90's Emo/alternative
Just a list of my favorite 90's emo/alternative bands (or at least bands
influenced by this genre). |
1 | | Jimmy Eat World Clarity
The album speaks for itself, not a bad song on it. |
2 | | The Blacktop Cadence Chemistry For Changing Times
Raspy vocals, rough harmonies, pretty guitar parts, and catchy tunes. This band
has it all. |
3 | | American Football American Football
Very soothing songs with catchy guitar riffs at the same time. Each song sounds
different from the last. |
4 | | Hum You'd Prefer An Astronaut
Space rock at it's finest. Two really really catchy songs on it particularly: "Stars"
and "I Hate It Too". |
5 | | Knapsack This Conversation Is Ending
Very great album with simple melodies that go perfectly with the vocals. |
6 | | Mineral The Power Of Falling
Gosh, can't even describe this album. You have to see for yourself. |
7 | | Sunny Day Real Estate Diary
Forgot to mention this band way up there at the top, but oh well. Catchy guitar,
drums, vocals, everything. |
8 | | Sharks Keep Moving Self Titled
Old Minus The Bear pretty much, except way more emo less effects, which I
personally like as equally as MTB. |
9 | | Penfold Amateurs And Professionals
Such a good album, with awesome clean guitar parts with a perfect amount of
great, raspy/"whiny" singing lol. |
10 | | Audience of One Audience of One
Anthony Green's (Circa Survive) old band. Very catchy tunes with Anthony
Green's high pitch singing. Perfect combination. |
11 | | Fireside Hello Kids
Weird vocals with heavy (but melodic) guitar parts. Weird, but oddly accessible.
One song to look at: "Headacher". |
12 | | Jejune This Afternoon's Malady
Girl vocals, guy harmonies, extremely pretty guitar parts. What more could you
ask for? |
13 | | Joie de Vivre The North End
Don't hate me for this, I know it's not 90's, but it's one of the best emo-revival
albums I've ever heard. Perfectly depressing. This SHOULD be in the top 3 of my
list. |
14 | | The Promise Ring 30 Degrees Everywhere
I've listened to mainly "A Picture Postcard" by them, but that alone is worth
listing. Off-key singing, but it flows regardless. |
15 | | Texas Is The Reason Blue Boy
Very catchy/minimal guitar riffs. Definitely worth checking out. |
