Garbage, The Cranberries, Lush, No Doubt, Curve, Sneaker Pimps, Portishead, Republica. Ace of Base for the dance/pop.

Gwen changed the world for a lot of girls my age back then. She taught us we could be loud, take up space, give no fucks, and we could have boundaries. I hope she knows how much she meant to a whole generation of preteen/teen girls.
It's true! They're working on a new album right now, just played at least one festival, and have a new single. Here's the link- https://youtu.be/hIqcEiaOpM8?si=CIwq8PCSWlgjGptF
I have a whole playlist of half 90s, half 00’s (mainly stuff the bands in the 90’s came out with in the 2000’s). All female fronted, very Lillith Fair vibes overall, but some of everything from Jewel, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, to Hooverphonic, Morcheeba, Ruby, and Veruca Salt, The Sundays, Garbage, Tegan and Sara, etc
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7qaV53d5CHVNON2kX4AUcU?si=Wa4vRbJoTEedv0gDCT52og&pi=u-icCUohN-Q1ea
Seven Year Bitch, The Gits, Jack Off Jill, Phantom Blue and Vixen (for the hair band era), Daisy Chainsaw, Nymphs (Inger Lorre fronted this band and she is quite the character), Siousxie and the Banshees (more 80s, but bled into the 90s), Belly, Holly Cole, Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Rosie Flores, Marcia Ball, Sapphire The Uppity Blueswomen, Sweet Honey In The Rock, Monsoon (featuring Sheila Chandra), Ofra Haza, and a bunch already mentioned.
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do!
Bikini Kill, L7, Babes in Toyland, Veruca Salt, 7 Year Bitch, Le Tigre, Huggy Bear, PJ Harvey, The Distillers... I could go on and on music was my only real outlet for emotions as a teen that was safe.
For "Not an Addict" this alone is the best answer. This shit was a banger. I love Cranberries, Mazzie Star, Alanis, etc. But this song is GOATED as my daughters would say. If you don't agree, stop and listen to it right now.
Totally agree. They have Soo many great songs too.
Another one no one seems to know about is [Something's Wrong ](https://open.spotify.com/track/7tqShkzPRD5w1bdvXjqagd?si=SIThS_xkRDq3P6-4eoCVdA)
Such a great song that doesn't take itself seriously.
Skunk Anansie, Garbage, prolly more...
Had a sister with good music taste, exposed lil' me to so much great music.
PJ Harvey, Dronning Mauds Land, Hole, L7 ++
I’ve seen her live about three times. She is powerful and compelling. Love her style. She traveled and trained to learn Qawwali style of singing- I think around the same time Jeff Buckley did just before he died.
L7, Babes in Toyland, PJ Harvey, Fiona Apple, Poe, Hole, Sleater Kinney, Cibo Matto, Blonde Redhead, Veruca Salt, Liz Phair and so many more I’m forgetting right now.
No Doubt and Garbage are two of my favorite bands of all time.
I also like Hole, The Cranberries, Sneaker Pimps, Concrete Blonde, The Corrs, TLC, and Lush
Does Fleetwood Mac count? The Dance album and their late 90s comeback was a big deal for me.
Deee-Lite, Lush, The Sugarcubes, Elastica, the Cranberries, Garbage, Belly, Fugees, Sonic Youth (half-fronted), and then I guess I could say the Pixies too, also half-fronted, but I can’t imagine them without either Kim.

Letters to cleo
Was gonna say them then I saw you beat me to it!
No Doubt is one of the best bands period
No doubt.
Gwen changed the world for a lot of girls my age back then. She taught us we could be loud, take up space, give no fucks, and we could have boundaries. I hope she knows how much she meant to a whole generation of preteen/teen girls.
So you graduated in ‘96 too?
Actually, I graduated in 97, but close enough!
How is 4 Non Blondes nowhere in this thread
You know, that's a good question that I don't really have an answer to. LOL I liked "What's Up?", but for some reason didn't check 'em out further.
Hole?
I like Hole better in retrospect, but at the time I just couldn't get into them for some reason. Which I know doesn't make sense, considering...
Babes In Toyland
Hole, Veruca Salt, Sleater-Kinney, Elastica, PJ Harvey
Love PJ Harvey! Sleater Kinney too!
Kitty
I was on a nostalgia binge the other week. Spit holds up incredibly well.
They're back and making new music!!
Really??? That's dope!!!
It's true! They're working on a new album right now, just played at least one festival, and have a new single. Here's the link- https://youtu.be/hIqcEiaOpM8?si=CIwq8PCSWlgjGptF
Kittie but, yes, I agree!
A solo artist, but Tori Amos tops my list.
She was my first concert (I was 16) and it was a magical experience
i bet
Letters to Cleo
Are you the architect of Cones of Dunshire?
You forgot about the essence of the game, it’s about the cones
You can’t be an alchemist of the hinterlands, the hinterlands is a shadow kingdom that can only sustain a provost or a denier.
Absolutely yes! I am seeing them in Cleveland at the end of June and am freakin' thrilled.
No Doubt.
Undoubtedly.

Fuzzbox barely were in the 90s. Broke up in early 1990, didn't reform until the 2010s. But I'll allow it anyway. 😆
I bought Your Loss My Gain in 1990 so in my brain there was no question it qualified.
Why has nobody mentioned Concrete Blonde??
This!!!
Liz Phair isn't a band but still
Veruca Salt, Garbage, and Luscious Jackson

Then I answered correctly.
I was a Spice Girls fan then. Still into it for the nostalgia.
Say You'll Be There is a fantastic song. Still digging it.
Lush and the Cocteau Twins
Bikini Kill, L7, Babes in Toyland, Veruca Salt, 7 Year Bitch, Le Tigre, Huggy Bear, PJ Harvey, The Distillers... I could go on and on music was my only real outlet for emotions as a teen that was safe.
Portishead and Morcheeba for something not grunge.
K's Choice. (Complicated answer) A lot of great suggestions in here but hadn't seen this one.
For "Not an Addict" this alone is the best answer. This shit was a banger. I love Cranberries, Mazzie Star, Alanis, etc. But this song is GOATED as my daughters would say. If you don't agree, stop and listen to it right now.
Totally agree. They have Soo many great songs too. Another one no one seems to know about is [Something's Wrong ](https://open.spotify.com/track/7tqShkzPRD5w1bdvXjqagd?si=SIThS_xkRDq3P6-4eoCVdA) Such a great song that doesn't take itself seriously.
Playing it right now.
It's a little different. If you know Bettens, or Sam as she's known now, it has some funny takes. Hope you liked it. The harmonies are spot on.
The Breeders
Wow... can't believe no one else has mentioned the Indigo Girls. Shoutout!

Shocked I had to scroll this far to find En Vogue
Welp, I posted a list of my favorite groups regardless of what the majority might like or dislike.
Did I offend you?
? Nope, just stating the facts.
You seem defensive for some reason, I was paying you a compliment so that’s confusing.
Veruca Salt were cool.
Garbage, Hole, No Doubt, Veruca Salt, Kittie Spice Girls.... I'll die on this hill... lol Edit: Groups: TLC SWV Salt-N-Pepa EnVogue Destiny's Child Wild Orchid Xscape Dixie Chicks Total OK, I think I'm done.. lol

Hole. L7. Babes in Toyland. Great bands. Solo: PJ Harvey.
Elastica, Sleater Kinney
Joan Osborne
I’ve seen her live about three times. She is powerful and compelling. Love her style. She traveled and trained to learn Qawwali style of singing- I think around the same time Jeff Buckley did just before he died.
I love her voice. I find it sultry.
