10 Amazing '90s Bands That Everyone Forgot About

10. Kula Shaker

As soon as the waves of grunge started to fizzle out, rock started getting a lot more optimistic across the pond. Once acts like Oasis started climbing up the charts, the Britpop movement ushered in a new brand of rock and roll, bringing back the loud guitars and a subtle retro vibe dating back to the Summer of Love style of rock. While the Gallagher Brothers may have gotten their inspiration from '60s Beatles, Kula Shaker were a lot more in the vein of psychedelia.

Throughout records like K, you can see the kind of jam band scene that they were trying to create, especially on songs like Govinda that build the entire song off of just one chord. Compared to the happy go lucky side of things, this was the kind of rock and roll that catered to the more stoner rock set, as if a band like the Grateful Dead had been born just a few decades too late.

The aesthetic wasn't just window dressing either, with the band getting more into the psychedelic aspects of their sound later down the road, and still managing to have some great solo work mixed in on songs like Hey Dude. Britpop may have only been around for a little while, but the bands in the scene were far from just one note. These were the kind of people that learned all the lessons that the '60s had to teach and were trying to share it with the next generation of rockers.
