Local H
Weezer
REM (if you consider them a 90s band since they started in the early 80s)
Tool
STP
now that that's settled, thanks for playing.
nah... thats just your opinion...
KoRn, TOOL, Disturbed, God Smack, Alice In Chains, STP, Pearl Jam, RHCP, Better Than Ezra, OffSpring... thats funny... no Toadies...
and playing what??? Pontius is a very biased person when it comes to music so one shouldnt bother to discuss who's the greatest unless you agree with him...

Silverchair was a lot heavier then nirvana . So I don't see how you could call them a rip off ?
How about filter , god smack, machine head , slipknot, prono for pyros , Disturbed , all far superior to the toadies in every way .

[el guapo]

Dismiss all you want the facts are there many many bands that released songs in the 90's and had a lot bigger hits then the toadies . If you like them thats ok but top 100 of 90's not a chance , Let alone of all time .
If you would like too , I am sure RU would be more than happy to help me to list all time bands better than the taodies . I am sure we can pump out a few hundred .

think you better check again. the Toadies debut EP, which contained most of the songs that would become Rubberneck, came out before any of those bands ever released an album.

Silverchair, at least the songs that got played on the radio, were absolutely a Nirvana ripoff.
all those other bands you named there suck.

yes, I am very biased when discussing music with people that don't know anything about good music. Godsmack? lol, they've sucked from day one.

yup... youre right... thats why God Smacks first album sold more copies than all of the toadies albums combined... its hilarious that you honestly think your opinion is the be all end all when it comes to music...
and now for the bolded portion of your statement...

 

[el guapo]

Ok yeah bands with multiple platinum albums suck but the toadies are top 10 of all time . YEAH you really have good taste in music .

God I am glade my taste for music suck . Other wise I would be doomed to think some crap college radio band was true music .

over half of the bands mentioned that you claim "suck" have been putting out albums and making great music for the last 10 or more years while your toadies have been on hiatus... youre right again... all of these bands "suck"...

Ok now your just acting like a clown trying to twist it anyway you can . The songs played on the radio ? Ok I can only ever remember one toadies song on the radio , There for you have little to base your arguments on .

local h put out 4 albums and only had 1 song make the radio.
a generic 1-IV-V, 4-chord progression throughout the song.
lets not get too ahead of ourselves.

 

[prime311]

I was just about to say how could you forget 311, but then you fixed it.

I know about just as much music as you if not more and not all those bands suck. WTF are you smoking? 311, Queens of the Stone Age, The Strokes, White Stripes, SONIC YOUTH SUCK?? You are freaking nuts. Next thing you'll be saying the Beatles, Led Zep, Hendrix, and the Stones blow chunks.

Actually Local H was a lot better then their success and that song in general. Theres more to music then radio time. Creed and Nickelback are pretty awful and yet they've dominated rock stations at times.

 

[reefforbrains]

um..Toadies do suck.
Put on a fun show but face it, they suck.....

 

[pontius]

ruaround, guapo, and cowfish all equate platinum albums, albums sold, or songs played on the radio with how good a band is

by that logic, I guess B rittany S pears is one of the greatest artists ever since she sold a ton of albums.
then the other guy mentions the strokes, white stripes, and sonic youth in the same breath as the beatles, led zep, and the stones. lol. at least you do recognize that Local H is a great band, so you kind of make up for yourself a little.

 

[prime311]

I said they're great bands I didn't say they were on the same level as the classics. Although personally I like 311 as much as any band of any era. FWIW though, we're talking 90's bands and strokes, stripes, and sonic aren't even 90's bands. If I had to name the top 10 90's bands based on popularity, longevity, originality, influence, and peer respect it'd be something like -
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Nine Inch Nails
Rage Against the Machine
311
Tool
Radiohead
Alice in Chains
Weezer
Red Hot Chili Peppers
In no particular order.
I leave a lot of good bands out like Pixies, Strokes, Beastie boys, Old Metallica etc.. cause I don't really consider them 90's although some would.

 

[pontius]

I used to like 311 ok, saw them in concert and they put on a good show. I don't feel their music stands the test of time really, nothing I really want to go back and listen to.
