I just have to say that you guys saying Tool isn't the 90's are completely wrong.
I bought Opiate when it first came out in 1992. It is still by far my favorite Tool album.
The video for Sober got a lot of heavy MTV rotation in the early 90's when they still played music videos.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion no matter how incorrect it is. 
To me Tool didn't even begin to suck until the 2000's, lol.

Right off the top of my head I would pick System of a Down, In Flames, Nirvana, or Slayer

In my worthless opinion, as far as straight up rock n roll bands go, The Supersuckers are number one in the 90's, the 00's, and the 10's.
They play rock n roll songs about rock n roll, oftentimes with rock n roll right there in the song title.

Yes, what is the rationale for this idiocy? They formed in 1990 and their two best-selling albums were released in the 90s. What more is needed to qualify? Disbanding before 2000?

Yeah, but they didn't release Lateralus until after the 90's were over.

What 80s rock band is better?
And not a 70s rock band that happened to make a shit album in 81.
Talking Heads, The Smiths, The Police.
Also Rage Against the Machine is better than Alie in Chains. Not to say they weren't a really good band, but they weren't the best band from the 90's.

90's death metal was zee best 90s genre 
All other 'rock' genres seemed to pride themselves on dumbing down and simplifying their music, which is an understandable reaction after the wankery of the 80s - but it went too far.

Sorry.

How do you even know? By your own admission you were still pooping in your pants when their first album came out, lol.
By the way, RATM is what got me into Tool in the first place.
Since Maynard was on their first album and all....

Tool is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 1990, the group's line-up includes drummer Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, and vocalist Maynard James Keenan. Since 1995, Justin Chancellor has been the band's bassist, replacing their original bassist Paul D'Amour.

Tool is definitely from the 90's...if your argument is that they 'don't count' because lateralus came out in 2001 then you are forgetting their album from 96 Aenima...which is a damn classic.
I was just listening to aic when I saw this thread. They were one of the best. It helps that they ended early because they didn't have a chance to get old and make shitty albums..at least layne didn't just like nirvana. Aic has come out with a couple new albums recently. Black gives way too blue which had a few classic caliber songs. And their most recent one had one classic song. It helps that Cantrell did a lot of vocals back in the day so it not completely different.
But look at all the other 90's bands have released shit albums recently Soundgarden-king animal Pearl jam-lightning bolt Stone temple pilots- self titled Red hot chili peppers- I'm with you Janes addiction- the great escape artist
I'm surprised no one has mentioned faith no more...they were amazing to me! They came out with a new album recently which is excellent. People are also forgetting Janes addiction!!! Ritual de lo habitual is legendary. My proof is the songs 'three days' and 'then she did'. Janes addiction broke in 90 and faith no more 89. A considerable amount of time before nirvana
