It definitely is. My favorite songs are Decks Dark, Glass Eyes, Identikit, Present Tense and True Love Waits. I started listening to Hail to the Thief now (I usually listen to artist's discographies chronologically) and the album I disliked the most is Amnesiac, the ones I liked the most are OK Computer and Kid A. Also, 2 + 2 = 5 is awesome.

Radiohead just were born to do music, as weird and depressive as it may sound to many. But there they are. Still listened by many many people 20 years after they release their masterpiece OK computer. And still sounds as fresh as always, making people crack their heads wondering how they managed to create such perfect tunes. Thats is musical trascendence. Well deserved.

They're more of a garage rock band, or pop rock in certain years, so while they are one of my favorite bands of all time, probably shouldn't be mentioned in an alternative list.

+Michael Marchitto everyone I know listens to chili peppers full albums rather than singles, what I've heard from Radiohead tells me their singles are their best work.
+Mike B Your so right, but I don't think Primus really is alternative, though. To be honest, they seem to be more funk and hard rock than anything. But the Offspring should have at LEAST gotten the 5 spot.
+Ethan Ciak I see your point about Primus. But I don't think primus would make it on a funk or hard rock list. They really are something else altogether. They were an "alternative" to everything else. They "Defy the Laws of Tradition" :)
give me a radiohead song that gets regular play time on any radio station thats not xm other then creep, all of those bands have at least on if not more
HOW are Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana not even MENTIONED?! They were 3 of the most influential bands ever and changed the musical landscape of the '90s.
1 - Radiohead 2 - Oasis 3 - Red Hot Chili Peppers 4 - Green Day 5 - Smashing Pumpkins 6 - Foo Fighters 7 - Rage Against the Machine 8 - Weezer 9 - Nine Inch Nails 10 - Blur
Live is an awesome band. I saw them in concert during Throwing Copper days and they blew me away. They were probably one of my favorite alternative rock bands of the 90s...

@@andrehughes7303 I always hated oasis AND radiohead... The Offsprings music from the 90s definitely deserves a spot before either of those bands, although I do think they have sucked since the 90s.
Oasis haven't been relevant for 20 years, why the fuck would they be on here? Green day yeah granted their 90s stuff is pretty great, Dookie, Insomniac and Nimrod are amazing but they produce complete bollocks and I'm almost certain no one past the age of 15 listens to them lmao. Foo Fighters, do people still listen to them? Really?
I was saying before the video....if Oasis isn't top 10....but they are and I'm happy now lol. Just wish they would get more credit. They've sold more records then anybody on the list apart from the RHCP, yet are seldom mentioned.
Yeah same here, they never really got the credit they deserved here in the US like they did Worldwide. Oasis are more than just Wonderwall, they're Supersonic, Bring It On Down, Live Forever, My Big Mouth, the list goes on, and they influenced way more.
I guess grunge isn’t alternative rock considering you guys put nirvana as the best alternative band. So I’m confused why nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains weren’t even honorable mentions.
Grunge is a type of Alternative Rock, it's not even a real genre of music. It's a description of a sound that many equate to Seattle. The funny thing is that none of the four bands that are considered to be the flag bearers of the grunge movement even sounded alike. Nirvana never called themselves grunge anyway... they either called themself punk or rock. Kurt used to wear t-shirts saying Grunge is Dead.
@@ledzep9943 "Grunge" is a term used to describe a shorted lived era of alternative rock music originating from Seattle. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden & Alice in Chains were considered to be the faces of so called "grunge" but they all sounded to tally different and then Grunge often went on to inaccuraetly be used to desribe all early-mid alternative 90s rock bands, even the Smashing Pumpkins.
@@pgoughms I know it's stupid but it's all just marketing anyway; grunge is as valid as any other sub-genre. It's just a particularly silly one because it's about the bandwagon instead of the bands themselves. Oasis didn't sound shit-all like Blur either remember... and eventually the Stones even sounded different to the Beatles. It's all nonsense but without pigeonholes and made-up rivalries the capitalists don't know how to sell anything.
Smashing Pumpkins should be #1, Radio head is such an overrated band with only 2 good albums (The Bends & OK Computer) and decided to make boring pretentious hipster bullshit.
