The ‘90s was one of the most prolific eras in Filipino music history. There was a steady stream of pop hits care of balladeers and divas playing on the airwaves, but the so-called OPM alternative rock explosion—an influx of Pinoy bands that took over the music scene—made room for then unsigned bands to gain mainstream popularity, play in sold-out gigs, snag major record label deals, and enjoy massive radio airplay. Inspired by foreign acts, homegrown bands normalized genres that were new to Filipino listeners.

Some might argue that this list shouldn’t even exist, that it might merely contain subjective comparisons which won’t sit well with others. But this isn’t about pitting bands against one another; it’s about highlighting their achievements and recognizing their contributions to the Filipino music landscape, regardless of genre.

The list includes bands that saw prominence and produced outstanding music in the ’90s, and some may have been formed earlier. It does not include bands that were formed in the '90s but were at their prime only in the decade that followed. The bands on this list are referred to as "'90s bands" by the majority, and often if not always associated with the '90s era.

After careful consideration and a painstaking review of their discography, bands were selected based on the following criteria: quality of work, skill, and overall talent (Was their original material from the ‘90s any good? Were they exceptional as songwriters/musicians? Would you consider them talented and were they recognized for their work?); sphere of influence (To what extent have these bands touched the lives of listeners and inspired future generations of musicians?); and legacy (Have these bands helped define the music from that era, OPM as a whole, and Pinoy pop culture in general? Can their songs be considered masterpieces or classics 10, 20, or more years after they were written?).
