One of the most influential and gifted frontman of all time. Kurt Cobain one of the greatest. Spawning another great band, Foo Fighters. Nirvana will be remembered generations upon gernerations.
Nirvana was truly an idol in the world of rock for a lot of reasons. There songs had meaning. They experimented with what you could do with music period. Kurt was a legend and will be remember for years to come. His music was truly inspirational to many people and bands
Best band I love it! A legend. A magnificent band. The band that changed rock and kurt cobain was a legend too bad he killed himself. Long live Nirvana! Nirvana will be remembered generations upon generations!
More comments about NirvanaP.S. this is supposed to be a list of the top hard rock bands of the 1990s?!? Get Bon Jovi the hell off of here! They are an 80s band all the way! I would rather see Seven Mary Three make the list because at least they were a 90's band!

RIP Layne Staley.
Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrod! I'm surprised they arent No.1!
Green had a lot of great songs in the 90s: Basket Case, When I Come Around, Brain Stew, Geek Stink Breath, Hitchin a Ride, Scattered, Redundant not to mention songs from 1039 and Kerplunk. They revitalized punk and brought it back to the world. Number 15 is way too low!
Coolist mixture of music. Feels like I'm listening to five different bands at once.
Pumpkins were GIANTS of the 90's rock scene. They belong in the top ten! There first three albums... Gish, Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie are all alt rock classics!
Not just limited to hard rock, but their heavier songs certainly rock out with the very best. An Ode to No One rocks hardest for me. The Pumpkins are an essential listen for any fans of rock.

The Contenders
But they were definitely better in the 2000's. Aurora, Generator, Breakout, For all the cows: all quality songs from the 90's!
All I can say is "facepalm". Monkey Wrench, Everlong, My Hero etc.

With Chris Cornell's vocals and Kim Thayil's guitar riffs. Soundgarden is with out a doubt the greatest rock band of the the 90s. "Superunknown" alone secures the title.I don't need to say much more.
WAY underrated! When I think of my childhood and reflect on the 90's, I think of Soundgarden. What a band. In my opinion the most diversity of any band of the 90's, from the more mellow "Blow up the Outside World" or "The Day I Tried to Live" to the harder "Fell on Black Days" or "Pretty Noose", this band did it all. Greatest band ever...
Soundgarden, best band of the 90s with out a doubt, but where is Faith No More they deserve to be in the top 5 at least. Badmotorfinger and Superunknown two of the most defining albums of the 90s. Chris Cornell has the greatest vocal chords in all of Rock. Chris Cornell is without a doubt the king of alternative rock.
You picture or hear 90s rock, you see STONE TEMPLE PILOTS.
More songs of STP are played on today's radio stations than any other band from the 90's.
Dimebag, Vinnie Paul, Rex and Phil. Best band to ever live, definitely most talented metal act to walk the earth. RIP DIME.
The best guitarist, best drumer, add in a great singer and a good bassist. You get the best band of all time. The band got me through so many times in my life from anger to having my children. Number 1 for me all the way!
Seeing Sublime (w/Rome) tomorrow night... Not sure how I feel about a guy that has to put his name in the band to set it apart, but we'll see!
Revolutionized... A new genre... Grunge metal... Never been done till KoRn came around
Freak on a Leash and Blind defined the 1990's! Way underrated band. Should be much higher than this!

Even Heavy Metal Is on this list
I thought this is meant to be Hard Rock not Grunge/Metal/Punk or Alternative
Bloody hell, how can one of the greatest "hard rock" bands be this low on the list... Behind many bands that are not regarded as hard rock at all?
I mention Nirvana, Green day, Red hot chilli peppers and Pearl Jam just to mention a few! This bands aren't even hardrock, what are they doing on this list?
Woah why is it on 49? With hallowed be thy name, fear of the dark it should be on top three at least!
Anthrax was a much better band than anyone else on this list. I mean, Tool? Seriously? Anthrax had great metal music that was good without being pretentious.
The albums The Real Thing and Angel Dust are definitely 90's classics! Very talented yet obscure band.
They should belong to top 10, very unique band... Don't know how to describe them.. But they rock hard with their unique style... You should listen to them if you are a band member
Consistent and heavy, never changed their sound for the populat vote. Slayer is Slayer and always will be.