Are you seriously claiming OK Computer is merely a 'good' album? 'Fucking phenomenal' would be closer the mark. And if you're gunna criticize their music at least get their name right (It's all one word).
Weezer, Smashing pumpkins, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, 311, Green Day, Bush, The offspring, The pixies, Pearl Jam, The Toadies, The Foo Fighters, Beck, Radiohead, Blink-182, Rage against the machine, They Might be Giants, Three days Grace, Linkin Park, Skillet, Avenged sevenfold, The Flaming Lips, Nine Inch Nails, Sum 41, Sublime, Cranberries, Blur, Bon Jovi, Pavement, OH SCREW I JUST LOVE ROCK AND METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tool is a metal band, Progressive Metal is their main genre with a little bit of alternative but they are definitely considered a metal band. If there was a top 10 metal bands of the 90s, tool should definitely be up there.
Tool are progressive but only with their last two albums. the rest of their work (90's albums) are alternative. I thikn they should be on here personally.
go ahead and look up any live beck show ever and tell me that he doesnt have a band on stage with him. Sparklehorse too. just cause the songs were written and recorded by a single person doesnt mean the music act is not a "band".
Puts Radiohead on number one on bands of the 1990's in front of Nirvana. Puts Radiohead as number two behind Nirvana on top alternative bands of all time... Hmmmmmmm HMMMMMMM.
Uh or not. Nirvana is a great band but there isn't any comparison between them and Radiohead. Radiohead has proven themselves to be a better and more impactful band than almost any other act in history and have done it for thirty years while still maintaining a level of integrity rarely seen in music industry. I've said it before and I'll say it again; Radiohead, at this point, has no peers.
I hate it when people say they're "grunge". Grunge is more of a label than an actual genre. Something can sound grungy. Nirvana is more punk rock while bands like AIC and Soundgarden were more metal. Nirvana is still considered Alt rock and more than deserved a spot on the list IMO.
Respect for putting Radiohead at 1. Easily the most commercially underrated band of the last 25 years. And I say that completely understanding that there’s a lot of people that hold them high. But that’s not enough. Radiohead should be held as high as a band can be held. They’re just incredible.
David Velasquez how? There is a difference between what you prefer and what made a longer lasting impact and MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more critically acclaimed.
+Zachery England Seems like splitting hairs to me, grunge is also alternative. I mean some of these other bands can also be considered "grunge", "Industrial", "emo" or "college rock" among other things. Alternative isn't really anything super specific.
I love that the first song they played for Oasis was Champagne Supernova. That's my favorite song by Oasis. I think this list is pretty good, except that Oasis should have been higher, top 3.
It's cool that Smashing Pumpkins is #3, but The Offspring is very much underappriciated by Watchmojo, they are a very much above average band that are better than most of the bands here.
@@jacobsabby2197 They are not grunge, never were grunge, and anywhere you look nobody will tell you they are grunge. And if media ever did refer to them as grunge it's because they were being lazy categorizing, as usual.
LocoMenteClaraOne no Radiohead should be number 1 if you don’t agree listen to these Everything in its right place, motion picture soundtrack, exit music for a film, Karl police, paranoid android, just
My favourite band alongside Radiohead, but I wouldn't be expecting them on the list, WatchMojo managed to miss out Crash Bandicoot when making the top 10 gaming system mascots list.
@@jonathantom8425 i know everything about them. Im 40, i was at the gig in Dublin (RDS) when they got scared of being a big band and decided to start writing crap. OK Computer is a masterpiece. everything after is self indulgent wankary!
Oasis's 'Morning Glory' album votes the best album in the last 20 years in 2010 . Added to the fact they brought 350k people to a concert in 1997 and all the great sucsees and hype... There's no doubt they should be number 1
In my humble opinion (excluding grunge) 1. Radiohead 2. Smashing Pumpkins 3. Rage Against The Machine 4. Foo Fighters 5. Weezer 6. Green Day 7. Pavement 8. Oasis 9. Red Hot Chili Peppers 10. Blur Honorable Mentions: The Breeders, Jimmy Eat World, Butthole Surfers, Lemonheads, Dinosaur Jr., My Bloody Valentine
@@timskinner5198 The Cranberries were not just good, they were so special to a lot of milions people. And Dolores always will be one of greatest Rock musicians. I understand that you don't like them, tastes are tastes, but this band were awesome.
