1993 and 1994 were the years of "post grunge"--a string of commercial rock hits following in the wake of Nirvana and Pearl Jam. I was largely dismissive of these bands at the time, but maybe I liked them better than I thought I did, because it's not unpleasant hearing some of them again. (Silverchair is still no good, though.) So here are a few honorable mentions:
And this one. This is not one of Radiohead's better songs, in fact, the part that I liked best about this song may actually have been lifted from a Hollies song from the 70s, but Radiohead would go on to greater things. The band had met with little success in their home country, the UK, and they were about ready to throw in the towel when this song became an unexpected hit in the States and other countries around the world.
