If I read "Band" as "Act":

Phish.

Literally nothing can touch their 90s catalog.

Dave Matthews Band should probably get a mention but I'm personally not too big of a fan. The band themselves are pretty good though. White Stripes and Modest Mouse deserve to be in the discussion as well.

although their best material was released in the early-mid 80's, iron maiden should be in the discussion. they're still making good records and filling venues all over the world.

Best live band over that era has been Dream Theater.

This month they are being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm going to make a really bold claim and say that "Weird Al Yankovic" should win the title of best artist of the last quarter century. What a voluminous, varied, and complete catelog topped off with a number one album last year, and that may not have even been his best album. 1999's Running with Scissors is a satirical story-telling genius.

Pearl Jam
Nirvana
Blind Melon
Tool
NIN
Rage Against The Machine

Nirvana made the two most important albums of the last 25 years in Nevermind and In Utero. No one has made anything as brilliant, edgy, and important since.

Pearl Jam are a monster. No one important died, and they have been steadily trucking a long, still make new music, and still pack out the biggest venues.

Blind Melon with Shannon Hoon may not have lasted very long, but I'm not sure they made a bad song. Those few albums were great top to bottom.

I'm not sure Tool they have the mainstream appeal of the above but an important and huge band none the less.

NIN aren't my favorite on my list but I respect the shite out of that band.

RATM somehow were a good enough band that they could get away with being militant pinkos and still be one of the biggest bands on the planet.
