Every album NOFX made in the 90's..
'Ribbed'
'White Trash, Two Heebs And A Bean'
'Punk In Drublic'
'Heavy Petting Zoo'
'So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes'
Heck, I may have even forgotten one..

jplarson · 09-10-2023, 10:00 PM

I voted Fuel but I think you meant Tool. Easy to confuse them tbh.

GoTribe!!! · 09-10-2023, 10:25 PM

Other.
Rancid

IpcSteveYoung · 09-10-2023, 10:43 PM

Our Lady Peace is a good option, wildcard choice includes Collective Soul, inspiration for bands like Kings X

Screaming Trees

The Tragically Hip

though both started late 80's

I'll also throw out one you may have never heard:
Black Lab. - wash it away, time ago etc

How is that underrated?

Give me some Sister Hazel

Braswell10 · 09-11-2023, 10:59 AM

Gang Starr

Hess687 · 09-11-2023, 11:10 AM

Matchbox Twenty's first album was one hit after another. Very rarely can you listen to a CD and not skip a song. This was one of those CD's.

LVDan · 09-11-2023, 11:23 AM

some others for me-

Morphine

Whiskeytown

God Street Wine

De La Soul
Fishbone
Cracker
Living Colour
Melvins
Drivin N Cryin
Arc Angels

AwesomeBrian · 09-11-2023, 11:28 AM

Had to go with Toad.

Not sure how Third Eye Blind can be underrated when Semi-Charmed Life was the song for every movie trailer for a 3 year period

majestik101 · 09-11-2023, 01:56 PM

Brand New Heavies, Curve and Deee-Lite

spuds1961 · 09-11-2023, 02:08 PM

I voted other. I think the whole decade of 90’s music lacked promotion as a lot of the bands I see people listing I haven’t even heard of. I met my wife in 1990 so I wasn’t into music as much as I was in the 70’s and 80’s so unless something smacked me upside the head and made me take notice I really don’t know 90’s music.

JosieD · 09-11-2023, 02:26 PM

Stabbing Westward. I love their 2nd and 3rd album

sthoemke · 09-11-2023, 02:28 PM

The Cult. Or Fishbone. Or Dread Zeppelin.

jdandns · 09-11-2023, 03:06 PM

Breeders
Eels

Special mention:
They Might Be Giants

They started in the 80's, but considering that no less than THREE (Flood, Apollo 18, John Henry) of their 90's albums are each better than most other 90's bands' very best album, and they are still somehow not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, they certainly qualify as underrated. Producing an endless wealth of song stylings coupled with the cleverest lyrics in rock music for nearly 40 years easily puts them in the ranks of the all-time greats.

LVDan · 09-11-2023, 03:22 PM

Lotsa quality others being mentioned
Dread Zep we’re great(Tortelvis?)
Breeders were awesome
Stabbing westward
They might be giants too

Crowded House? maybe they were 80s
Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper
