'Essentially irrelevant to the masses though. These are inaccessable to the sensibilities of the mainstream listener, I would say. I do however approve of 3/4 of your selections. IMO, although, the other 25% will fade into oblivion if they're not already there. specifically Sigur Ros, 4 non-blonds, Cypress Hill and Garbage. and especially Sixpence None the Richer. Of course that's just me.

I can see what you mean about Garbage, although the particular album was kinda special.
Cypress Hill along side the Beastie boys brought a new alternative sound to rap and hip-hop, which IMO was a good change from this bombardment of untouchable garbage. That's why i mentioned the album.
I must state though that the Sixpence non the richer album, beyond its Pop singles is a very excellent rock album from begining to end.
Sigur Ros will become a legend in music IMO.
And are you kidding about the Four non blondes album? You of all people? This album Rocks!!! take a listen to "Morphine & Chocolate" and get back to me. Blues, rock...lose insanity...abuse, it's got it all!
