>>1415695>Pixies - DoolittleYou could say they invented the sound Nirvana became known for.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XycBLF6kWuY>Fleshwater - We're Not Here To Be LovedNew band, but heavy callbacks to classic 90's sounds (even their videos look like they're timemachine'd from 1996)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4qp5lRBVgc>The Breeders - Last SplashPixies' bassist Kim Deal doing her own thing, which was a fine decision.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxvkI9MTQw4>Alice In Chains – DirtNirvana contemporaries and legends on their own. Somewhat more of a metal feel to their sound?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTuD8k3JvxQ>Foo Fighters - their self-titled debut + The Colour And The ShapeYou might have heard of this dude Dave Grohl?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqWRaAF6_WY>Sonic Youth - Dirty...but you can basically pick up anything they did between ~1985 and ~2000. Arty, noisy and fucking great band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CXD8PK6Djchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDTSUwIZdMk>Sobsister - SchlaraffenlandThis is an old, unheard of, and far perfect, record but I think it has a couple of tracks somewhat in line with what you're looking for? Not as moody and a bit poppier than Kurt & crew
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58N36i6EnsQ>Buck - Hello HollandAnother utterly unknown band that I saw waaay back, and that I still cannot understand how they didn't blow the fuck up? They were a bit uneven but they had some KILLER songs!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA9qdaRBiPU>My Vitriol - FinelinesBritish indie-gone-major league that got reasonably big in the early 00's: This thing is pure ear candy, like not a single bad track. Also a band lacking Nirvana's angst tho.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egoef0mWIeo>Souls - Bird, Fish or InbetweenLate 90's, basically what you're looking for imo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXa_M49a9Ck>>1415697Good choice; I'd add Soundgarden's Superunknown as well.
