The Fuckin' Breeders, Buffalo Tom, Urge Overkill, Blues Traveler, Paul Westerberg (solo stuff and the last Replacements album), Seven mary 3, Widespread Panic, Sarah Mclaughlin, and Sonic Youth. I hated Sonic Youth. Dont forget Pavement , too. Pavement was nerd rock at it's height. Social Distorion, if you want to go back to, say ’88-199X range.

Those have always been staples in our on-the-road listening and have never faded away. Also Toad the Wet Sprocket when we want something very mellow. Another band that I loved was 10,000 Maniacs. I still like Natalie Merchant ok, but not nearly as much as I loved the band with her as the lead. We’ve got tons of Live, tons of Gin Blossoms.

That would be middle and high school for those who are ancient enough to forget how old I am ;). A lot of the bands have been mentioned but here's a few extra that spring to mind. Soundgarden definitely. Mid nineties was Dave Matthews Under the Table and Dreaming and No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom. The U2 album was Achtung Baby that I remember ('cause Pop was crap), and then there was, of course, Alice in Chains. Can't forget them, even though Layne Staley died after grunge was over and forgotten. I actually first discovered music I would listen to in the early ’90′s, amazingly enough.

I'd just graduated from HS in 1990 so spent half the decade drunk in college and another half learning that I had to pay my own rent and hopping from city to city. What music do I remember? Definitely the Gin Blossoms and Collective Soul. The Spin Doctors. Deep Blue Something because I loved "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Somewhere in that decade I saw the Counting Crows in concert. I also saw one of U2s concerts - there is always a U2 album, no matter what decade you are in. (This is because Bono is my rock and roll god.) Blind Melon's "No Rain" with the video of the bumblebee girl. Embarassingly, I also recall C&C Music Factory, Prince's Diamonds & Pearls, and some angsty ballad by Extreme. It's possible Van Hagar, er, Van Halen also had some hits in there because I recall trekking to Louisville for that concert. (When you're trapped in a sleepy Ky town, you take what you can get. We went to a Van Halen concert.) Which reminds me, and is completely off-topic, but my dad & I are trying rather hard to convince my sports-oriented (as opposed to academic oriented) sisters to go to Morehead next year. I want them out of Northern Ky and on their own. Any thoughts on how I could sell them on Morehead? They already decided against my alma mater (Ky Wesleyan). Well, let’s see.
