From 90 on?To qualify they must have produced new material, not just touring and playing old hits.
My choice without giving it a ton of thought is Radiohead. I present you the following live video from 1997. This just blows me away.

Counting crows, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Counting crows is by far the best IMO just because of their live shows. They never play a song the same as their album. They always put a new twist on it. At first that reallly pissed me off, I wanted to sing along at the concert on beat. Then I grew to appreciate the new renditions and pure genius that Adam has in his brain. Backstage watching warmups at the Vogue was the highlight for me, I doubt I’ll top that for a musical experience in my life time.
Loved the Vogue back in the day. Saw some great shows there. Still kicking? Best music venue here in Charlotte is a smaller outdoor venue... probably the nicest I've been to. I'd guess it seats around 6-7k. Several restaurants and bars nearby, easy parking and in/out, easy to tailgate... always a good experience. I've seen Greta Van Fleet, Dwight Yoakam (with Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams... LSD tour!), Straight No Chaser and Chris Stapleton there. All fun shows.
It’s still kicking. They changed ownership about two years ago. I used to be the entertainment manager there from 1994-96. The show I’m most proud to have been associated with was Johnny Cash and his whole family was with him. $40 ticket back then for 900 people.pretty sure it’s called something else now, but pre COVID it was alive and well. Neat venue for sure.

I think it was assumed that Nickelback is the greatest, and the question is who really is #2I dunno...Nickelback?
I assumed it was just rock bands.Not a single Wilco mention?
or Coldplay, or Creed.I dunno...Nickelback?

Eh, in my opinion it's just music..from a variety of influences ..How would you classify Wilco? Rock is generic of course, but it is also largely absent these days. Some of their alt country stuff borders on southern rock. Some of their indie stuff borders on indie rock. Their last 10 years or so are certainly dad rock.

Music hasn't changed much in 900 years. Different tones, different instruments, different lyrical topics, same 7 notes, same scales, same beats.That stuff is all to "new" for me.
Long live the 60's & 70's!!!
Also, Uncle Tupelo was so much better.How would you classify Wilco? Rock is generic of course, but it is also largely absent these days. Some of their alt country stuff borders on southern rock. Some of their indie stuff borders on indie rock. Their last 10 years or so are certainly dad rock.

I have a love hate relationship with Radiohead and Wilco. I like them for about 10 to 15 minutes, tops, then I hate them if they continue playing any longer. I have the same relationship with some jazz and most bluegrass but for different reasons. Small doses only.Radiohead is definitely worthy of a top five nod. Sofa King good. (Is someone out there trying to say that choice is ghey??? Did i read that right?). Wilco is pretty worthy, even if i dont love all their stuff.
I agree, favorite band is the better word to use. As for bands somewhat under the radar that I think are absolutely worthy of votes I’ll suggest the following:From 90 on?
What you mean is "favorite" not best. Favorite is subjective and based on opinion, best is objective and based on knowledge and talent and seldom are they the same.
Rage Against the Machine
then ..
Jane's Addiction
Pearl Jam
Umphrey’s McGee
Radiohead
Radiohead is fine, if you don't like melody, harmony, tempo, counter melody, tone, dynamics, rhythm, or beat. vbg
That era has been dominated by Hip Hop, and 'Americana' (ie real country music not assclown bro country) also had a huge impact.
@WarisonNot gonna lie I’m kinda ashamed to say this, but March box 20 made a cd that is probably a top 5 album all time for me. When you can remember walking to the bus humming the tune “Im a lil bit rusty” while wearing big baggy corduroy rusty brand shorts, those songs become way better than they actually are.

nor has English/American literature then.
same words, same punctuation, same chapters, paragraph and sentence structure, same verbs repeated over and over, same 26 letters in the alphabet, never coming up with any new ones..
you'd think at least someone with daring and creativity could come along and at least challenge capitalizing letters in the same places over and over and over again, just copying how everyone before them did it..
The Verve?
My personal fav is Stereophonics -- seen them live more often than any other bands in the past 30yrs.
