I mean, it's no "So What'Cha Want" that's for sure.

90s are a tough call.

Nirvana is a lock. Oasis/Blur is a great call. Pearl Jam was still a formidable act at that point. Metallica sucked but we’re massive.

I’ll go Nine Inch Nails.  3 amazing releases that decade which is more than any of the above acts can claim. Massive Attack can claim this as well, tho.

How can a band like Blur who 99% of the world has no idea who they are be considered for this thread?

Song 2

So one song that was heavily used for adverts qualifies the band for owning the 90s?

I change my answer to Fatboy Slim and Moby.

Sorry Oasis strongly over Blur as far as song recognition by the average Josephine.

two reasons:
1) denizens of this board have their heads so far up their own asses they don't realize what they're saying, and
2) we never defined what "owned" means.  most hits?  most recognizable/popular?  most influential to other musicians?  most albums sold?  biggest social impact?  longest hair?!?

my reading is that most folks here are either naming most recognizable/popular, or the band(s) they happen to like (because everyone here has impeccable taste, so if they like a band then clearly it must be the best from that era, right?)

A+, would read again.

Could the creator of this thread make some parameters?

I'd say that is what Kozmo is using as his definition of 'owned'

The Verve. Forgot about them.  Shame on all of us

2 amazing albums and another very good one. Lots of great b-sides and a stellar EP. Likely the best catalog of any artist that decade.

Their debut came out in 1991.
