And here's some that probably belong in the Vans Warped Tour thread. I must have missed the one below, right? Or did we really go 7 pages in a 90s rock thread and not mention Offspring. Maybe moving a little closer to 90s punk-adjacent than proper 90s alt-rock.
Hasn't really aged well, but I had a couple of Ween albums back in the day: Also, not what they are known for these days, but Creep was ubiquitous early 90s rock: This song was all over the radio: As was this:
Harmacy was my introduction to them and one of my first intros the "Indie" rock world. I think "Ocean" must have actually got played on some Houston radio station. Has a special place in my heart, but I'd still put it second after Bakesale.
And this wasn't really "rock" but it was all over the radio too: Also, in the Era before Google I was kind of obsessed with what the bleeped out "crystal meth will lift you up until you break" line on this was, which was over-played to death. I guess, again, it is is more pop than rock but I'm on a nostalgia kick, so deal with it, and honestly I've always kind of hated this song but it was SO overplayed it is permanently imprinted on my psyche:
Going to stick this here as an 'honorary mention' because the band members are all from 90's bands and it came out in 2002 which is pretty damn close. This is one of my all-time favorite songs. I can listen to it on loop infinitely. ****ing rocks, hard. I've been told the lead singer looks like me. My wife disagrees 'he's ugly, you're not'. But I see it, he could be my brother. This song was the root cause/beginning of some real crazy, fun benders for me when it hit. I remember having this very good looking girl over for the night, cranking this up, chugging her entire box of wine and then saying **** it and kicking her out when she started complaining about it about it playing over and over. 'G.t.f.O!' I then drank another six pack, walked to The Strand bar area in Galveston, picked up another girl, brought her home, and passed out. She was gone in the morning, but this song was still playing. It was Saturday so I just started drinking again. Good times. I turned down the chance to go to VooDoo Fest in 2003 where these guys were playing. One of my few regrets in life. The girl in the video is Houston GREAT Bum Phillip's granddaughter and Bum Philip's daughter. This is now my wake-up alarm song
