I'm trying to think of the last big hits for a lot of "mainstream", "everyone had their t-shirt/went to their concerts/watched them on MTV" acts. Meaning...they predate 2000 or so.
I'm trying to "guess" what a WRQK/WMMS playlist would be. (I swear I've heard "Synchroncity II" on WMMS.)
Aerosmith- Jaded, 2001
Van Halen- Me Wise Magic, 1996/Without You, 1998 (Don't know whether to "count" Gary Cherone)
Led Zeppelin/Page/Plant-Most High, 1998
Nirvana- About a Girl, 1994/You Know You're Right, 2002
Soundgarden-Blow Up The Outside World, 1996
Pearl Jam- Given to Fly, 1998
Alice in Chains-Heaven Besides You, 1996
Pink Floyd- High Hopes, 1994
Motley Crue-Don't Go Away Mad, 1990
Guns N' Roses- Sympathy for the Devil, 1994
Rush- Test for Echo, 1996
John Mellancamp- Peaceful World, 2001
Sting/The Police- Desert Rose, 2000
The Eagles-Get Over It, 1994
Smashing Pumpkins-Ava Adore, 1998
Rage Against the Machine-Renegades of Funk 2001
Tom Petty- You Don't Know How it Feels, 1994
Rolling Stones-Love is Strong, 1994
Bruce Springsteen- Secret Garden, 1997
Ozzy/Black Sabbath-Dreamer, 2001
AC/DC- Stiff Upper Lip, 2000
RHCP, Weezer, U2, Green Day are pretty much "ongoing" at this point. The quality of a few of their recent singles are up for debate.
For cross reference? These are the first time a lot of the groups that are currently on the mainstream rock charts first had a big single
Shinedown- 45, 2003
Disturbed- Down with the Sickness, 2000
Godsmack-Voodoo, 2000
Papa Roach-Last Resort, 2000
Five Finger Death Punch- Bad Company, 2010
Halestorm- I Get Off, 2009
Slipknot-Duality, 2004
Three Days Grace- I Hate Everything About You, 2003
Chevelle- The Red, 2002
KoRn-Got the Life, 1998
Staind- It's Been AWhile, 2001
Creed-Higher, 2001
Nickelback-How You Remind Me, 2001
Seether-Broken, 2004
Puddle of Mudd-Blurry, 2001
Breaking Benjaimin-So Cold, 2004
Fuel-Shimmer, 1998
So it appears that a lot of the more popular acts began to see a few artists disappear around 1994 or so. It really "picked up" from 1996 until around 2001.
Flipside? KoRn and Fuel were the first around 1998.
Then from 2000 until 2004? A lot of their partners in crime "joined up" and that's why we seem to be where we are now.
