OLP is the best band of the nineties! 
Man warn me before making jokes like that! I nearly spit grapes all over the place
Seriously OLP was a cool band in the 90's. One of Canada's Top 5. But Definatly NOT the best in the 90's.

Radiohead, Soundgarden, The Queens Of The Stone Age, The Pixies, Janes Addiction, Tool, hell even Korn And Deftones, could be considered pretty important.
The list could get a lot longer, those are just mainstream bands that come to head because they've accomplished something and had their own style, or a major effect on other copy-cat bands.

Well if you're talking major effect on copy-cats than surely Nirvana and Pearl Jam must be mentioned. Eventhough I don't particularly love either.
I just go by quality and quantity of output when comparing bands. Radiohead have the defining 90s record and one other excellent one. Pavement may be the only band with two top 10 albums of the 90s. Then you have the Lips who have, imo, the best album of the 90s and two other excellent ones.
Most other notable bands I can think of only have one classic 90s album.

yeah i thought of adding Nirvana and Pearl Jam, they're both great artists, but i think there is also a lot of hype about them. Soundgarden was the orginator of that sound, put out more albums then Nirvana, and probably was the most technically talented.

these bands would make my list
radiohead
pavement
the flaming lips
had wilco and modest mouse released "yankee hotel foxtrot" and "the moon and antarctica" in the 90s, they'd be way up there
aeroplane over the sea was probably the third best album of the nineties
loveless was pretty fucking good too
built to spill and guided by voices were fairly consistent throughout the 90s as well
the nineties were such a fragmented period in music, though. one genre would ride out another, so i find it hard to determine the important movements.
i can't really think of anything else, i haven't slept much

i'd probably give the pixies and sonic youth some credit there too with regards to nirvana

You know your stuff. Talk Talk was probably the most significant thing you missed, but other than that I agree purely.
