I'm a believer that if you search hard enough, there are great bands in all eras. I agree that most of the major's put out products rather than bands, and that the radio also plays shit, but there have been some fantastic bands since the 90s:
For really heavy shit:
Pantera, as mentioned.
Max Caverlera era Sepultura, "Chaos AD" and "Roots" are two of the best, and most innovative, heavy records you'll ever hear.
Machine Head. A staggering band, whose debut "Burn My Eyes" has to be a 90s highlight. There 2007 record, "The Blackening", is also as good as it gets.
Strapping Young Lad (City, in particular, is an schizophrenic head-fuck of a record)
Corrosion of Conformity with Pepper Keenan (one of the world's most underated song-writers. Blind, Deliverance, Wiseblood, America's Volume Dealer and In the Arms of God are all spectacular records)
For dirty rock n roll since the 90s:
Love/Hate
The Supersuckers (amazing good-time punk rock n roll, ass kickin tunes and performances)
Bullets and Octane
Hardcore Superstar
Crystla Pistol
Crank City Daredevils
Salty Dog
Pride & Glory (Zakk Wylde)
The Black Crowes
For great music from the 90s:
N.I.N
Soundgarden
Fu Manchu (possibly the heaviest thing you'll ever hear, in a Black Sabbath/stoner kind of way)
Kyuss (amazing, trully amazing)
Masters of Reality (possibly the first stoner rock band, and Chris Goss has produced most of the stoner rock classics)
STP (especially Core and Purple)
The Screaming Trees
Some great British/ Irish bands:
The Wildhearts
The ALmighty
Therapy?
