Top ’90s Alternative Artists

Introduction Better Than Ezra, Eve 6, Sugar Ray and Uncle Kracker hit Wolf Trap on Thursday night. All four artists continue to put out new music, but all four were born out of the 1990s alternative movement. So what better time to count down the Top 25 Alternative Artists of the ’90s? NOTE: Alt-Rock stations cast a wide net throughout the ’90s — playing everything from rock to punk, ska to grunge, and even some metal — so we did our best to rank them all accordingly. Listen below for audio headlights, then click through the gallery to see where your favorites rank.
