UK
All of the Brit-pop 90s bands which sound about the same but have a great sound I really enjoy. :) None of them stand out enough to be singled out as special.

Most of the music I listened to in the 90s besides the above was Belgian and Canadian experimental stuff.

Another great decade for music!

US:
Nine Inch Nails
Primus
Dream Theater
Alice In Chains
Tool

(and so many more like Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Counting Crows, Black Crowes, Live, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.)

UK:
Oasis
Placebo
Radiohead
Seal
The Verve

I corrected my UK acts as I did that in a hurry and forgot 2 acts I truly think rule and somehow forgot. Anyway, the US wins this decade by a mile.

Whoops, I only put 4 US bands, and left off Nine Inch Nails! That's my fifth, even though they went to crap after the Downward Spiral.

Top US
Soundgarden

What can I say? The grunge era was unbelievable. It's not for nothing that they're playing all of the above on classic rock stations now.

Top UK
Blur
Prodigy
Radiohead
Jamiroquai
Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine

All good, but U.S. wins.
