I love the early 90s music ...and there was a lot out there that didn't get overhyped (and a hell of a lot that did)...here's a sample of what I can remember:

Not overplayed, I think.

Tom Waits - Goin' Out West
"Tony Franciosa used to date my Ma."
Well, it's certainly been overplayed by me, but I don't think I've ever heard anybody else listening to it.
"Lone Star Song" Grant Lee Buffalo

And just for a goof, an interesting '90s sidenote: Extra Fancy was a rock band extensively marketed as having an openly gay lead singer. The band quickly disappeared, but this cover of the spiritual "Sinnerman" was featured on an accompanying soundtrack to the Mega Man television show (hence the video below).

Also, the criminally underplayed Prick, whose self-titled album released on Nothing Records back in 1995 is one of my all-time favorites.
"Animal" Prick

Personally most early Nineties music just didn't appeal. I didn't like rave or grunge. There were some good songs about though:
Happy Mondays - "Step On"
Blur - "There's No Other Way", "For Tomorrow"
Inspiral Carpets - "This Is How It Feels", "She Comes In The Fall"
James - "Sit Down", "Come Home", "Sometimes"
Stone Roses (Really late Eighties) - "Fools Gold", "I Am The Resurrection", "Going Down", "Made Of Stone", "Mersey Paradise"
Tasmin Archer - "Sleeping Satellite"
The Wonderstuff - "Size Of A Cow"
Chris Isaac - "Wicked Game"
Suede - "Stay Together"
Charlatans - "Only One I Know"
New Order - "Regret"