Explain Ween’s “White Pepper” and “Quebec”, then. Oh, and Haken’s entire discography. All have more life than the entirety of the 90s, which was a corporation’s wet dream.
Well though oasis is really good, an album like ok computer by radiohead is one of the best alternative albums ever, and the most of the bends is also very good.
bruno giovanni montes fenco Completely agree! Really disappointing not to see them on this list. Though, Placebo were equally amazing during the 2000s as well!
From a UK point of view It's a shame that Manic Street Preachers never found fame in the US in the 90s. The first two albums (Generation Terrorists/Gold Against The Soul) failed over there but there were high hopes for their third album The Holy Bible, released in 1994 in the UK, finally making a breakthrough. Unfortunately, on the eve of the US promotional tour, band member and songwriter Richey Edward's went missing following struggles with his mental health. Issues that inspired many of the songs on THB. So I would implore all alt rock lovers in the US to buy or download The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers. You will not be disappointed, but you will be wondering why the actual fuck Oasis made this list when so much better music was been made in the UK in the 90s.
angrypig244 In my opinion, Smashing Pumpkins > Radiohead > RHCP. In the 90s, at least. Radiohead has been more consistent than the Pumpkins, so overall, they may get the edge, but in the 90s? ... I'll take Siamese Dream over OK Computer any day of the week. OK Computer is a fantastic album, but damn, it's overrated. Way too many people think it's the greatest album of all time. And it has a crazy cult following that'll get mad at you if you think differently.
BlackStarKeepShining Radiohead followed up Ok Computer (which may or may not be the greatest record of al time) with Kid A. Like they created The Bends -> Ok Computer -> Kid A -> Amnesiac -> HTTT -> In Rainbows. With the possible exception of HTTT (Which is a tad too long but otherwise amazing) a list of albums that amazing hasn;t been done since The Beatles.
The Cranberries not even as an honorable mention is insulting.
I guarantee you would not say that if Dolores was still alive
I meant the op

Because they only had 2 albums in the 90s (Even though they're my FAVORITE band, they weren't the best alternative band of the 90s)
They're more of a garage rock band, or pop rock in certain years, so while they are one of my favorite bands of all time, probably shouldn't be mentioned in an alternative list.
Can you imagine how bad the list for this decade’s music is going to be?
No, I refuse to do that
Number 1 of this generation
Baby - Justin Bieber
How are Blur and Pavement only honourable mentions?!
George Lally yes, I ask the same
Blur is britpop 🤷
@@erikak8665 and what the hell is oasis? Xd
@@antonioortiz4111Also Britpop? 😂
@@erikak8665 blur self titled and 13 were both released in the 90s, and neither of those are britpop lol, they're just better known for their britpop stuff
The Offspring would be in my top 10.
+MxCenzo my #1 would be Radiohead and 2 would be offspring
+SolidSnake680 Thats Grunge...
Too me they have that Grunge feel.
Zachery England The Offspring is a punk rock band.
SolidSnake680 barely
where the fuck is Faith No More
how the fuck could you leave out Faith No More
FNM isn't Alternative
Paul Erwin they're alternative metal ...
Paul Erwin How is FNM not alternative? And yes, I was hoping to see FNM on top till the last minute, but I guess it's hard to be fair if you want to include shit like Weezer on the list.
Blur deserves so much more than an honourable mention
You just can't beat 90s music!!! They don't make music like this anymore!
How Watchmojo considers Radiohead to be a better band than the Red Hot Chili Peppers is beyond me
Virtually every music journalist does.
Based solely off singles they are. Singles are really all radiohead has going for them though.
+Miroslav Gnjatovic In Fact they Are
+Shea Jones but radiohead are known for their albums, not singles. It's more RHCP that are a singles band
+Michael Marchitto everyone I know listens to chili peppers full albums rather than singles, what I've heard from Radiohead tells me their singles are their best work.
