filter actually had some interesting stuff come out after their big initial hit with "hey man, nice shot". They didn't go #1 or anything, but they're solid for my money (albums like 'Title of Record' and 'The Amalgamut'). However, they (Richard Patrick) just released a new album a few months ago, and it was a big disappointment. I think he will always be under the shadow of being a former NIN guitarist / collaborator.

Stabbing Westward had some success, but then broke up or disbanded in the 90s. They were fun in concert.

Related to the breeders, there is this documentary about the Pixies getting back together that looked interesting...

Nada Surf also had some OK music that came out after their initial popularity died down; I think there was also an album they did that their label held back for years that just recently got released or something?

Veruca Salt (original lineup) made some impressive music for how poorly they were as musicians. The EP where they were on the cover in dresses made from toilet paper was classic.
