formative years, but I remember them a little differently. Not to say you’re wrong, I don’t think you are, it’s just the tiny of “glasses” we all wear. When I think of the 90’s, I think of angst. So much alternative and grunge music was “look how deep we are with all our brooding and hidden meanings in our lyrics. Many movies were weird and dark and experimental. To your point, there’s also the happy poppy side. Pop music was really having a moment, a lot of fun comedies and rom coms that were legitimately good without being to self serious. The 90’s were fun in many ways. I suspect every decade is just as layered.
