Beck's album Odelay is being recognized for its 30th anniversary, with some outlets crediting it as an album that redefined alternative music in the late 1990s. However, other albums from the same era, including those by the Dave Matthews Band, Backstreet Boys, Stone Temple Pilots, The Cure, The Wallflowers, and Rage Against The Machine, are also marking 30-year milestones. The significance of these albums in shaping alternative rock is being revisited, although it is unclear which one had the most impact.