Primus???
But The Offspring gets an honorable mention. Really???
+Mike B Your so right, but I don't think Primus really is alternative, though. To be honest, they seem to be more funk and hard rock than anything. But the Offspring should have at LEAST gotten the 5 spot.
+Ethan Ciak I see your point about Primus. But I don't think primus would make it on a funk or hard rock list. They really are something else altogether. They were an "alternative" to everything else. They "Defy the Laws of Tradition" :)
Primus sucks!!!
+Mike B Well said man
give me a radiohead song that gets regular play time on any radio station thats not xm other then creep, all of those bands have at least on if not more
Not gonna lie, I heard "Killin in the name of" and jumped to my feet out of instinct
HOW are Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana not even MENTIONED?! They were 3 of the most influential bands ever and changed the musical landscape of the '90s.
I guess because they were excluding grunge for this video and saved them for the Top 10 grunge bands video.
Listen to the intro grunge boy
1 - Radiohead
2 - Oasis
3 - Red Hot Chili Peppers
4 - Green Day
5 - Smashing Pumpkins
6 - Foo Fighters

Daniel Mello U must be British
I agree 100%
Im sorry no way are Oasis better than The Smashing Pumpkins and lets not forget Neutral Milk Hotel as well.
Daniel Mello I couldn't agree more
Please.. Tool!
i think we can all agree music was great in the 90s , and 99 percent of the mainstream music now is complete shit
Mc_Claw Larsen 100%
Actually. There's a lot of really good mainstream music.
True dat
no.
100% actually
Live is an awesome band. I saw them in concert during Throwing Copper days and they blew me away. They were probably one of my favorite alternative rock bands of the 90s...
05. Foo Fighters
04. Soundgarden
03. Weezer
02. Smashing Pumpkins
01. Alice In Chains
I would think Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden should be in grunge but I guess not...
Nirvana
Nobody mentioning Faith No More in the comments makes me sad...
Lone Wolf THANK YOUUUU, the serious underating of that band makes me pissed
Not many know of them, but they provide so much influence for the present of alt
only real alternative fans knows FNM. this list is generic AF

YES!!
I was so sad that Modest Mouse wasn’t even an honorable mention. Thank You!!

Thank you
When i saw this i was like yea who ever chose the list on the video fucked up
Oasis sucks
@@andrehughes7303 I always hated oasis AND radiohead... The Offsprings music from the 90s definitely deserves a spot before either of those bands, although I do think they have sucked since the 90s.
Pumpkins are an obvious top 3. Melon Collie was the biggest double cd album of all time.
kidding? oasis and green day and foo fighters are soo fucking good
my three favourite bands of all time along with muse
same
how about the smashing pumpkins
oblivion man 1997, Bullet With Wings OC it's on there
Oasis haven't been relevant for 20 years, why the fuck would they be on here? Green day yeah granted their 90s stuff is pretty great, Dookie, Insomniac and Nimrod are amazing but they produce complete bollocks and I'm almost certain no one past the age of 15 listens to them lmao. Foo Fighters, do people still listen to them? Really?
I was saying before the video....if Oasis isn't top 10....but they are and I'm happy now lol. Just wish they would get more credit. They've sold more records then anybody on the list apart from the RHCP, yet are seldom mentioned.
you're so right
Yeah same here, they never really got the credit they deserved here in the US like they did Worldwide. Oasis are more than just Wonderwall, they're Supersonic, Bring It On Down, Live Forever, My Big Mouth, the list goes on, and they influenced way more.
lol I kinda hate oasis... their music gets me annoyed sometimes. but they do deserve to be on the top 10.
Blur was better
+yer mum Blur were good pretty underrated especially here in the US, overall Oasis were better, Damon even said it.
Pixies
Nirvana
Sonic youth
My bloody valentine
Radiohead
Pearl jam
Rhcp
Sounddgarden
PJ Harvey
Neutral milk hotel
And monster magnet
Pixies IMO r more 80s
Rock Blues red hot chili pepper were mentioned dumbass
Slint. Nuff said. If you consider Björk alternative, you could mention Talk Talk, Sigur Ros and Tortoise
Many of those are grunge
I guess grunge isn’t alternative rock considering you guys put nirvana as the best alternative band. So I’m confused why nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains weren’t even honorable mentions.
