Counting Crows, in terms of rock, alt, and a whole bunch of other stuff, were the most influential band of the 90s.

you should have put a smiley so people would know you were joking. counting crows is the most god aweful band just about ever. every time i hear that winey nazely punk i want to slap him. mr jones and....whap!

nirvana is far and away the most influential of my generation. look at the music before them(hair bands) and then look what came out for the next 10 years after smells like teen spirit hit. hell they even changed the way we dressed and made being dirty fashionable again for the first time since the hippies.

Nirvana has definateley had their influence. That said, you can usually get an indication of a bands influence by how many immitators there are. When I turn on the radio today what I hear is a seemingly endless parade of Green Day knock offs.

Your thoughts please

No idea about this generation, but for mine it was Run DMC. Hands down.

U2 is by far a better band, and will be remembered and celebrated longer.

But Run DMC and the remake of "Walk this Way" introduced black rap artists to pop charts. Fifteen years later, rap simply dominates.

Creed is probably the worst band of all time.

And they got all of their insiration from Pearl Jam. You can't tell me that the lead singer from Creed is not doing a bad Eddie Vedder impersonation every time he sings.

It seems that there are a few other lead singers that try and immitate Vedder's sound that I can't think of right now, so I'll nominate Peal Jam for the poll.

Tupac

But he's not really a 'band.'

Hands-down, no question. Most of their songs are timeless as far as rap goes. After that, Nirvana, (even though I like Pearl Jam better). I think more current stuff needs time to tell yet.
