This is tricky – I liked several bands in the 90s that had actually started in the 80s, or earlier. But this was primarily my punk phase. I liked Bad Religion, Rancid, Social Distortion, Fugazi, Pennywise, NOFX (actually, quite a few bands on the Epitaph and Fat Wreck Chords labels). I liked some more regional bands from California on smaller labels, like the Mr. T Experience (which was on the Bay Area Lookout Records label, which is also where Green Day got its start). I never much cared for the punk bands that found more widespread popularity, like Green Day and Blink 182. I still liked New Order, although its output slowed down, and Depeche Mode. While I had liked the Smiths, I never could get into Morrissey’s solo career. Finally, I really grew to enjoy the German rock/punk band die Ärzte – still do. Unfortunately, it is not as easy to get their stuff here in the U.S. iTunes only carrier their newer stuff – a shame, because their earlier stuff, with less distortion, was really good as well.