This is a series of videos, all of the bands you mentioned are in the top 4 of their grunge video
Grunge is a type of Alternative Rock, it's not even a real genre of music. It's a description of a sound that many equate to Seattle. The funny thing is that none of the four bands that are considered to be the flag bearers of the grunge movement even sounded alike.
Nirvana never called themselves grunge anyway... they either called themself punk or rock. Kurt used to wear t-shirts saying Grunge is Dead.
Grunge is grunge bro. Pearl Jam is BY FAR my all time favorite but I watched this to see the Pumpkins
@@ledzep9943 "Grunge" is a term used to describe a shorted lived era of alternative rock music originating from Seattle. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden & Alice in Chains were considered to be the faces of so called "grunge" but they all sounded to tally different and then Grunge often went on to inaccuraetly be used to desribe all early-mid alternative 90s rock bands, even the Smashing Pumpkins.
@@pgoughms I know it's stupid but it's all just marketing anyway; grunge is as valid as any other sub-genre. It's just a particularly silly one because it's about the bandwagon instead of the bands themselves. Oasis didn't sound shit-all like Blur either remember... and eventually the Stones even sounded different to the Beatles. It's all nonsense but without pigeonholes and made-up rivalries the capitalists don't know how to sell anything.
Smashing Pumpkins should be #1, Radio head is such an overrated band with only 2 good albums (The Bends & OK Computer) and decided to make boring pretentious hipster bullshit.
Smashing Pumpkins have made like 5 bad albums though.
Their first 5 albums were the tits but even their shittiest album is more listenable than a post OK Computer Radio head album era.
Jon Giron I agree totally
Jon Giron that's only your opinion.
Are you seriously claiming OK Computer is merely a 'good' album? 'Fucking phenomenal' would be closer the mark. And if you're gunna criticize their music at least get their name right (It's all one word).
Weezer, Smashing pumpkins, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, 311, Green Day, Bush, The offspring, The pixies, Pearl Jam, The Toadies, The Foo Fighters, Beck, Radiohead, Blink-182, Rage against the machine, They Might be Giants, Three days Grace, Linkin Park, Skillet, Avenged sevenfold, The Flaming Lips, Nine Inch Nails, Sum 41, Sublime, Cranberries, Blur, Bon Jovi, Pavement, OH SCREW I JUST LOVE ROCK AND METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like all the bands you mentioned, well, i never heard of 311 or the toadies, but i bet there good
Yes 311 and the toadies are really good. you should hear them
I don't believe I've ever seen Pavement and Skillet in the same list before. I'm confused.
PunkLizard I actually listened to one of the toadies songs without knowing it. It was the American jesus one.
Pixies are more like a 80's than a 90's band.
My dad went to high school with The dude from 9 inch nails
If you're not lying for clout than that's pretty cool
Which "dude"?? You mean Trent Reznor? If that's true that's cool.
Cool, my parents went to college with him.
My great great grand-mother went to daycare with him! That's pretty cool
His name is Trent you distrespectful shit.
Jane's addiction doesn't even get an honorable mention? 🤔
alanis morissette
Their first album was 1987, so I think that’s why they were omitted.
WHERE IS TOOL?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?
I know right? They're one of my favorite bands.
Tool is a metal band, Progressive Metal is their main genre with a little bit of alternative but they are definitely considered a metal band. If there was a top 10 metal bands of the 90s, tool should definitely be up there.
***** A top 10 progressive rock band list would be great
Tool are progressive but only with their last two albums. the rest of their work (90's albums) are alternative. I thikn they should be on here personally.
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this, because Tool are so fucking sweet, but I suppose they're not technically alt rock
Weezer should be in the top 5 at least
Sublime should be on this list
RHCP and Smashing Pumpkins should switch positions
Beck is not a band...
Wheezer replaces Beck and Sublime replaced Wheezers spot...
