Ooooo awesome! I'm well familiar with this era of tunes — Goo Goo Dolls, Alanis Morissette, Counting Crows, Spin Doctors, Sheryl Crow, Wallflowers, Blind Melon, Third Eye Blind — so many goodies, I can't name'em all but am so glad you put this together! 🙌 I recommend adding Blues Traveler; they seem to fit the bill.

A lot of this music made a big comeback with my friend group in college. And actually, my senior year of college, Third Eye Blind played a show locally (in Wilmington, NC... a small town). At the time, it felt like a big deal, like they must've heard our call, haha. Sadly, I didn't make it to the show, but I heard it was a good one.

Of all the bands in this era, I think I like Blind Melon the most. "No Rain" is absolutely a fantastic song, but they have so many other good ones that didn't get enough radio attention! I really love "Tones of Home" and their cover of "The Pusher." Not to mention, their alternate version of "No Rain" freaking rocks — it has elements that remind me of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks"!
