ITT we discuss rock music of the 90's (try to keep the PJ talk to a minimum). I figured this was a good thread for some of the bands who may not be known / worthy of their own thread.
With that in mind, I've really been into Superchunk lately. Any love for them here?

Red Red Meat was one of my favorite bands during that era that doesn't get talked about much.
I still listen to Jimmywine Majestic about 4 times a year.

Superchunk's new one is being thrown around like the greatest thing that ever happened. I didn't really care for it. But, yeah, in general I tend to like their stuff.

I still really like the Gin Blossoms' 'Hey Jealousy'. Is that allowed?
Stuff that feels like a guilty pleasure now but is still quite good, or at least some of it:
Gin Blossoms (as mentioned)
Soul Asylum
Sponge
Silverchair
Ugly Kid Joe

I used to enjoy the New Radicals quite a bit, and Reef.

This one is even better. I fucking love this record. It took a few breaks up for me to realize how brilliant it was, but fuck it, it is.

Some 90's artists I dig that seem lost to the annals of time (I'm not gonna bother mentioning artists with legacies like PJ Harvey, the Manics, Pulp, etc.)...
Elastica (Their at the time maligned second album is pretty much a blueprint for everything that happened in the indie scene in the decade that followed)
Mansun (It's a shame that Placebo went on to be big and Mansun faded away. Mansun was a billion times the band Placebo is)
Kenickie
Drugstore
The La's
Ride
Veruca Salt
Atari Teenage Riot
Asian Dub Foundation
Babybird
Leftfield

I had an Elastica phase earlier in the year. Even though the Wire ripoffs are totally shameless I tend to enjoy them more than the actual Wire songs. Some really great 2 minute singles on that first record. I never tracked down the second album apart from hearing tracks on live boots or BBC sessions.