+Vincent Lavoie seems very reasonable
lol I guess foo fighters, ween, Eels, and Sparklehorse aren't "bands" either.
you're funny
RhythmGrizz Beck is a one man show. All those other bands you mentioned (but Sparklehorse) consists of multiple members and are thus a band...
go ahead and look up any live beck show ever and tell me that he doesnt have a band on stage with him.
Sparklehorse too.
just cause the songs were written and recorded by a single person doesnt mean the music act is not a "band".
Pearl Jam??? SoundGarden?? Alice in Chains?? Stone temple pilots??.......HEEEEEELOOOOO!!!
Matias Salcedo they’re all grunge bands, not necessarily alternative
@@dadeadlytaco9700 "grunge" is a bs label that intended to repackage alt/rock/metal for mainstream consumption, nothing more.
bo deedle no i meant they made a seperate list for grunge bands
@@dadeadlytaco9700 LOL
Hello doesnt have one L dumbass
OK Computer seriously changed my life.
Puts Radiohead on number one on bands of the 1990's in front of Nirvana. Puts Radiohead as number two behind Nirvana on top alternative bands of all time... Hmmmmmmm HMMMMMMM.
Uh or not. Nirvana is a great band but there isn't any comparison between them and Radiohead. Radiohead has proven themselves to be a better and more impactful band than almost any other act in history and have done it for thirty years while still maintaining a level of integrity rarely seen in music industry. I've said it before and I'll say it again; Radiohead, at this point, has no peers.
"alternative bands" it inst "grunge"
nirvana was a fucking culture man,people wanted to dress, sound and act Like them
And no, i Like nirvana but its not one of my favorite bands
You guys missed one little tiny bad called...... NIRVANA
they were a grunge band and not alternative.
True =)
I hate it when people say they're "grunge". Grunge is more of a label than an actual genre. Something can sound grungy. Nirvana is more punk rock while bands like AIC and Soundgarden were more metal. Nirvana is still considered Alt rock and more than deserved a spot on the list IMO.
Respect for putting Radiohead at 1. Easily the most commercially underrated band of the last 25 years. And I say that completely understanding that there’s a lot of people that hold them high. But that’s not enough. Radiohead should be held as high as a band can be held. They’re just incredible.
would you rather listen to radiohead or not be seen as a virgin
@@bigchief8493 I would rather listen to Radiohead
Overrated you mean
@@bigchief8493 You’re already seen as a virgin, so you might as well listen to them.
Great list. That transition from the Smashing Pumpkin's 'Tonight, Tonight' to RHCP's 'Soul to Squeeze' is EPIC!!!
Was thinking the same thing, I adore both songs
Radiohead doesn't deserve to be number 1. It needs to be higher.
Agreed 10000%
Henry Walker perhaps number 0?
Thuglyfe4ever RHCP IS HIGHER THAN RADIOHEAD BY MILES
David Velasquez how? There is a difference between what you prefer and what made a longer lasting impact and MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more critically acclaimed.
The Verve took Spot 0 and Depeche Mode took Spot -1 and Cabaret Voltaire took Spot -2 and Adolf Hitler and his Orchestra took Spot -3.
Nirvana should be on this list or at least deserve an honourable mentions
+MSP GALL grunge otherwise top. obviously
+MSP GALL That's Grunge
+MSP GALL Nirvana were top of the 'Top 10 Alternative Bands of All Time' video but not even mentioned on this video for some reason.
+none yo top? ew
+Zachery England Seems like splitting hairs to me, grunge is also alternative. I mean some of these other bands can also be considered "grunge", "Industrial", "emo" or "college rock" among other things. Alternative isn't really anything super specific.
I love that the first song they played for Oasis was Champagne Supernova. That's my favorite song by Oasis. I think this list is pretty good, except that Oasis should have been higher, top 3.
Smashing pumpkins should’ve been number 1
It's cool that Smashing Pumpkins is #3, but The Offspring is very much underappriciated by Watchmojo, they are a very much above average band that are better than most of the bands here.
Correct
Agreed. They are always left off these lists.
Meh, I love them but I wouldn’t put them over most of these bands.
WHERE IS JANES ADDICTION?
