This, of course, has to go to the Pixies. So many bands of the 1990s list them as their influence it is hard to argue this any other way.
You’re gonna hate me for this Mike, but I’d say Coldplay. That is if the 90’s are even the decade we want to assign them to. Critically, there’s not much to complain about. In a world full of auto-tuned pop-stars and DJ-super-producers, not many haven taken the path that Coldplay has. Even in the 90’s we started to watch “band-music” start to die, but somehow these guys still became one of the biggest bands in the world.
Nirvana, but then Courtney Love had to have her hubby knocked off and made it look like a suicide to further her career.

So many to choose from:
Oasis
Blur
The verve
Nirvana
Coldplay
Pulp (not sure if you could really count this)
Pearl Jam
Green day
Radiohead
I recommend you listen to them all
