God you suck at music.

The Pixies. They may not fall under pop/rock.

[RichC.]

Trivium, though more metal than rock.

[The Ocho]

stone temple pilots

collective soul

[Banks2334]

Foo Fighters was the first band that came to mind.
Old school-AC/DC

[snagglepuss]

weezer is pretty pop-tacular.

[guids]

queen

[Aloysius]

U2 is a good choice by Nadjor. The Police aren't the best, but I think deserve a mention.

You guys are all nuts with the FNM nominations. I'm a huge fan, but almost nobody liked them outside of Epic.

And the weird (or maybe not that weird) thing is that "The Real Thing" is by far their worst album with Patton. The admittedly-uncommercial album "Angel Dust" that followed that is perhaps one of the most genius recordings ever to emerge under the imprint of a major label, and the one after that, "King For a Day, Fool For A Lifetime", isn't much worse. And don't even get me started on the Bungle albums, especially "Disco Volante", which I would rank as the best album of the 1990s put out by -anybody-.

Here's another band that won't get much mention, probably, but deserves to be remembered as a great pop-rock band...the Smithereens. No gimmicks, only a couple small hits, just a no-nonsense high-quality rock and roll band that always delivered the goods. Highly underrated band.