James addiction is grunge
RTD DYCE 101 janes addiction is NOT grunge... but I really am curious why you would think that
JANNNE SAYSSSS
@@gibo74 cuz most of the media in the 90s categorized them as grunge
@@jacobsabby2197 They are not grunge, never were grunge, and anywhere you look nobody will tell you they are grunge. And if media ever did refer to them as grunge it's because they were being lazy categorizing, as usual.
Nirvana?
That should be #1 and they weren't even mentioned. Cranberries too
LocoMenteClaraOne no Radiohead should be number 1 if you don’t agree listen to these
Everything in its right place, motion picture soundtrack, exit music for a film, Karl police, paranoid android, just
Alice in chains is better
Nirvana is considered grunge
i'm a fan of both but Radiohead should be in 1st place because the songs that Thom York wrote were too good.
Nirvana is grunge
Melancholy and the infinite sadness is one of the greatest albums of the 90s
@Chuck Buskee its better
Oasis?........for fuck's sake.
Its mainly their opinion. Anyways, Oasis is great.
tigerboar10 They're alright ;) Blur are better haha :P
DoctorGreen It all leads to people's opinions.
babzcorleone
"best album of the last 30 years"...... Well now, no, I think you're wrong on that one.
HOW DID OASIS MAKE IT AND BLUR ONLY GET AN HONORABLE MENTION
Incubus deserved an honorable mention
Bryson Frank um they're a one hit wonder
The foo fighters are my favorite band but I never considered them alternative to be honest
Be me
Listens to Say It Ain't So
Looks up best bands of the 90's in hopes of finding stuff like Weezer
Weezer on the thumbnail
Wow
Not even an Honorable Mention for Tool?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I know! They better do two prog lists soon (60s-80s and 90s-10s)
Should i be be expecting the Gorillaz in the 2000s vid?
My favourite band alongside Radiohead, but I wouldn't be expecting them on the list, WatchMojo managed to miss out Crash Bandicoot when making the top 10 gaming system mascots list.
1996Coaster Yeah, they also missed Sonic Youth i think.
and also blink 182
hell yeah I love them
Kels Jones. that's more like punk rock..
Green Day, oasis, rhcp 😶
2 great bands 1 shitty one
Definitely Maybe seriously changed my life hands down best debut album of the 90s
Beck is not a band. Foo Fighters and Green Day should be higher. Blur should be in the top 5
i agree blur should be #1
captainketchup63 Its doesn't matter beck still belongs on the list. Blue doesn't even deserve top 20 Green Day is top five Foo Fighters is not
you are fucking high... green day is utter garbage...
Gideon... don't make promises you cant keep big boy!
now run along and listen to your bubble gum pop music...
D-railed sad, you dont know what good music is
Smashing Pumpkins needs to be #1, no other album can top Siamese Dream in the 90s.
It's so strange looking back to a time when Green Day were good.
They still are
They were only good because they completely ripped off Dillinger Four
Luca L considering your wrote this in 2019 I’m assuming you haven’t listened to much of their recent albums
Of the bands on this list, Red Hot Chili Peppers was my favorite.
I love red hot
Radiohead should be way higher
Ryan Gillen I’m confused Radiohead>Coldplay so what’s your point
They made two brilliant albums then disappeared up their own arses.
Dave Connolly that means you know nothing about Radiohead
@@jonathantom8425 i know everything about them. Im 40, i was at the gig in Dublin (RDS) when they got scared of being a big band and decided to start writing crap. OK Computer is a masterpiece. everything after is self indulgent wankary!
@@jawknee4088 none of it even comes close to OK computer. in fact most of it is deliberately shite.
RADIOHEAD!
Oasis's 'Morning Glory' album votes the best album in the last 20 years in 2010 . Added to the fact they brought 350k people to a concert in 1997 and all the great sucsees and hype...
There's no doubt they should be number 1
You mean 250.000 people at knebworth in 1996?
