[pdxsaint]

What is the best band of the 1990s?

I say the Smashing Pumpkins or Nirvana.

[. . .]

maybe pearl jam or the violent femmes

[Slow Children At Play]

Boyz II Men.  Loved those guys.

For my money it doesn't get any better than when they belt out "End of the Road."

[Jolie Was Here]

This thread will undoubtedly depress me.

[Slow Children At Play]

Last week I visited a Bob Dylan exhibit at a nearby museum. I got to thinking, what artist from my generation could have something like this dedicated to them thirty years from now?

I feel like the pickings are pretty slim 

We're the pop trash generation... you have to look pretty hard to find a band that does as much with lyrics and general "mercury" feel as Dylan.
