YIT'S BEEN!

 

That's a good list.

 

no one has mentioned wonderwall. what are y’all doing lol

 

Ehhhhhhh. I personally don't lump Oasis in with the sort of bands we're talking about.

 

Feel like there is a song out there that needs to Slide on into this list

 

Bc Oasis wasn’t a one hit wonder like most of those mfs lmao

 

I like Slide a lot more than Iris, but man Iris was just EVERYWHERE.

 

Iris is still everywhere tbh.

 

Heard a lot of Black Balloon as well.

 

true but there were zero goo goo dolls songs on that list so my point stands just with a different song

 

Feel like Slide and Name are the more noteworthy GGD songs from a 2021 perspective, but Iris was the biggest hit at the time almost for sure.

Oasis, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Weezer all don't really count in this discussion, agree they're a different category even if they all have songs in the genre at hand. For me the real convo is what's the most iconic 90s song from Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, Third Eye Blind, Gin Blossoms, and the one/two hit wonders like The Wallflowers and Semisonic.

and savage garden

 

Hey now, The Wallflowers had like five Top 40 hits.

I feel like so many ‘90s bands get labeled “one hit wonders” because people don’t remember how much easier it was for bands to just have strings of successful singles back then. Hell, even “Sleepwalker” cracked the Hot 100.

 

everyones lists are good but missing shimmer by fuel

 

We need a 90s alt rock thread, if there isn’t one haha. So much gold in that era to discuss, and probably plenty more that we’ve forgotten about or that slid under our radar as kids but would like to listen to now.

Side note: I always wonder what great 90s music was popular in other countries that none of us have probably ever heard.

 

One of my favorite songs of all time tbh lmao

 

same

 

Really good, but not as iconic as the others

 

like the equally incredible songs December and Shine by Collective Soul, Shimmer belongs to an adjacent but nonetheless separate genre of wonderful 90s alt rock imo

 

breach >>>>>>>>

 

Who's going to start the '90s thread?

 

Can we have a thread where I talk about all the post-fame 2000s records I love from big '90s bands? I've got a very long list of those.

 

This song rules:

 

you contradicted yourself two posts later lol

goo goo dolls weren't one hit wonders
third eye blind wasn't a one hit wonder
wallflowers, gin blossoms, hell even fastball and eve 6 had multiple hits lol

 

dig out your soulllllllll

 

Me!
