anyone get into bands like these

NOFX
everclear
Rancid
sum 41

buckcherry
weezer
smashing pumpkins
rage against the machine

stuff like this???

Feel The Fear
And Do It Anyway

those bands seem vastly different.

buckcherry is great. straight up rock

rage against the machine was cool in the 90's and glad they supposedly won't record new music. tom morello is one of the last new guitar players that had a unique style

smashing pumpkins should have stopped recording new music when they first broke up

weezer's first album is cool. "buddy holly" and "say it ain't so" are amazing.


I have an everclear greatest hits. they have a few good tunes.

Bunch of crap bands...

RATM were great.

i like about half those bands in varying degrees

I really like the first RATM album. That was huge when I was young. Smashing Pumpkins have a couple of great singles.

As has been said, they are all very different bands. Buckcherry I fully admit are kinda childish rock, but for awhile were the only think on the scene that were straight up rock. Yes, slightly unoriginal, but it got the job done and for awhile album after album were truly worth listening too. Haven't felt that way since All Night Long, and I understand the criticism against them, but if you gave them a shot they were sincere in keeping rock alive for a bit.

Weezer is totally different. Another GREAT band, with their first 5 or so albums (through Make Believe) are incredibly solid. They then put out way too many albums after that, but Weezer has their own sound and a great lyricist in Rivers. Again, maybe not everyone's style, but they have at least one song I think everyone can appreciate. Underrated band that weren't as big as a Nirvana or Pearl Jam but a foundation of that sort of 90s music, IMO. Not grunge, but just 90s alternative.

Never really got into Pumpkins or Rage.

Your first 4 are all kinda similar, and again I admit to just not knowing them. I know like A Sum 41 song but thats it. To me, they are all "fine" bands but never reached the level of a Blink 182, who are seen as childish by many but the music was solid and holds up. There success in that genre was not an accident. All those other bands wished to get to a level that Blink and only a few other bands actually achieved, IMO of course.

NOFX (not heard much)
ever clear (ditto)
Rancid (excellent, as is side project Transplants)
sum 41 (couple of good singles)

buck cherry (good)
weezer (excellent - recent album too)
smashing pumpkins (early stuff)
rage against the machine (ditto)

Everclear put out some good rock (Santa Monica).

Like someone else said Buckcherry is somewhat childish but I can't help but like them.

Rage has some good stuff too in small doses, but also as someone else pointed out, Tom Morello is one of the most unique guitar players out there.

Don't care for or haven't heard anything from the others.

RATM were great.

Amazing. They still are, individually. Morello is great with Prophets of Rage, in particular.

Don't care for any of the bands except Smashing Pumpkins. I'm actually not a fan of theirs either but I just love 1979. Probably my favourite song from the 1990's.

smashing pumpkins and rage against the machine were very popular when i was at high school a million years ago
