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. |
