Top 5 Forgotten Rock Band’s of the 1990’s
5. Better than Ezra
Better Than Ezra made a name for itself in 1994 with the hits “In the Blood” and the ever popular “Good”. They would go on to produce hits throughout the 1990’s including songs like “Desperately Wanting” and the hit “Extra Ordinary” in 2001. Their last album, Before the Robots, was released in 2005.
4. Candlebox
Who could forget Candlebox? The band was wildly successful in 1994 with the hits “You” and “Far Behind” off their self titled album, and would only go on to record two more albums (“Lucy” and “Happy Pills”) before disappearing for a while. Word on the street is that the band is back together and set to release an album sometime this year.
3. Silverchair
While many have forgotten about Australian rockers Silverchair, their true fans have not, as Silverchair have gone on to continue to make critically acclaimed album after album, and are set to release “Young Modern” in April. Many remember them from the hit “Tomorrow” which was released in 1995 while the band was still in high school.
**Update: Check out the bands new single: Silverchair – Straight Lines!
2. Toad the Wet Sprocket
While having numerous hits in the early ’90’s, everybody throws their hands up when they hear the name “Toad the Wet Sprocket”. Then they’re reminded of the hits “All I Want”, “Somethings Always Wrong”, “Good Intentions”, “Fall Down”, and “Walk on the Ocean”. Like many of these bands, they are back together and touring, so you still have a chance to check them out.
Here is Glenn Phillips playing “All I Want” acoustic:
1. Gin Blossoms
“Hey Jealousy”, “Allison Road”, “Until I Fall Away”, “Found Out About You”, “‘Follow You Down”, and “Till I Hear It From You”; who could ever forget the Gin Blossoms? They’ve been on the road for the past year promoting their latest album, “Major Lodge Victory”.
Hope you have enjoyed this blast from the past. The 90’s may be remembered for a lot of things, but for this blogger, the memories will always be about the music.
