The '90s started well with Eye for an Eye carrying the torch and Slapshot continuing on with Sudden Death Overtime. Things got awesome in the late '90s like Snake said with In My Eyes and Ten Yard Fight as well as Bane, Blood for Blood, American Nightmare, etc. Things didn't slow down in the early '00s with great bands like Righteous Jams, R'n'R, Stop and Think, and Mental. From this point, things have been pretty great for Boston hardcore (especially Boston straight edge)... No Tolerance, Boston Strangler, Rival Mob, Prisoner Abuse, etc. etc.
Also, you can't forget that the mighty Siege was active in the mid '80s. That's definitely a highlight even if they didn't reach legendary status until later.