But they are against Radiohead who arguably boast the most iconic song of all time creep
Not most iconic I meant most iconic of the 90’s
@@freet6955 so what about Wonderwall? Or Don't look back in anger
OkayThen they’re great but Radiohead was more popular than them and Creep is considered one of or the best song of the 90’s
In my humble opinion (excluding grunge)
1. Radiohead
2. Smashing Pumpkins
3. Rage Against The Machine
4. Foo Fighters
5. Weezer
6. Green Day
7. Pavement
8. Oasis
9. Red Hot Chili Peppers
10. Blur
Honorable Mentions: The Breeders, Jimmy Eat World, Butthole Surfers, Lemonheads, Dinosaur Jr., My Bloody Valentine

right. if we talk about alternative pavement should be top 3

Totally!
Explain Ween’s “White Pepper” and “Quebec”, then. Oh, and Haken’s entire discography. All have more life than the entirety of the 90s, which was a corporation’s wet dream.
How tf are Oasis not number 1?! They literally owned the 90s
Well though oasis is really good, an album like ok computer by radiohead is one of the best alternative albums ever, and the most of the bends is also very good.
Name Surname ye but... Definitely Maybe and What’s the story Morning Glory.
I was just thinking the SAME thing!!! I thought they should have been 10th. And if you ask me not make the top 10! 🤣
WTF
Oasis are a bit underrated to be honest
Pablo Honey changed my music life forever
same
This would have been my top 6:
1. RHCP
2. Green Day
3. Nirvana
4. Pearl Jam
5. Foo Fighters
6. Weezer
yes
Smashing Pumpkins should be higher than Weezer but I agree otherwise. They were huge.
Nirvana and Pearl Jam are grunge not alternative
Weezer should have been higher on this list....
I wouldn’t put rage in this category they’re nu-metal or rap metal
in the nineties they didnt have a label it was alt.
I should've probably been born in the mid 70s to fully appreciate my favorite musical decade. Damn my 1996 birth year!
No Placebo? Not even in the honorable mention part? Fuck sake,man. -_-
bruno giovanni montes fenco THIS!
this?
oh, ok :p. yeah i know, placebo is just as big as any of those bands. coming from a fan, it sucks not to see them on that list.
bruno giovanni montes fenco Completely agree! Really disappointing not to see them on this list. Though, Placebo were equally amazing during the 2000s as well!
agreed. at least placebo is wayyyyyyy better than greenday
Why Blur isn't on the top?
precisely my thought :')
Lol
alex cabrera I was thinking the same thing.
alex cabrera i feel the same about offspring. not the top but i am sad they aren't on the list
GageRobinsonVideos I dont think offspring should be on the list..
From a UK point of view It's a shame that Manic Street Preachers never found fame in the US in the 90s. The first two albums (Generation Terrorists/Gold Against The Soul) failed over there but there were high hopes for their third album The Holy Bible, released in 1994 in the UK, finally making a breakthrough. Unfortunately, on the eve of the US promotional tour, band member and songwriter Richey Edward's went missing following struggles with his mental health. Issues that inspired many of the songs on THB.
So I would implore all alt rock lovers in the US to buy or download The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers. You will not be disappointed, but you will be wondering why the actual fuck Oasis made this list when so much better music was been made in the UK in the 90s.
My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Pulp, Nirvana....
90s Smashing Pumpkins > RHCP and Radiohead. Get mad.
Smashing Pumpkins = RHCP > Radiohead
***** Stay ignorant? lol. It's called an opinion. I've listened to every project from each band's discographies. Like I said... Get mad.
angrypig244 In my opinion, Smashing Pumpkins > Radiohead > RHCP. In the 90s, at least. Radiohead has been more consistent than the Pumpkins, so overall, they may get the edge, but in the 90s? ... I'll take Siamese Dream over OK Computer any day of the week. OK Computer is a fantastic album, but damn, it's overrated. Way too many people think it's the greatest album of all time. And it has a crazy cult following that'll get mad at you if you think differently.
Opinions on the internet! Rage! No opinion should ever be expressed on this wide-open, massive communication platform. I'm steaming!
BlackStarKeepShining Radiohead followed up Ok Computer (which may or may not be the greatest record of al time) with Kid A. Like they created The Bends -> Ok Computer -> Kid A -> Amnesiac -> HTTT -> In Rainbows. With the possible exception of HTTT (Which is a tad too long but otherwise amazing) a list of albums that amazing hasn;t been done since The Beatles.
