Garbage

Garbage, the alt-rock alchemists formed in the mid-'90s, weren't just a band – they were a sonic experiment gone gloriously right. Shirley Manson's vocals could seduce a snake, while Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, and Butch Vig served up a smorgasbord of industrial beats, distorted guitars, and rebellious attitude. With hits like "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains," Garbage became the soundtrack for the angsty misfits, proving that trash could indeed be treasure.
