Although they were quite "known" during the 90s, I think Blind Melon was a far better band than they are generally remembered as. Their album Soup was phenomenal and beautiful and surprised me very much at how creative it was. It makes me very sad to hear them now. I miss Shannon Hoon's voice.

nick... blind lemon was in no way overlooked, i believe the term that you're applying here is "under-rated".

i'm only telling you this because i love you.

oh and say something personally insulting to me about knapsack you coward. this is so good.

That's what I figured and was kinda trying to say.

Um...If not for your tiny tiny penis I would have some clue who Knapsack are. [sticks out tongue]

Picasso Trigger

if I didn't post on this before, Trash Can Sinatras, best band of the 90s. 3 great records. Now, maybe they will release something this century...

― g (graysonlane), Thursday, 13 March 2003 21:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Trash Can Sinatras were fantastic g! 'Killing The Cabinet' is one of the best songs of the 90s.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 13 March 2003 21:54 (twenty-three years ago)

imperial teen! medicine! the loud family! some of them are still around!

― dan (dan), Thursday, 13 March 2003 22:09 (twenty-three years ago)

it's true bryan. In fact the whole album (i've seen everything) is one of the best of the 90s (all time imo). Supposedly they are nearing completeion of a new record believe it or not...

― g (graysonlane), Thursday, 13 March 2003 22:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I second Trashcan Sinatras

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Thursday, 13 March 2003 23:12 (twenty-three years ago)

i second Blind Melon - I still listen to "Galaxie" and had no problem putting it on a mixtape between Crazy Horse's "I Don't Wanna Talk About It" and Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" (true story - ha ha ha

but yeah, you're right, they get lumped in with a lot of shit bands and that dude could really sing

Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 were kind of overlooked.

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 3 October 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

if this thread is being resurrected, may I add Bongwater and Scarce in the US; and in the UK, Nub, Ligament and Penthouse.

― Mog, Friday, 3 October 2003 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

i can respect the knapsack mentioned upthread, but any here who knows me will know what i'm going to say:

jawbox, jawbox & jawbox

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 3 October 2003 13:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Jeez, this thread is like reading a copy of Magnet or Option from 1995. I will second jel's early nomination of Number One Cup: Possum Trot Plan is a crazy-good debut.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 3 October 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought the Felt Pilotes should've been a lot bigger. I heard Low do a cover of one of their songs a few years ago but, other than that, it doesn't seem like anyone even knows who they were.

90s cover art is hurting my eyes!

― minna (minna), Sunday, 5 October 2003 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Looking at this list of stuff above I'm glad to see that almost all good 90's bands weren't overlooked!

― Keith Watson (kmw), Sunday, 5 October 2003 11:32 (twenty-two years ago)

three years pass...

Guided By Voices!

― scott seward, Friday, 6 July 2007 16:38 (eighteen years ago)

Virgin Whore Complex!
Stay Away from My Mother is smart pop genius

― Kate, Friday, 6 July 2007 21:26 (eighteen years ago)

Plumtree, Super Friendz, Thrush Hermit, Jale - the whole post-'92 Halifax scene.

― 2for25, Friday, 6 July 2007 23:31 (eighteen years ago)

Pearl Jam

― latebloomer, Friday, 6 July 2007 23:36 (eighteen years ago)

jale were really great

― electricsound, Friday, 6 July 2007 23:42 (eighteen years ago)

eleven months pass...

This thread makes me happy.

― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 8 June 2008 11:13 (eighteen years ago)

eight months pass...

oh man i just remembered the album "succumb" by the virgin-whore complex ... if anyone owns this and wants to up it for me i would die a thousand deaths, it doesn't appear to be online anywhere, no tracks on youtube even

three mile pilot, esp for another desert, another sea (not to slight chief assassin to the sinister)

Thee Speaking Canaries

― drench, Friday, 20 February 2009 20:00 (seventeen years ago)

the big one that comes to mind is Flop!...Whenever You're Ready is a motherfucker of an album...also, as much as I hat to say it, Geir's otm about Jellyfish, they were very great...also, not every song clicks, but New Radiant Storm King's August Revital is quite decent (Check out "Forty-Seven"!)

^^ Funny in retrospect?

― Tourtiere (Owen Pallett), Sunday, 22 February 2009 05:19 (seventeen years ago)

are the 90s hip yet? i got a box of my old baggy jeans waiting here.

― burt_stanton, Sunday, 22 February 2009 05:28 (seventeen years ago)

yes you need to wear the shit out of that

― welcome little swetty (contenderizer), Sunday, 22 February 2009 05:31 (seventeen years ago)

hell no.

― burt_stanton, Sunday, 22 February 2009 05:31 (seventeen years ago)

Pigeonhed

― System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Sunday, 22 February 2009 06:07 (seventeen years ago)

(That Dog were not overlooked. I never disliked them, but they were slightly more overlooked in the 90s than the Beastie Boys)

― System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Sunday, 22 February 2009 06:08 (seventeen years ago)

If you wanna talk about an overlooked L.A. band from the 90s:

Jacknife (best ever Imp/SFTRI three-piece? maybe not, but damn close!)
Straight To Video (which featured ex-Volcano Sun David Kleiler and ex-Sebadohian Bob Fay)

― System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Sunday, 22 February 2009 06:15 (seventeen years ago)

SHOEFACE

― System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Sunday, 22 February 2009 06:38 (seventeen years ago)

Refrigerator (they're still chuggin' out albums)

― System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Sunday, 22 February 2009 06:39 (seventeen years ago)

Seconding Possum Dixon and Vehicle Flips, mentioned early in this long thread.

And: Sone!

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 22 February 2009 21:28 (seventeen years ago)

Bugskull
Hochenkeit
