All those bands had their pros and cons. To this day if I had to pick only 5 songs to listen to the rest of my life, "1979" and "No Rain" would be two of them. Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam tunes wouldnt even be in my top 50.

I think Smashing Pumpkins best songs were far better than Pearl Jam or Foo Fighters but around 2000 Pumpkins became irrelivant. I also saw 2000 Summersult and left half way through the Pumpkins set, too much Machina stuff.

I believe Deftones played in BC only that year, you can lump them in with the really good bands of that era.

No one is as good as TOOL though.
