A list has been compiled of 10 rock bands from the 1990s that failed to live up to expectations. Other lists have also been created, highlighting bands from the 1980s and 1990s that did not achieve the success they deserved, as well as solo projects by members of notable 1990s bands. The focus on bands from past decades suggests a nostalgic look back at the music of the 1980s and 1990s.
