Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, Bad Religion, REM
Sadly all their iconic/best stuff was pre-1990 (possible exception of Goo).
The Diamond Sea and Therese’s Sound-World are both 90s. Some of their greatest tunes.

Some cringe recommendations on here by others.

Wish Fulfillment is another great one from Dirty that’s worth mentioning.

As for cringe recommendations, most of us are suggesting pop rock or whatever, because I doubt OPs 90s cover band are ready for tracks like ‘Desert Search for Techno Allah’ or what have you. (It’s an amazing track though)

I went to a local show last year and one of the bands covered that Lit song then as a joke, the next band went "we're going to play a cover" and layed into the opening riff of that song, lol.
